‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Nets Biggest North American Opening Weekend Since 'Avengers: Endgame' in 2019
- On Sunday, August 2, Spider-Man: Brand New Day secured the second-biggest domestic opening in history with $355 million in ticket sales from 4,487 North American screens.
- Expectations were high for the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed feature, which cost $225 million to produce and outperformed initial projections of $195 million domestic despite concerns about audience enthusiasm following Spider-Man: No Way Home.
- Moviegoers responded positively, delivering a 98 percent audience score and 90 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, while exit polls showed about 61 percent of ticket buyers were male and the largest demographic was ages 18 to 24.
- Becoming Sony Pictures' biggest global opener ever, the film will expand internationally, opening in South Korea on August 5, China on August 14, and Japan on September 11.
- Success signals a resurgence for superhero films bolstered by high audience engagement, while Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey remained competitive in its third weekend with $51 million in earnings.
