  "account": "Sony Pictures chairman and CEO Tom Rothman faced a call from his nephew who expressed his desire for a ticket to the sold-out New York screenings of \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day.\" Rothman's remark about the scarcity of tickets was no exaggeration, as movie theaters worldwide experienced record-breaking sales with \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day\" earning a $927 million global opening, surpassing the $358 million domestic start and $927 million global launch of 2021's \"Spider-Man: No Way Home.\" The film's success can be attributed to the chemistry between Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jacob Batalon, as well as the popularity that \"No Way Home\" helped build. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic and theater industry strikes, \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day\" managed to top \"Avengers: Endgame's\" domestic opening record of $357 million, though it fell short by $200 million in China.",
