- The film surpassed the previous record held by ‘Avengers: Endgame,’ which had a $357 million opening.
- The movie was released in 4,487 theaters across the U.S. and Canada.

‘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 had projected that ‘Spider-Man’ would net an estimated $355 million in its first weekend, 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, stated, “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.
《蜘蛛侠：全新的一天》打破《复仇者联盟：终局之战》票房纪录
《蜘蛛侠：全新的一天》打破了《复仇者联盟：终局之战》的北美开幕周末票房纪录，票房达到3.6亿美元，索尼影业周一表示。
索尼曾预计《蜘蛛侠》在首个周末的票房将达到约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，主演汤姆·霍兰德的第四部蜘蛛侠电影在周日的表现超出预期，最终票房超过了这一纪录。
索尼影业电影集团主席兼首席执行官汤姆·罗斯曼表示：“纪录是用来打破的，但我们会为这一纪录感到自豪，只要我们保持这一纪录。”
《蜘蛛侠：全新的一天》和《奥德赛》的高票房组合，也促成了美国和加拿大影院的创纪录周末。
