Spider-Man: Brand New Day made box office history in its first weekend in theaters, becoming the second-biggest North American opening ever with an astonishing $355 million in ticket sales.
Box Office Success
The film also made $572 million from over 73,500 screens internationally, with China contributing $121 million alone, adding up to a $927 million worldwide debut that is second only to Avengers: Endgame ($1.2 billion).
Tom Holland’s run as the comic book webslinger has been a mighty one. No Way Home, his third standalone Spider-Man movie, made over $1.9 billion worldwide to become the eighth-highest earning movie of all time, not accounting for inflation.
Impact on the Film Industry
The triumph of Brand New Day also comes on the heels of another major movie featuring Holland and Zendaya: Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which slid to second place in its third weekend in theaters with $51 million.
The combined might of these two movies helped propel the biggest weekend of all time for North American movie theaters, with an estimated $430 million in total ticket sales, according to Rentrak.
