  "account": "Sony/Marvel Studios' \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day\" has shattered the record for the highest domestic box office opening, grossing $360 million. This surpasses the $357 million opening of Marvel's \"Avengers: Endgame\" from 2019. \"Avengers: Endgame\" had beaten the previous record, set by \"Avengers: Infinity War,\" by $100 million. Though \"Endgame\" had previously broken records, Spider-Man's enduring popularity, fueled by Tom Holland's performance in \"No Way Home,\" has propelled \"Brand New Day\" to even greater heights. After \"No Way Home\" opened to $260 million domestically during a COVID-19 surge in December 2021, audiences have turned out in droves to see the next chapter of Peter Parker's story. In response to this milestone, Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group Chairman/CEO Tom Rothman expressed gratitude to the entire team behind the film and praised the marketing and distribution efforts. Globally, \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day\" opened to $932 million, placing it second behind \"Endgame's\" $1.22 billion opening. With strong audience scores and the potential to become the eighth film to reach $2 billion worldwide, \"Spider-Man: Brand New Day\" is already leaving its mark on box office history.",
