Spider-Man: Brand New Day has smashed the domestic opening weekend record with a $360 million haul, overtaking Avengers: Endgame. The film now sits as the biggest opening ever for a superhero movie in the United States.

Key Takeaways

  • Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned $360 million domestically in its opening weekend
  • It surpassed Avengers: Endgame’s record by $2 million
  • Globally it remains the second‑best opening ever with over $930 million worldwide

Sony confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day pulled in $360 million in the United States last weekend, eclipsing Avengers: Endgame’s previous record of $355 million. Chairman Tom Rothman of Sony Pictures praised the achievement, saying, “Wow! 360 million – thank‑yous to all the filmmakers, actors, producers, and my colleagues at Sony for a fantastic film and an exceptional marketing campaign.”

On the global stage the movie holds the second‑best opening of all time, trailing only Endgame, with a worldwide total exceeding $930 million. Analysts project that the film could cross the $2 billion mark by the end of its run – a milestone reached by just seven movies in history.

In 2022, Spider‑Man: No Way Home came close, finishing with $1.921 billion, just shy of the $2 billion club. With August offering little competition, Brand New Day now enjoys an open runway to dominate the box‑office.

Sony is also releasing the film in IMAX starting this weekend, a move expected to attract first‑time viewers and encourage repeat visits from fans, further boosting revenues.
