Spider-Man: Brand New Day Soars to Record-Breaking Previews
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has made a significant impact at the box office with its record-breaking previews. According to Variety, the movie has secured the biggest previews haul in North American movie history, earning a staggering $72 million in previews. This impressive feat surpasses the previous record holder, Avengers: Endgame, which made $60 million in Thursday previews in 2019.

The success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a testament to the enduring popularity of the web-slinger, played by Tom Holland. The movie’s impressive preview earnings are a clear indication that audiences are eagerly anticipating the film’s release. However, it’s essential to note that this does not necessarily mean that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will beat Avengers: Endgame’s record-breaking opening weekend.
Comparing Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Avengers: Endgame
Avengers: Endgame’s opening weekend brought in a massive $357 million in North America and an eye-watering $1.2 billion globally. In contrast, Sony is suggesting a domestic start of $190-$195 million for Brand New Day, and an international opening weekend of $275-$300 million. This suggests that Spider-Man: Brand New Day may not quite reach the heights of Avengers: Endgame’s opening weekend, at least not in terms of domestic earnings.
However, it’s worth noting that Spider-Man: Brand New Day may still surpass the opening weekend of the last Spider-Man movie, No Way Home, which managed a $260 million North American start and $587 million global opening weekend in December 2021. This would make Spider-Man: Brand New Day the third-best opening weekend in history.
The Future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe
The Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to thrive, with several upcoming movies and TV shows in the pipeline. Avengers: Doomsday, set to release in December, is expected to feature Spider-Man following the events of Brand New Day. However, some fans speculate that Spider-Man may make an appearance in next year’s Avengers: Secret Wars instead. The possibilities are endless, and fans are eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the MCU.
The success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day is a clear indication that the web-slinger remains a beloved and bankable character. With its record-breaking previews and impressive earnings potential, it’s no wonder that Sony and Marvel Studios are confident that the movie will be a billion-dollar hit. As the Marvel Cinematic Universe continues to evolve, one thing is certain: Spider-Man will remain at the forefront of the franchise.
