  "summary": "Spider-Man: Brand New Day has taken the top spot at the box office with a $360 million opening weekend in the US and Canada. This debut marks the biggest opening weekend in US history.\n\nThe film, starring Tom Holland, broke the previous record held by Avengers: Endgame, which had a $357 million opening weekend in 2019. According to Sony Pictures, Spider-Man: Brand New Day was initially projected to earn an estimated $355 million in its first weekend, but a stronger-than-expected Sunday boosted its total.\n\nThe chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, Tom Rothman, expressed pride in the achievement, stating that \"records are made to be broken, but we will take great pride in this one, for as long as we hold it\".",
