“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” brought in $355 million in US and Canadian ticket sales in its opening weekend, the studio said, ranking among the top domestic openings of all time.
The film, which marks actor Tom Holland’s fourth outing as the web-slinging superhero, depicts Peter Parker fighting crime in a world that has forgotten he is Spider-Man. Zendaya co-stars as MJ, the love of Parker’s life.
“‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ is fundamentally a movie about friendship, about the balm of connection in all our lives, and that is resonant to audiences of all ages and all around the world,” Tom Rothman, chairman and chief executive of Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Motion Picture Group, said.
Data from Rentrak indicates “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” had the highest domestic gross opening since the Covid-19 pandemic and the second-highest of all time, behind the 2019 release of the blockbuster film “Avengers: Endgame,” which brought in $357 million in the United States and Canada, without adjusting for inflation.
