Few films manage to earn that much by the <em>end<\/em> of their box office runs, much less after three days on the big screen. It\u2019s the second-largest worldwide debut of all time, trailing only 2019\u2019s Marvel titan \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d with $1.2 billion. Those titles reign <em>far<\/em> above the third-biggest global opening, which belongs to 2018\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Infinity War\u201d with $640 million globally.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cBrand New Day,\u201d the fourth comic-book adaptation starring Tom Holland as Marvel\u2019s friendly, neighborhood Spider-Man, opened to $572 million internationally from 66 markets, as well as $355 million <a data-id=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/box-office\/spider-man-brand-new-day-box-office-opening-weekend-1236825953\/\" data-type=\"link\" href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2026\/film\/box-office\/spider-man-brand-new-day-box-office-opening-weekend-1236825953\/\">at the domestic box office<\/a>. Overseas, China secured the biggest start with $121 million, followed by the United Kingdom with $49 million, Mexico with $38.3 million and South Korea with $25 million. The movie set opening-weekend benchmarks in several individual territories, including France with $26.6 million, India with $31.8 million, Brazil with $23.8 million and Spain with $15.6 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tWith such a significant launch in China, \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d is poised to eventually surpass $2 billion at the global box office \u2014 a milestone that only seven movies in history have ever surpassed. \u201cSpider-Man: No Way Home,\u201d the predecessor to \u201cBrand New Day,\u201d managed to generate a staggering $1.9 billion in 2021 without playing in China. Although the country has been hit-or-miss with recent Hollywood blockbusters, Peter Parker still resonates with mainland audiences. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tPremium large formats have been all the rage, and audiences were eager to watch \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d on some of the biggest and brightest screens. Although the movie didn\u2019t play on\u00a0Imax, where Christopher Nolan\u2019s \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d has the entire network for three weekends, \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d established new records for Dolby ($10 million domestically), 4DX ($17 million globally) and ScreenX ($14.4 million globally).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tDestin Daniel Cretton (\u201cShang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings\u201d) directed \u201cBrand New Day,\u201d which takes place after Peter Parker made the difficult decision to erase himself from everyone\u2019s memory at the end of \u201cNo Way Home.\u201d All the action picks up as a mysterious entity threatens New York City. Meanwhile, Spider-Man is struggling with his mutating powers \u2014 and the fact that his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon) are making memories at MIT with zero recollection of their former pal. \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d has great reviews and positive audience scores, earning a 90% on Rotten Tomatoes and \u201cA\u201d grade on CinemaScore exit polls. Without much competition, the comic-book sequel is poised to dominate on the big screen throughout the rest of summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly grateful to audiences for embracing the bold, creative and deeply emotional vision Destin took with this film,\u201d says producer Amy Pascal. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see such a powerful response to a story that never lost sight of what makes Peter Parker so enduring\u2014his humanity. This remarkable opening reinforces that moviegoers are hungry for stories that are both spectacular and deeply human, and we\u2019re thrilled to see that resonate on such a global scale.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All hail Peter Parker.
