Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Sony and Marvel's latest chapter in the comic book adventure starring Tom Holland as the iconic web-slinger, raked in a massive US$355 million (S$454.8 million) in its North American debut, industry estimates showed Sunday (Aug 2).
The opening was the second-biggest in domestic box office history, only behind Avengers: Endgame (2019) at US$357 million, not adjusted for inflation, according to Box Office Mojo.
The film – which also stars Zendaya (who happens to be Holland's wife), Mark Ruffalo, Florence Pugh, and Sadie Sink – sees Peter Parker living in isolation after he erased his identity from the world, confronting a personal transformation and new threats.
"This is a colossal opening," said analyst David A Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research.
