Sony and Marvel's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" opened to an estimated $355 million at the domestic box office this weekend. That placed it just $2 million below the all-time record set by Disney's "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019.
The film collected $169.3 million on Friday, including Thursday previews and presales, then added $101.5 million on Saturday. Sony projects an $84 million Sunday haul. Final numbers are due Monday.
"Brand New Day" is only the second Hollywood release to cross $300 million during a domestic opening weekend. Endgame was the first, with $357 million seven years ago.
Internationally, the film brought in an estimated $572 million, including $121 million from China. The global three-day total reached $927 million.
"What this means for movie theaters cannot be overstated," Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at Rentrak, said in a statement. "This sets up an incredible month of August and increases the likelihood that this summer will be the biggest in terms of revenue since 2019, surpassing the benchmark $4 billion threshold. No small feat."
An estimated 24.1 million moviegoers attended screenings in the U.S. and Canada over the weekend, according to data from EntTelligence. Roughly 21% of tickets sold were for premium large-format (PLF) auditoriums, where the average ticket price ran $18.55.
"Brand New Day" did not play in IMAX. Those screens are reserved for Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," distributed by Universal. Other PLF chains still posted record results.
Dolby Cinema generated its highest-grossing domestic box office weekend ever, with $10 million in receipts from the film. Screen X collected $7 million, and 4DX topped $5.2 million – both domestic records for parent company CJ4DPlex.
"This is a truly phenomenal opening, and we are grateful to audiences everywhere for coming out and experiencing our film the way it was meant to be seen," Kevin Feige, a producer on the film and president of Marvel Studios, said in the same release. "This debut reflects the enduring power of Marvel's characters, and the connection they continue to have with fans around the world – and, as audiences saw, it sets up exciting things to come."
