Box Office: ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Swings into Second Weekend With $43 Million on Friday

Spider-Man: Brand New Day added $43 million at the North American box office on Friday from 4,487 theaters. According to Variety, the Marvel-Sony film is expected to earn around $143 million in its second weekend. This represents a 60% decline from its record-breaking opening.

The film's total domestic gross is estimated to be around $653 million through Sunday. According to TheWrap, it is on track to become the first movie in U.S./Canada box office history to make $1 billion without overseas grosses, and globally, it is estimated to reach approximately $1.6 billion worldwide by Sunday's end.

The film's second weekend haul is expected to keep it at the top of the box office charts. TheWrap reports that Universal/Syncopy's "The Odyssey" is second on the charts with a fourth weekend of $30.5 million, and is now chasing down the all-time global R-rated record. Forbes states that Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already crossed $1 billion worldwide and $500 million domestically in its first week.
