The latest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, delivered the second-biggest global box office debut in history. The movie was initially expected to gross under $600 million in its worldwide opening, but these projections picked up in the days leading up to its release. The final figure came to around $930 million, second in the all-time rankings behind fellow MCU blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, which opened with $1.2 billion worldwide in 2019. With this massive haul, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already beaten the lifetime gross of Tom Holland‘s debut adventure as the friendly neighborhood superhero, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Needless to say, several blockbuster superhero movies, including rival DC titles, were steamrolled by Spider-Man: Brand New Day this past weekend.
Also featuring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink, Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed $355 million domestically in its first weekend, falling marginally short of Avengers: Endgame‘s opening-weekend record of $357 million. That movie, directed by the Russo Brothers, also featured Holland’s Spider-Man in a prominent supporting role. It ended up grossing more than $2.7 billion worldwide, and for a while, was the highest-grossing hit in global box office history. It paved the way for Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed $1.9 billion worldwide in 2021 without a China release and brought Holland and director Jon Watts‘ trilogy of Spidey movies to a resounding end. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, is being presented as the start of a new trilogy.
