‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ beats ‘Avengers: Endgame’ box office record
- ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ broke the record for the biggest North American opening weekend with $360 million in ticket sales.
- The film was projected to earn $355 million initially but exceeded expectations on Sunday.
- Before ‘Avengers: Endgame’, no movie had opened over $300 million domestically.
- The previous record holders included ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ and ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.
- The combination of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and ‘The Odyssey’ contributed to a record weekend for U.S. and Canadian theaters.
‘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 initially 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, stated, “records are made to be broken, but we will take great pride in this one, for as long as we hold it.”
Before ‘Avengers: Endgame’, no movie had opened over $300 million domestically. The previous record holders were ‘Avengers: Infinity War’, which launched with $257 million in 2018, and ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ ($247 million in 2015).
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：全新一天》打破《复仇者联盟：终局之战》票房纪录
《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》以3.6亿美元的票房打破了《复仇者联盟：终局之战》在北美开画周末的纪录，索尼影业周一表示。
索尼最初预计《蜘蛛侠》在其首个周末的票房为3.55亿美元，略低于2019年《复仇者联盟：终局之战》创下的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，直到我们保持它为止。”
在《复仇者联盟：终局之战》之前，没有电影在国内开画超过3亿美元。之前的纪录保持者包括2018年的《复仇者联盟：无限战争》（2.57亿美元）和2015年的《星球大战：原力觉醒》（2.47亿美元）。
《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》和《奥德赛》的高票房组合也为美国和加拿大影院创造了一个纪录周末。
