Spider-Man: Brand New Day opens with $927 million worldwide, second-biggest debut in history
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to an estimated $927 million worldwide — the second-largest debut in box office history — and helped power the biggest domestic weekend ever recorded.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to an estimated $927 million worldwide, according to Variety, making it the second-largest box office debut in history, behind only Avengers: Endgame. Together with The Odyssey, it also powered the highest-grossing domestic weekend ever recorded.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to an estimated $927 million at the global box office in its first weekend, according to Variety — the second-largest worldwide debut in history, behind only Avengers: Endgame. Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige called the opening "phenomenal." The film, which stars Tom Holland, is the fourth Spider-Man entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 38th MCU film overall. It follows 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home, directed by Jon Watts, and is produced by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios and Pascal Pictures, with Sony Pictures Releasing handling distribution. The scale of the debut extends beyond a single title. According to NBC News, Brand New Day and The Odyssey together grossed more than $400 million at the domestic box office in one weekend — the highest combined weekend total ever recorded. In India, Times of India projects net earnings of Rs 250 crore, a performance expected to surpass Avengers: Endgame and every previous Tom Holland MCU film in the market.
A $927 million opening, second only to Endgame
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has arrived with one of the biggest openings in cinema history. The film grossed an estimated $927 million globally in its opening weekend, according to Variety. Forbes reports that figure makes it the second-largest worldwide debut ever, behind only Avengers: Endgame.
Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige described the opening as "phenomenal."
The film stars Tom Holland and is the fourth entry in the MCU's Spider-Man series, following 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home. That earlier film, directed by Jon Watts and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing, was itself the sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), and the 27th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Brand New Day is a 2026 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character, produced by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. Its opening places it in rare company at the global box office, trailing only the franchise's own record-holder from 2019.
A record domestic weekend shared with The Odyssey
Spider-Man: Brand New Day did not dominate the domestic box office alone. According to NBC News, the film and The Odyssey together grossed over $400 million at the domestic box office in a single weekend — the highest combined weekend total in box office history.
The pairing turned an already major opening into a record-setting frame for cinemas. Exact individual domestic figures for each film are not yet available, so it remains unclear how the $400 million-plus total splits between the two releases. What is clear, per NBC News, is that no previous weekend has seen two films combine for more at the domestic box office.
India projections point past Endgame
India has emerged as one of the film's strongest markets. The film crossed Rs 180 crore in the country by its third day of release, according to ANI News. The Times of India projects it will earn Rs 250 crore net over its run, a performance expected to surpass that of Avengers: Endgame and of Tom Holland's previous Marvel Cinematic Universe films in the Indian market. Endgame has long stood as the benchmark for Hollywood releases in India, so overtaking it would mark a significant result for the Spider-Man franchise. The projections, if borne out, would make the film Holland's biggest earner in the country to date.
From No Way Home to the MCU's 38th film
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a 2026 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character, produced by Columbia Pictures, Marvel Studios and Pascal Pictures, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. It is the 38th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fourth in the MCU's Spider-Man series, following Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), the 27th MCU entry, which was directed by Jon Watts and served as the sequel to Homecoming (2017) and Far From Home (2019).
The film's road to release was not without complications. According to The Verge, a leak of the film has accumulated millions of views. Critical reception, however, appears favourable: The Express Tribune reported positive reviews, with praise for the film's grounded Marvel storytelling. Tom Holland returns in the title role, according to Pinkvilla.
