- The film is the fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland, and Sony said its Sunday turnout was stronger than expected.
- Sony had initially projected a $355 million opening based on estimates from 4,487 theaters.

Sony Pictures said “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” earned $360 million in ticket sales in the U.S. and Canada during its opening weekend. That total broke the North American opening-weekend record previously held by “Avengers: Endgame,” which had taken in $357 million in 2019.
Sony had projected a $355 million debut on Sunday, but the film outperformed that estimate after a stronger-than-expected final day. The movie is the fourth Spider-Man installment starring Tom Holland.
The company’s chairman of motion picture group, Tom Rothman, said records are made to be broken and said Sony would take pride in holding this one. Before “Endgame,” no film had opened above $300 million domestically.
The article also says the combined success of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “The Odyssey,” which share cast members including Holland, Zendaya and Jon Bernthal, helped create the biggest weekend on record for North American theaters.
