Columbia Pictures’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day debuted to an estimated $355m at the North American box office in the best result for the franchise and Sony Pictures that ranks second in the all-time opening weekend roster by a whisker.
Marvel Studios’ stablemate Avengers: Endgame still holds that record with $357.1m back in April 2019, which amounts to $466.7m in real terms factoring in inflation. Brand New Day’s impressive bow also produced the biggest opening day of all time with Friday’s confirmed $169.3m haul including previews, blowing away Endgame’s $157.4m, which still rules the roost with $205m in real terms.
Saturday delivered $101.5m for the second-highest Saturday gross ever, while Sunday is projected to bring in $84m from 4,487 locations. Brand New Day becomes only the second film to cross $300 million mark in its domestic opening weekend. The film also recorded the biggest Thursday preview gross.
In terms of admissions, EntTelligence said on Sunday morning that the up-to-date arrival drew 24.1m admissions, marking only the second time since the reporting service launched during Covid that a film has crossed 20m attendees in opening weekend. The other film was Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, which arrived in December 2019 on $260.1m and went on to earn $804.8m in North America and $1.9bn worldwide.
Brand New Day has raced to a staggering $927m at the worldwide box office in its first weekend and Screen will report full international numbers on Monday.
EntTelligence reported a 79%-21% standard-premium format breakdown and a 54%-46% male-female split for the A CinemaScore release, which also earned a 90% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 98% audience score.
Sony Pictures motion picture group chairman and CEO Tom Rothman noted, “In troubled times, Sony is very proud to have united the world in celebrating a film about hope.” Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo star, and Destin Daniel Cretton directed.
Rentrak reported that overall three-day box office amounted to $429m, up 246% on the same weekend in 2025. Year-to-date stands at $6.2bn, up 15.2% on last year by the same stage.
Combined with the ongoing heroics of The Odyssey, reporting services said the weekend will combine for more than $435m to become the biggest of all time, overtaking the April 2019 session dominated by Avengers: Endgame that delivered $402m, which equates to $525m in real terms.
In its third session, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey ranked second through Universal on $51m from 3,861 sites as the running total climbed to $395.5m. Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 came in third on $6.3m for $461.7m after seven weekends. Universal’s Monsters & Minions and Disney’s Moana rounded out the top five and stand at $168.4m after five sessions and $114.8m after four, respectively.
Magnolia Pictures opened Gregg Araki’s sex comedy and Sundance entry I Want Your Sex starring Olivia Wilde and Cooper Hoffman in eighth place on $600,000 from 700 screens. Wilde’s third directorial outing The Invite, another Sundance film that A24 snapped up, stands at $22.8m from 792 after six weekends.
Angel Studios’ adventure Young Washington ranks ninth and stands at $46.4m after five. Focus Feature’s 2025 TIFF pick-up and summer smash Obsession has reached $262.8m after 12.
