‘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 surpassed the previous record of $357 million set by ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in 2019.
- The movie was released in 4,487 theaters across the U.S. and Canada.
- This weekend also marked the biggest overall weekend for North American movie theaters.
- The domestic box office is up over 15% from last year, with over $6.2 billion in ticket sales to date.
‘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.'
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》打破了《复仇者联盟：终局之战》创下的北美开画周末票房纪录，票房达3.6亿美元，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到约3.55亿美元，稍微低于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票房表现超出预期，最终超过了这一纪录。
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，但我们将为这一纪录感到自豪，只要我们保持这一纪录。”
在《复仇者联盟：终局之战》之前，没有电影的国内票房超过3亿美元。之前的纪录保持者是2018年的《复仇者联盟：无限战争》，首周票房为2.57亿美元，以及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，推动了美国和加拿大电影市场的整体纪录周末。
