Spider-Man: Brand New ⁠Day brought in a blockbuster $932m ⁠in worldwide ticket sales to deliver the second most lucrative opening weekend of all time. Final figures showed the film was the biggest ever at the North American box office, with a total of $360m. This puts it just ahead of 2019’s Avengers: Endgame with $357m, not adjusted for inflation.

The movie, which marks actor Tom Holland’s fourth ⁠outing as the web-slinging superhero, depicts Peter Parker fighting crime in a world that has forgotten he is Spider-Man. Zendaya, who is married to Holland, co-stars as MJ, the love of Parker’s life. The film explores Parker’s struggles ⁠with loneliness and his pursuit of human connection.
