Spider-Man: Brand New Day posted opening day record of $168M. Pic could beat Avengers: Endgame's $357M all-time 3-day domestic opening.

✨ Key Highlights

  • Spider-Man: Brand New Day, from Sony and Marvel Studios, opened with an estimated $355M in North America, narrowly missing Avengers: Endgame's record $357.1M three-day debut, though some rivals project it could still reach $358M–$360M+ after Sunday.
  • The film shattered Sony's own studio opening record, previously held by 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home at $260.1M, marking a landmark achievement for the studio's Motion Picture Division.
  • It set an all-time attendance record in the EntTelligence era (which began in October 2020), drawing 24.1 million moviegoers and surpassing No Way Home's prior record of 20 million.
  • The movie's Saturday gross of $101.5M was the second-best ever behind Endgame's $109.2M, and advance ticket sales reached $100M by Tuesday, higher than earlier reported figures.
  • Sony chairman and CEO Tom Rothman, a longtime champion of theatrical moviegoing, said the creative team—including Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, and Tom Holland—chose to go "deeper" rather than bigger, crafting a character-driven story centered on friendship and hope.
  • Producer Amy Pascal, who originally launched the Spider-Man franchise as Chair of Columbia Pictures, praised the film, while Rothman highlighted its emotional resonance for audiences worldwide during troubled times.
