‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ broke the ‘Avengers: Endgame’ record for the biggest North American opening weekend with $360 million in ticket sales from theaters in the U.S. and Canada, Sony Pictures said Monday.
Sony on Sunday projected that ‘Spider-Man’ would net an estimated $355 million in its first weekend playing in 4,487 theaters, just barely missing the 2019 ‘Avengers: Endgame’ record of $357 million. However, the fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland had a stronger than expected Sunday and ultimately came in ahead.
Tom Rothman, the chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group, said in a statement, “records are made to be broken, but we will take great pride in this one, for as long as we hold it.”
The high-earning combination of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and ‘The Odyssey’, which share actors Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal, also propelled a record weekend overall for movie theaters in the U.S. and Canada. According to Rentrak, the domestic box office overall is up over 15% from last year with over $6.2 billion in ticket sales to date.
《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》打破《复仇者联盟：终局之战》票房纪录
《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》打破了《复仇者联盟：终局之战》的票房纪录，以3.6亿美元的票房在北美开画周末创下新高，索尼影业周一表示。
索尼在周日预计，《蜘蛛侠》的首周末票房将达到约3.55亿美元，略低于2019年《复仇者联盟：终局之战》的3.57亿美元纪录。然而，由汤姆·霍兰德主演的第四部蜘蛛侠电影在周日的票房表现超出预期，最终超越了这一纪录。
索尼影业电影集团主席兼首席执行官汤姆·罗斯曼在一份声明中表示：“纪录是用来打破的，但我们会为拥有这个纪录而感到自豪，直到我们保持它为止。”
《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》和《奥德赛》的高票房组合推动了美国和加拿大电影票房的创纪录周末。根据Rentrak的数据，国内票房整体比去年增长超过15%，截至目前总票房超过62亿美元。
