"Spider-Man: New Day" earned $360 million in the United States over its opening weekend, according to figures released August 3, topping analysts' earlier estimate of $355 million. The film's worldwide opening weekend total reached $927 million.
Biggest US opening ever
The new Spider-Man blockbuster became the largest domestic opening in US history, surpassing "Avengers: Endgame," which launched with $357 million in 2019. Rising ticket prices, up by a third in the US over the past seven years, also contributed to the result.
Global record still held by Endgame
"Avengers: Endgame" remains the worldwide opening-weekend leader with $1.22 billion and finished its run with $2.8 billion, making it the highest-grossing film in movie history. Disney later rereleased James Cameron's original "Avatar," which reclaimed the top spot with $2.9 billion.
