Spider-Man: Brand New Day Tops Fourth Weekend, Reaches $2.22 Billion

Box-office strength from overseas coupled with steady weekday holds is pushing the film toward new domestic and global milestones.

Overview

  • This weekend the film stayed No. 1 in North America with an estimated $39 million, bringing its U.S./Canada total to about $854.9 million and its worldwide haul to roughly $2.22 billion.
  • The North American run has the movie within a few million dollars of surpassing Avengers: Endgame’s domestic total and closing the gap on several all-time global grosses, according to consolidated industry tallies.
  • Strong international receipts are a major driver of the total with India estimated near Rs. 570 crore and approximate footfalls of 1.9 crore in that market.
  • Peng Zhang, the film’s 2nd unit director and supervising stunt coordinator, said the toughest sequence was a climactic prison fight shot in a real decommissioned facility using complex practical wire work and that Tom Holland performed stunts at the same level as his doubles.
  • The film’s unusually high presales, premium-format allocations and weekday holds are reshaping studio planning and talent talks while new releases such as Insidious: Out of the Further debuted with about $25.3 million but did not unseat Spider-Man at the box office.
