Cinema VinesTom Holland’s Spider‑Man: Brand New Day has shattered the North American box‑office record for an opening day, pulling in a staggering $168 million in the United States on Friday. The figure eclipses the $161 million that Avengers: Endgame made in 2019, and it is the highest single‑day take ever recorded for any film in the region.
The new record was built on a record‑breaking $72 million from paid previews and advance screenings, surpassing the $60 million earned by Endgame in 2019. The film’s domestic opening day included more than $95 million from the theater‑going public, a figure confirmed by Sony on Saturday afternoon.
Before its release, Brand New Day had been projected to earn $180–190 million in its opening weekend. After a surge in pre‑sales, the projection was raised to $250 million, and following the strong preview and day‑one performance it has been revised again to an estimated $300 million for the weekend. Trade analysts predict a Saturday haul of $99 million, taking the two‑day total to $267 million, and a Sunday that could push the film past Avengers: Endgame’s all‑time weekend record of $357 million. Most experts now expect Brand New Day to cross the $350 million threshold.
Internationally, the film has also outperformed expectations. In India, where it opened on July 30, it has earned ₹176 crore net (₹211 crore gross) in its first three days, surpassing several high‑grossing Hindi releases such as Pathaan, Dhurandhar, Tiger 3, and Dangal.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film follows Peter Parker, played by Holland, as he navigates life as Spider‑Man in a world that no longer remembers him. The cast also includes Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Sadie Sink, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Bernthal in pivotal roles.
