Every Box-Office Record Spider-Man: Brand New Day Has Broken
Spider-Man: Brand New Day did something Hollywood had been unable to accomplish for more than seven years: it defeated Avengers: Endgame at the North American box office.
The fourth solo Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland earned an actual $360.1 million in the United States and Canada during its opening weekend, narrowly passing the $357.1 million record established by Avengers: Endgame in April 2019. Sony had initially projected a $355 million launch, but stronger-than-expected Sunday attendance pushed the final result above the previous record.
That achievement alone would have made Brand New Day one of the most important box-office stories in modern history.
It was not the movie’s only record.
The film also established new benchmarks for preview screenings, opening-day ticket sales, the Spider-Man franchise, Sony Pictures, premium formats and numerous international territories. It accomplished those results without access to IMAX screens during its opening weekend, as Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey still held an exclusive IMAX window.
At the time of publication, The Numbers lists Spider-Man: Brand New Day with $360.1 million domestically, $581.7 million internationally and $941.8 million worldwide. Some initial trade reports described the coordinated global opening as approximately $927 million or $932 million. The difference reflects changing estimates, reporting periods and updated actual results from individual markets.
Here is every major box-office record Spider-Man: Brand New Day has broken so far.
1. Biggest Domestic Opening Weekend of All Time
The most important record is also the easiest to understand.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned exactly $360,091,572 during its first domestic weekend, according to The Numbers. That total came from 4,487 theaters across the United States and Canada.
The previous record belonged to Avengers: Endgame, which opened with approximately $357.1 million in 2019.
Sony originally estimated that Brand New Day would finish slightly below Endgame. The studio’s Sunday projection placed it at $355 million. Actual Sunday attendance was stronger than anticipated, however, allowing the movie to move ahead when the final numbers were released Monday.
The achievement matters because Endgame appeared almost impossible to defeat.
That movie represented the conclusion of more than a decade of interconnected Marvel storytelling. It brought together characters from across the Marvel Cinematic Universe and opened with unprecedented demand.
Brand New Day, by comparison, is officially a solo Spider-Man movie. It includes several established Marvel characters, but it is not marketed as an Avengers crossover or the conclusion of an entire cinematic era.
Spider-Man defeated the Avengers without needing the word “Avengers” in the title.
2. First Non-Avengers Movie to Open Above $300 Million Domestically
Before Brand New Day, only one movie had ever opened above $300 million in the United States and Canada: Avengers: Endgame.
The previous movies closest to that threshold included Spider-Man: No Way Home with approximately $260 million, Avengers: Infinity War with approximately $257.7 million and Star Wars: The Force Awakens with approximately $248 million.
With its $360.1 million debut, Brand New Day became:
The second movie ever to open above $300 million domestically.
The first non-Avengers movie to reach that level.
The first movie released in the 2020s to break the domestic opening-weekend record.
The first Sony-distributed movie to cross $300 million during a domestic opening weekend.
That distinction proves that Spider-Man is not merely one successful Marvel character among many. At the theatrical box office, the character is now capable of generating demand comparable to—and in this case greater than—the largest full-team Marvel event.
3. Biggest Opening Weekend in Spider-Man History
Brand New Day easily delivered the largest domestic opening in the history of the Spider-Man franchise.
The previous record belonged to Spider-Man: No Way Home, which earned approximately $260 million during its opening weekend in December 2021. That result was remarkable because the movie arrived while theaters were still recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Brand New Day opened approximately $100 million higher.
That difference is roughly equivalent to the entire opening weekend of many successful superhero movies.
The result also means that Tom Holland now stars in the two biggest Spider-Man openings ever:
Spider-Man: Brand New Day — $360.1 million
Spider-Man: No Way Home — approximately $260 million
The record applies not only to Holland’s movies but to every theatrical Spider-Man production, including the films starring Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield and the animated Spider-Verse releases.
4. Biggest Opening Weekend in Sony Pictures History
Because Sony Pictures distributes the live-action Spider-Man franchise, the $360.1 million domestic debut is also the largest opening weekend in the studio’s history.
