How much did the movie make on opening day?
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" earned $168 million on Friday, August 1, its first day in release across 4,487 North American theaters. That topped the previous single-day domestic record of $157 million, set by "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019, according to Variety's reporting via Tbreak.
Saturday, August 2 brought in roughly another $101.5 million domestically. That fell just short of Endgame's Saturday mark of $109.2 million, per Lower Bucks Times. Even without a Saturday record, the combined two-day total put the film on pace for one of the largest openings ever tracked.
What was the final three-day domestic opening?
Sunday studio estimates initially placed the three-day domestic opening at $355 million, a hair behind Endgame's $357 million debut, as reported by the Associated Press via ABC News 4. Studios routinely issue Sunday estimates before Monday's actuals come in, and this case followed that pattern.
Sony later revised the figure upward to $360 million once final numbers were confirmed. The studio said that revision made the three-day domestic debut the biggest in box-office history, unadjusted for inflation, edging past Endgame's $357 million, according to The Sun Papers. The jump from $355 million to $360 million reflects the normal gap between early estimates and the studio's confirmed actuals, not a separate re-release or additional screenings.
How does this compare to the rest of the Spider-Man franchise?
Sony called the domestic opening the biggest in the history of the Spider-Man franchise. "Spider-Man: No Way Home," the previous high mark, opened to $260.1 million domestically in December 2021, according to The Star/AP.
"Brand New Day" beat that total by roughly $100 million in its first three days alone. That gap reflects both the film's record-setting single-day numbers and the four-year gap in the story since "No Way Home," which built anticipation for a new chapter. For readers tracking the franchise's trajectory, the jump from "No Way Home" to "Brand New Day" is the largest opening-weekend increase between any two Spider-Man films to date.
How big was the worldwide opening, and what happened in week two?
International audiences added about $572 million in opening-weekend ticket sales, bringing the global debut to roughly $927 million — the second-biggest worldwide opening weekend on record, per The Star/AP. That split shows international markets contributing more than 60% of the global total, underscoring how much of the film's commercial performance came from outside the U.S.
In its second weekend, August 7–9, the film earned roughly $143 million to $145 million domestically, a drop of about 60% from its opening. That still ranked as the third-biggest second weekend ever, trailing only Endgame's $147.38 million and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at $149.2 million, according to TheWrap. A 60% second-weekend drop is steep by blockbuster standards, but the dollar total it dropped from was large enough to still land among the highest second weekends in history.
What does the 10-day total show about the film's staying power?
By its tenth day in theaters, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" had grossed about $655 million in North America, the highest 10-day domestic total ever recorded, according to ScreenDaily. That total also made Sony the first studio to clear $100 million domestically in a Spider-Man film's second weekend.
For readers weighing how the film stacks up against other recent blockbusters, the combination of a record opening and a comparatively strong second weekend — rather than a single outsized opening followed by a sharp collapse — is what drove the 10-day record. A film that front-loads its gross on opening weekend alone typically falls off the record pace by day ten; this one held onto enough of its audience to set the mark instead.
