  "summary": "Spider-Man: Brand New Day has achieved a global opening of $927 million at 90,000 screens worldwide, making it the second-best opening in the motion picture industry. According to Deadline, this puts it behind Avengers: Endgame's $1.22 billion and ahead of Avengers: Infinity War's $640.5 million.\n\nThe film's domestic launch was $355 million, Variety reports, making it the second-biggest debut in domestic box office history, following Avengers: Endgame's $357 million. TheWrap notes that it will come down to Sunday matinee and evening walk-up sales to determine whether the film will surpass Avengers: Endgame's domestic record.\n\nThe film's success is notable given the current theatrical landscape, which has been impacted by the global pandemic, industry strikes, and changing audience interests and viewing habits. TheWrap reports that the film's total includes Wednesday early access screenings for Prime Video members and a Thursday preview period, which may have contributed to its strong opening.",
