‘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, narrowly missing the previous record of $357 million set by ‘Avengers: Endgame’.
- Tom Rothman, CEO of Sony Pictures, expressed pride in the new record.
- Before ‘Avengers: Endgame’, no movie had opened over $300 million domestically.
- The combined success of ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ and ‘The Odyssey’ led to a record weekend for North American 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 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. But 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 said in a statement, “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》的北美首映周末票房纪录，票房达到3.6亿美元，索尼影业周一表示。
索尼在周日预测，《蜘蛛侠》在其首周末在4487家影院上映时，预计票房为3.55亿美元，略微错过了2019年《复仇者联盟：终局之战》创下的3.57亿美元纪录。但主演汤姆·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·罗斯曼在一份声明中表示：“纪录是用来打破的，但我们会为这一纪录感到自豪，只要我们保持它。”
在《复仇者联盟：终局之战》之前，没有电影的北美首映周末票房超过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》，票房为2.57亿美元，以及2015年的《星球大战：原力觉醒》，票房为2.47亿美元。
《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影院的创纪录周末。
