‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Swings To $42M Tuesday U.S. Box Office Record, Biggest Pic Global YTD With $1.1B

The Russo Brothers have showered praise on the blockbuster hit "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," acknowledging the film's impressive achievement of shattering box office records left and right. With a domestic launch of $360 million, "Brand New Day" has outdone the previous record held by "Avengers: Endgame," which amassed $357 million in its opening weekend.

In an Instagram post, the Russo brothers expressed their heartfelt congratulations to the entire "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" cast and crew for their remarkable accomplishment. Their Instagram caption read, "Huge congratulations to Destin, Tom, Zendaya, Jacob, Jon, Mark, Sadie, Florence, Michael, Marisa, producers Kevin, Amy, Avi, and Rachel, and the entire Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast and crew on making domestic box office opening weekend history.

The gauntlet has been passed…" The brothers' message was accompanied by a striking piece of fan-favorite artist BossLogic, featuring Spider-Man wearing the Infinity Stones as championship rings, a nod to Michael Jordan's iconic six NBA championship rings. On Monday, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide, just six days after its theatrical release.

This feat puts it in the same league as "Avengers: Endgame," the only other film to gross more than $1 billion in under a week. However, "Endgame" still holds the record for the highest global opening weekend, having raked in $1.22 billion within just five days in April 2019. For now, "Brand New Day" holds three box office records, and with its current trajectory, it is poised to surpass the $2 billion mark by the end of the week. The film is now playing in theaters nationwide.
