Spider-Man: Brand New Day shatters preview record and sets worldwide opening‑day grosses
Spider-Man: Brand New Day delivered a historic Thursday preview in the United States, pulling in $75 million, surpassing the previous record of $60 million set by Avengers: Endgame. The strong preview has driven domestic opening‑weekend forecasts of about $345 million, with some analysts eyeing a $260‑$300 million opening.
Sony Pictures’ promotional push set a new Hollywood benchmark, generating $309 million in worldwide media value and involving 165 brand partners across global markets. The campaign featured product placements from Little Caesars, Samsung, ASUS, BMW and Liquid I.V.
The film also broke opening‑day records locally: in the Philippines it earned P95,930,965 (about P96 million), the biggest debut for a Sony picture there and the third‑largest ever in the country; in India it posted a net ₹60.6 crore (gross ₹72.44 crore) on day one, topping previous Marvel openings; in Italy it opened with over €4 million and 516,884 spectators, the best debut for a Spider‑Man title and for Sony Pictures in the market. Global weekend projections range from $465 million to $800 million, positioning the sequel among the highest‑grossing openings of the decade.
