Spider-Man: Brand New Day Creates History, Breaks Avengers: Endgame Opening Weekend Record

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has created box office history by delivering the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time. After setting a new opening-day benchmark, the superhero spectacle collected a massive $360 million during its first weekend in the domestic market.

The movies occupying the third and fourth positions are reportedly nearly $100 million behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Avengers: Endgame, highlighting the extraordinary dominance of these two films.

At the worldwide box office, Spider-Man: Brand New Day collected an impressive $932 million within three days. However, it remained behind Avengers: Endgame, which earned approximately $1.2 billion globally during its opening weekend.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Smashes Records Worldwide, Falls Short of Telugu States Opening Benchmark

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has taken the global box office by storm, rewriting several records with its phenomenal opening. After registering the biggest opening ever for a Hollywood film in India, the superhero blockbuster maintained its momentum over the weekend, collecting more than Rs. 300 crore gross worldwide.

Despite its sensational performance, Spider-Man: Brand New Day could not set a new opening weekend record for an English film in the Telugu states. While many expected Avengers: Endgame to hold the benchmark, trade reports reveal that James Cameron’s blockbuster Avatar: The Way of Water continues to lead the charts with the highest opening weekend collections in the Telugu states.
