  "summary": "Spider-Man: Brand New Day is coming to IMAX theaters in North America starting August 6. According to IGN, the film had a massive opening weekend, making $360 million domestically and over $930 million globally. This makes it the second-biggest box office debut in North America since Avengers: Endgame in 2019, and it is predicted to surpass the $2 billion mark at the box office by the end of its run.\n\nThe film's success has been acknowledged by Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures, who expressed pride in the achievement, saying \"Records are made to be broken, but we will take great pride in this one, for as long as we hold it.\" As reported by Polygon and The Verge, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be playing in select digital IMAX locations alongside The Odyssey.\n\nThe film's release has generated significant buzz, with early reviews being surprisingly positive. However, not all reports mention the critical reception. According to The Verge, Spider-Man: Brand New Day initially made $355 million following its July 31st release. IGN reported that it has now been confirmed to have made $360 million domestically, beating Avengers: Endgame's domestic opening weekend box office record.",