Sony has released major franchises including:
Spider-Man
Jumanji
Men in Black
Ghostbusters
Venom
The James Bond films distributed during Sony’s partnership era
Bad Boys
None previously approached a $360 million domestic opening.
The same applies globally. Trade coverage placed the coordinated worldwide launch at approximately $932 million, making it the second-biggest global opening in motion-picture history. Since the only film reported above it is Disney’s Avengers: Endgame, Brand New Day also delivered the largest global launch ever for a Sony-distributed movie.
5. Biggest Marvel and MCU Domestic Opening
Brand New Day is a Sony-distributed production made in partnership with Marvel Studios, and its domestic result surpassed every previous Marvel release.
That includes:
Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Infinity War
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Black Panther
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Deadpool & Wolverine
Every other Marvel Cinematic Universe opening
The significance is difficult to overstate.
For years, the Avengers brand represented the commercial peak of the MCU. Individual heroes could produce major hits, but the team-up movies operated at another level.
Brand New Day has now shown that Spider-Man alone can reach that level.
6. Biggest Domestic Opening of 2026
The film immediately became the largest domestic opening weekend of 2026.
It entered the market after several major releases, including The Odyssey, Toy Story 5, Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. None came close to its $360.1 million three-day total.
At the end of its opening frame, Brand New Day already ranked among the highest-grossing domestic films of the entire year, despite having been in wide release for only one weekend. The Numbers listed the movie with $360.1 million domestically as of August 3.
Its final position for 2026 will depend on how strongly it holds during the following weeks, but its opening-weekend record is secure unless another movie launches above $360.1 million before the end of the year.
7. Biggest Preview Gross of All Time
The record-breaking weekend began before Friday officially started.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day generated $72 million from domestic preview screenings. That figure included its early-access and Thursday presentations.
The previous record belonged to Avengers: Endgame.
TheWrap reported the previous benchmark as $60 million when accounting for the broader preview window used in its comparison. Other historical charts have commonly listed Endgame with $60 million from its full preview period. Either way, Brand New Day passed it decisively.
One qualification is necessary.
Brand New Day had a more extended preview opportunity. It offered early-access screenings for Prime Video subscribers on Wednesday and began its Thursday shows around noon. Endgame began its traditional Thursday previews later in the day.
That gave Spider-Man more available showtimes.
However, expanded previews do not automatically produce $72 million. Many blockbusters have used increasingly early Thursday start times without approaching the previous record. The total still demonstrates extraordinary demand.
8. Biggest Domestic Opening Day of All Time
Including its preview revenue, Brand New Day earned $169,843,039 on its first official domestic day.
That established a new opening-day and single-day record.
The previous opening-day benchmark belonged to Avengers: Endgame, which earned approximately $157.4 million on its first Friday. Brand New Day surpassed that figure by more than $12 million.
Its Friday alone was larger than the entire opening weekends of nearly every movie ever released.
The opening-day total was composed of:
$72 million in previews and early-access revenue.
Approximately $97.8 million from the remaining Friday business.
The result confirmed by Saturday morning that Brand New Day had a realistic opportunity to challenge the full-weekend record.
9. Second-Biggest Global Opening of All Time
This is not technically a record for first place, but it belongs in any complete discussion of the movie’s achievements.
Trade reports placed the global launch at approximately $927 million to $932 million, behind only the worldwide opening of Avengers: Endgame. Updated totals from The Numbers list $941.8 million worldwide after the opening frame and the incorporation of newer actual results.
That makes Brand New Day:
The second-biggest global opening ever.
The biggest global opening of 2026.
The biggest global opening in Spider-Man history.
The biggest worldwide launch in Sony Pictures history.
The biggest non-Avengers global opening ever.
The global result was powered by $581.7 million from international markets and $360.1 million from the United States and Canada.
The fact that the worldwide record still belongs to Endgame should not be obscured. Brand New Day did not claim the No. 1 global position.
It came closer than any other movie.
10. All-Time Opening Records in 19 International Markets
Brand New Day did not rely solely on North American demand.
The film established all-time opening-weekend records in 19 international countries, according to TheWrap’s summary of the reported market results.
