Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to an estimated $355 million to $360 million in North American ticket sales, a haul that put the superhero sequel in record territory and sent theaters into another franchise-fueled rush.

A Saturday morning box-office tally put the film at $168 million in U.S. first-day sales, and the high end of the weekend range would top Avengers: Endgame’s $357 million North American opening benchmark. USA Today called the result the biggest box office opening ever.

The film’s global debut reached $927 million, a sign that premium-format spectacle and event-movie marketing still command enormous turnout when a title is built to play everywhere at once. Variety’s box-office reporting placed the domestic opening at $355 million and described it as the second-biggest opening weekend in box office history, behind only Endgame.

The wider frame mattered just as much. Spider-Man and The Odyssey combined for $430 million over the same weekend, the biggest collective box-office weekend in history, while NBC News said the two films together brought in more than $400 million domestically. That concentration shows how dependent the rebound remains on a few oversized releases, even as concerns about superhero fatigue persist. Spider-Man: No Way Home opened to $260 million domestically, and the new film makes clear that “Spider-Man fatigue is not.”

The next test is whether that momentum reaches theaters without a tentpole on the marquee.
