Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed approximately $360 million in the US and Canada during its opening weekend, establishing the highest domestic opening weekend ever recorded[citation needed] [1, 2, 3, 4]. The film surpassed Avengers: Endgame's previous record of $357 million, although some sources report a narrower margin of $355 million that fell just short of Endgame's mark [2, 3, 5, 4].
Globally, Brand New Day earned between $930 million and $1 billion during its debut weekend, ranking it among the biggest worldwide openings to date [6, 3, 5, 4]. About 24.1 million moviegoers in North America attended screenings over the first weekend [3].
The film shattered preview ticket sales records with $72 million in domestic presales and early screenings, surpassing Avengers: Endgame's $60 million figure. Paul Dergarabedian from Rentrak described the presale demand as "nothing short of astonishing," highlighting huge enthusiasm for the Marvel film at the box office [7, 8, 9, 10, 11].
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the movie stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man and Zendaya as MJ, with Sadie Sink introduced as a rebooted Jean Grey playing a significant antagonist role [1, 2, 6, 12]. Tom Rothman, chairman of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, said the film “is fundamentally a movie about friendship, about the balm of connection in all our lives.”
Despite IMAX theaters being reserved for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey at release, Brand New Day benefited from premium formats such as Dolby Cinema, ScreenX, and 4DX, setting new records in these formats [9, 3, 4]. Kevin Feige, Marvel Studios president, remarked, “This debut reflects the enduring power of Marvel's characters, and the connection they continue to have with fans around the world.”
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the 12th Marvel movie to surpass $1 billion worldwide, marking another major milestone for the franchise [6]. Final weekend numbers confirmed the domestic total above $360 million and the global gross near $932 million [4].
