LOS ANGELES: Hollywood’s latest Spider-Man film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has made a spectacular start at the global box office, earning an estimated $355 million during its opening weekend, according to international media reports.
The figure puts the film just behind Avengers: Endgame, which remains the biggest opening in US box office history after taking $357 million in its debut weekend in 2019.
The strong performance gives Spider-Man: Brand New Day one of the biggest openings ever recorded and underlines the enduring popularity of the Marvel superhero franchise.
The film stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man, with Zendaya also playing a leading role. The two actors, who are married in real life, have once again reunited on screen for the latest chapter in the franchise.
With its record-breaking opening, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic releases of the year.
