Spider-Man: Brand New Day Sets New U.S. Opening Weekend Record

Studio-updated figures show the film’s surge will reshape Sony and Marvel’s box-office outlook and boost expectations for further franchise momentum.

Overview

  • Studio figures published Monday show Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned $360 million in North America, the largest domestic opening weekend on record.
  • Sony’s update also raised the global debut to about $932 million, a total trades placed at roughly $927 million that ranks as the second-biggest worldwide opening ever.
  • The launch was powered by unusually large paid previews and a single-day opening of roughly $169.8 million, which helped lift the weekend total above early estimates.
  • International markets supplied roughly $572 million of the weekend haul, led by China (about $121 million) and a franchise-best opening in India (about $31 million).
  • Strong early reviews and audience scores have amplified word-of-mouth, prompting studios to project a rapid march toward $1 billion and to frame the result as renewed momentum for the Spider-Man franchise and upcoming MCU plans.