Not every country and previous record holder was individually identified in the published breakdown, so it would be irresponsible to invent a complete list.
Several confirmed record markets were reported with exact totals.
11. Biggest Opening Weekend Ever in France
The film earned approximately $26.6 million during its opening in France.
That surpassed the previous French opening record of approximately $24.9 million held by Avengers: Endgame.
France has historically been a major market for both American superhero movies and locally produced cinema. Setting an all-time record there indicates that the demand extended far beyond English-speaking audiences.
12. Biggest Opening Weekend Ever in Brazil
Brand New Day opened with approximately $23.8 million in Brazil, setting an all-time opening record in the market.
Brazil has long been one of Marvel’s most important international territories. Spider-Man also possesses an unusually broad audience across age groups, from viewers who grew up with the comics and animated series to those introduced through the films starring Maguire, Garfield and Holland.
The Brazilian opening demonstrates how strongly that multigenerational audience responded to the fourth Holland movie.
13. Biggest Opening Weekend Ever in Spain
The movie earned approximately $15.6 million in Spain and established a new all-time opening record.
The result is especially relevant for a franchise with enormous recognition throughout Spanish-speaking markets.
It also supports the commercial importance of localized marketing, dubbing and Spanish-language accessibility. Spider-Man is not functioning only as an American or English-language brand. His appeal travels across languages.
14. Biggest Hollywood Opening Weekend Ever in India
Brand New Day earned approximately $31.8 million during its opening in India.
That made it the largest opening weekend ever recorded in the country by a Hollywood production.
India has become increasingly important to international studio releases, but American movies must compete with major Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and other regional-language productions.
Breaking the Hollywood opening record therefore required more than ordinary Marvel interest. It required Spider-Man to become one of the dominant theatrical events in a market with its own powerful film industries and established stars.
The movie’s rollout across dubbed and subtitled versions likely helped it reach audiences beyond English-language metropolitan screenings.
15. Dolby Cinema’s Biggest Opening Weekend
Brand New Day did not play in IMAX during its opening weekend.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey held an exclusive three-week commitment with IMAX, preventing Sony and Marvel from using the format during Spider-Man’s debut.
That could have limited the movie’s premium-ticket revenue.
Instead, audiences moved toward other large-format options.
Dolby Cinema reported an all-time opening-weekend record, with approximately $10 million generated across 177 domestic auditoriums. Two-thirds of available Dolby tickets had reportedly been sold through advance sales before previews began.
The Dolby result shows that audiences were willing to seek out premium presentations even without IMAX.
16. Biggest Combined ScreenX and 4DX Opening Weekend
CJ 4DPLEX reported a record combined total of approximately $31 million from ScreenX and 4DX presentations around the world.
The total came from 1,111 theaters and represented the largest opening weekend ever for those formats.
ScreenX expands selected scenes across the side walls of the auditorium, creating a panoramic presentation. The 4DX format combines the movie with moving seats and environmental effects.
Those formats are particularly suited to a Spider-Man movie because swinging, falling, aerial combat and movement through New York can be emphasized through the expanded or motion-based presentation.
17. Biggest Domestic ScreenX Opening Weekend
ScreenX alone generated approximately $7 million domestically.
That more than doubled the previous domestic ScreenX opening record of approximately $2.7 million, set earlier in 2026 by The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
The margin is as impressive as the record itself.
Brand New Day did not narrowly move ahead of the previous holder. It generated more than two and a half times the earlier benchmark.
18. It Helped Produce a Record Overall Weekend for North American Theaters
The success of Brand New Day affected more than Sony and Marvel.
Its $360.1 million debut arrived while The Odyssey was still performing strongly in theaters. The two movies share Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jon Bernthal, creating an unusual situation in which several actors appeared simultaneously in two of the country’s largest releases.
The combined performance helped produce a record overall weekend for movie theaters in the United States and Canada, according to the Associated Press.
This is not a record that belongs exclusively to Brand New Day. Other movies contributed to the weekend total.
However, a $360 million opening was unquestionably the main reason the market reached that level.
How Does the Opening Compare With Spider-Man: No Way Home?
No Way Home opened with approximately $260 million domestically and eventually earned around $1.9 billion worldwide.
