‘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, 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. 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》以3.6亿美元的票房打破了《复仇者联盟：终局之战》保持的北美开画周末纪录，索尼影业于周一宣布。
索尼在周日预测，《蜘蛛侠》在4487家影院的首个周末票房将达3.55亿美元，差一点错过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票房超出预期，最终超过了该纪录。
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，但我们会为拥有这个纪录而感到自豪，直到我们保持它。”
《蜘蛛侠：全新一天》和《奥德赛》的高票房组合，也推动了美国和加拿大电影票房历史上最大的周末。根据Rentrak的数据，国内票房整体较去年增长超过15%，截至目前总票房超过62亿美元。
