AceShowbiz - Spider-Man: Brand New Day achieved the second-largest opening weekend in box office history, trailing only behind Avengers: Endgame. The film earned an impressive $355 million domestically and $927 million worldwide during its debut weekend.
The opening set new benchmarks, with the film playing in 4,487 locations across the U.S. and 90,000 theaters globally. Its first-day earnings reached $168 million, surpassing Avengers: Endgame’s previous single-day record of $157.4 million. Tickets for previews alone pulled in $72 million, outpacing the $60 million previews of Endgame. Internationally, the film collected $572 million across 66 territories on 73,500 screens, with China emerging as the top foreign market at $121 million, marking Marvel’s most successful post-pandemic launch there. Additionally, the movie shattered opening weekend records in France, India, Brazil, Spain, as well as in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, where it overtook the previous record held by Bad Boys Ride or Die. Notably, its $31.8 million debut in India represents the largest Hollywood opening ever in that country.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released on July 29, 2026, and directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. The film follows a promotional campaign that set new Hollywood records and features standout action sequences such as the Scorpion showdown. This installment continues the trend of each new Spider-Man movie within the Marvel Cinematic Universe outperforming the previous one at the box office.
This milestone confirms Spider-Man: Brand New Day as a dominant force in the superhero genre, proving that Spider-Man remains a major draw for audiences worldwide despite a general decline in superhero movie popularity since Avengers: Endgame. With a new Avengers film, Avengers: Doomsday, slated for December, the Marvel franchise is poised to maintain its strong box office momentum through the rest of the year.
