Spider-Man: Brand New Day Achieved the Impossible in 6 Days

Spider-Man: Brand New Day demonstrated the high expectations from the moment it was released. However, the momentum the film, starring Tom Holland, achieved caught even Marvel off guard. The combination of intense audience interest and strong reviews allowed the film to break records that had stood for years, one after another, within days.

What Box Office Records Did Spider-Man: Brand New Day Break?

The film surpassed the $1 billion mark worldwide in just six days. The only film to reach this figure faster was Avengers: Endgame, which earned $1.2 billion on its opening weekend in 2019. Thus, Brand New Day firmly established itself as the second fastest film in cinematic history to reach $1 billion.

The North American figures are just as striking as the global results. The film earned $407 million in four days, becoming the fastest film to surpass $400 million in the region. On Monday, it also broke the $47 million record held by Black Panther since 2018. International revenue reached $645.8 million.

Its opening weekend in North America earned $360 million, marking the biggest opening weekend of all time. Its global opening of $932 million was the second-best in history. The $72 million earned from previews and $169.8 million on the first day clearly demonstrates the immense interest in the film.

Even Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige said he didn’t expect Avengers: Endgame to break the North American record. With strong audience reviews and a relatively quiet release schedule ahead, the film is expected to reach $2 billion.