Brand New Day opened about $100 million higher domestically.
That does not guarantee it will finish $100 million ahead—or surpass No Way Home by a similar percentage—because opening weekends and final totals measure different kinds of performance.
A movie’s final result depends on:
Audience satisfaction.
Repeat viewing.
Competition from new releases.
Access to premium screens.
Weekday attendance.
International staying power.
The size of its second-weekend decline.
Brand New Day has already won the opening-weekend comparison. The question now is whether it can maintain enough momentum to become the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie overall.
Did Brand New Day Break the Worldwide Opening Record?
No.
The worldwide opening record remains with Avengers: Endgame.
Brand New Day recorded the second-biggest global launch in history. Its reported opening figure varied between approximately $927 million and $932 million in early trade coverage, while The Numbers now lists $941.8 million in cumulative worldwide revenue after updated results.
Calling it the biggest worldwide opening would be inaccurate.
Its actual global accomplishment is still historic: no non-Avengers movie, Spider-Man movie or Sony release has ever launched higher worldwide.
Why the Lack of IMAX Makes the Records More Impressive
Premium formats charge more per ticket, which can meaningfully increase a blockbuster’s gross.
Brand New Day achieved the largest domestic opening in history without receiving an IMAX launch. That separated it from Endgame, Infinity War, No Way Home and most other modern event movies.
The absence of IMAX does not make the comparison perfectly equal in Spider-Man’s favor. Ticket prices have increased since 2019, and Brand New Day benefited from more theaters, earlier previews and alternative premium formats.
However, losing the best-known premium format was a genuine commercial disadvantage.
The film compensated by breaking records in Dolby Cinema, ScreenX and 4DX.
Can Brand New Day Reach $2 Billion?
It is possible, but it is not yet guaranteed.
The film has already approached $1 billion after its opening frame. A global launch of this size provides an enormous foundation, and strong audience reception could support repeat attendance.
The risk is front-loaded demand.
A large percentage of Spider-Man fans attended during previews or the first weekend. Movies with record openings can experience steep second-weekend declines because so much of their audience arrives immediately.
Access to IMAX screens after The Odyssey completes its exclusive window could provide an additional boost. Moviegoers who already saw Brand New Day may return for the larger format, while others may have deliberately postponed their first viewing.
The film will need strong holds before a $2 billion outcome can be treated as likely rather than possible.
How to Watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day in Spanish
Spanish-speaking moviegoers can check TheaterEars for Spanish-audio availability before attending their chosen showtime.
TheaterEars allows users to select a supported movie and listen to synchronized Spanish audio through their own phones and earbuds during a regular theatrical presentation. The company’s guide to Brand New Day advises viewers to check the app for current Spanish-track availability before the show.
The general process is:
Download the TheaterEars app.
Search for Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
Confirm that Spanish audio is available.
Select the correct theater and showtime.
Load the track before the movie begins.
Connect wired or Bluetooth earbuds.
Press play inside the auditorium and allow the app to synchronize.
The theater continues playing its regular soundtrack while the TheaterEars user privately hears Spanish through the connected earbuds.
This allows English- and Spanish-speaking family members to attend the same record-breaking movie together.

The Bottom Line
Spider-Man: Brand New Day did not merely produce a successful opening.
It changed the record book.
The film delivered the biggest domestic opening weekend ever, the biggest opening day ever and the largest preview result ever. It set new franchise records for Spider-Man, studio records for Sony Pictures, format records for Dolby Cinema, ScreenX and 4DX, and opening records across 19 international countries.
It became the first non-Avengers movie to open above $300 million in North America and produced the second-biggest global launch in history.
The result does not prove that superhero fatigue has disappeared. One exceptionally popular character cannot automatically repair every struggling comic-book franchise.
It proves something more specific.
After multiple actors, reboots, animated interpretations and more than two decades of modern theatrical releases, Spider-Man remains capable of creating a level of worldwide urgency that virtually no other movie character can match.
Avengers: Endgame needed the combined power of an entire cinematic universe to establish its domestic record.
Brand New Day needed Spider-Man.
