New Spider-Man film posts the second-largest global opening on record
Disney’s latest Spider-Man release drew an estimated $355 million in its first weekend worldwide, trailing only Avengers: Endgame.
Disney’s new Spider-Man movie opened to an estimated $355 million worldwide over the weekend, making it the second-biggest global debut ever, according to box office estimates cited by BBC Business and Forbes. The result gives the company a lift before the release of Avengers: Doomsday.
The film, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, was estimated to have taken in about $927 million globally in total, Forbes reported. That figure leaves it behind only Avengers: Endgame in the all-time opening-weekend rankings.
The strong start adds momentum to Disney’s film slate after a period in which major studio releases have faced uneven audience turnout. The company is also preparing for the next Avengers title, which is expected to be one of its biggest upcoming releases.
The reports did not provide a full breakdown of the weekend’s regional box office results. The figures were published by BBC Business and Forbes on August 2 and August 3.
