Spider-Man: Brand New Day breaks seven-year box office curse

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already breaking records

Tom Holland reprises the title role for the first time since 2021’s No Way Home, which grossed $1.921 billion to become the eighth highest-grossing film of all time. The sequel is projected to open globally above $450 million.

Why Brand New Day Matters For Marvel

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the movie has already earned $16.5 million in China and is on track to earn an opening day of $37.4 million. This makes it the best performing American film since 2019. A strong China number before the film has even opened in most markets suggests the appetite for Holland’s Peter Parker has not faded.

If the projections hold, Holland’s return could reset the web-slinger’s fortunes and set up the next chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
