Spider-Man Vs. The Avengers: 'Brand New Day' Could Break Record For Best Opening Weekend Ever

Sony Pictures says the film earned $72 million in previews and is tracking toward a $195 million opening weekend in the United States and Canada.

  • During preview showings Wednesday and Thursday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned $72 million, surpassing the previous record held by Avengers: Endgame's $60 million.
  • Critics note 'superhero fatigue' surrounds the release, yet reviewer Margaret Darby wrote the film gives Marvel a 'much-needed jolt of energy' in recent years.
  • Audiences awarded the film a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes as of Friday, while it grossed $168 million from 4,487 North American theaters on its opening day.
  • Sony expects the film to reach $325 million by Sunday, though rival estimates project it could climb as high as $358 million for the opening weekend.
  • Peter Parker must fight crime without his closest allies after a spell erased his identity; Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman says this grounded approach is what audiences hunger for.
