Spider-Man: Brand New Day made box office history in its first weekend in theaters. The Sony-released superhero movie became the second-biggest North American opening ever with an astonishing $355 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates Sunday. 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 Endgame's $1.2 billion, the AP reports. 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.
Expectations were always high for Brand New Day, which was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and cost a reported $225 million to produce, not including marketing expenses. But there were worries it wouldn't attract the same level of mass audience enthusiasm as its predecessor, which integrated past Peter Parker actors Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield into the mix. In reality, interest was higher than ever. Brand New Day also received strong reviews from critics and audiences. It currently has a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes; audiences gave it an "A" CinemaScore and a five-star rating on PostTrak. The box office analytics company EntTelligence estimates that about 24.1 million people attended Spider-Man: Brand New Day this weekend. It was the biggest opening ever for Sony Pictures.
