Spider-Man: Brand New Day has achieved a monumental opening weekend at the global box office, earning an estimated $927 million. This figure places the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed film as the second-highest opening of all time, trailing only Marvel's Avengers: Endgame from 2019.
The film's domestic performance brought in an estimated $355 million from 4,487 theaters, while its international total reached $572 million. This debut marks the biggest opening for any Sony or Spider-Man film to date. However, it fell just short of Avengers: Endgame's domestic opening of $357.1 million and its staggering global debut of $1.2 billion.
While final box office tallies are still being calculated, the domestic race between Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Endgame is exceptionally close, with a slight increase in final numbers potentially shifting the record. Despite not claiming the overall opening record, the new Spider-Man movie did set new benchmarks for the biggest preview sales and the biggest opening day sales in history.
Analysts predict that Spider-Man: Brand New Day could become the year's highest earner by the end of 2026, though it faces competition from Marvel's upcoming release, Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for December. The box office performance of both films will be closely watched to see which ultimately outperforms the other.
The opening weekend for Spider-Man: Brand New Day also contributed to the largest collective weekend in domestic box office history, with all films in theaters generating $430 million. The Odyssey followed in second place with $51 million, Toy Story 5 took third with $6.3 million, Minions & Monsters earned $5.8 million for fourth, and Disney's live-action Moana rounded out the top five with $5.3 million.
Starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, and Jon Bernthal, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues the narrative following the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film's success suggests 2026 could be a landmark year for Marvel Studios at the box office, with the final records for the Spidey film's opening weekend expected in the coming days.
