Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sony and Marvel’s latest chapter in the comic book adventure starring Tom Holland as the iconic web-slinger, raked in a massive $355mn in its North American debut, industry estimates showed Sunday. The opening was the second-biggest in domestic box office history, only behind Avengers: Endgame (2019) at $357mn, not adjusted for inflation, according to Box Office Mojo.
The film — which also stars Zendaya (who happens to be Holland’s wife), Mark Ruffalo, Florence Pugh, and Sadie Sink — sees Peter Parker living in isolation after he erased his identity from the world, confronting a personal transformation and new threats. “This is a colossal opening,” said analyst David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. “The summer has been without a big action title for nine weeks — an eternity at the box office. The market is ripe-ripe-ripe for this film.”
Spider-Man — the ninth live-action film featuring the hero, previously played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield — earned an additional $573mn abroad, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations. That puts its worldwide total at a staggering $928mn.
