He does whatever a spider can, including climbing to unprecedented heights. Spider-Man: Brand New Day hasn't been released yet, but it is already making history in the best ways possible. The anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe film broke the record for the best first-day presales in five years, being beaten only by its predecessor, Spider-Man: No Way Home. Furthermore, it has been reported that the web-slinger's upcoming adventure has already grossed $40 million in presales alone.
Excitement levels are off the charts, and with good reason. For the first time in the MCU, Frank Castle will take names on the big screen and cross paths with the wall-crawler. Furthermore, Hulk will return to his savage ways while a new version of Jean Grey is rumored to make her live-action debut. To top things off, six villains are officially confirmed to wreak havoc in New York City, including Scorpion, Ramrod, Boomerang, Tarantula, Tombstone, and The Hand. Needless to say, everyone is eager to learn what surprises director Destin Daniel Cretton has in store, and this has resulted in astonishing box-office projections.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is tracking a domestic opening of $230 to $250 million; it could have the biggest global opening in the franchise
As revealed by Boxoffice Pro, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is projected to have a monumental domestic opening weekend, with initial trackings positioning the movie somewhere between the $230 and $250 million mark. If this forecast proves to be accurate, Brand New Day would be the second-largest domestic opening for a Spider-Man film, just behind No Way Home. To put into perspective how huge this milestone is, here is the breakdown of how much each Spidey movie has grossed in the US during its first three days:
- Spider-Man: No Way Home - $260.1 million
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day - $250 million (tracking)
- Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 3 - $151.1 million
- Spider-Man: Homecoming - $117 million
- Sam Raimi's Spider-Man - $114.8 million
- Spider-Man: Far From Home - $92.5 million
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 - $91.6 million
- Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2 - $88.1 million
- The Amazing Spider-Man - $62 million
Taking international markets into account, things look even more promising. Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed $1.9 billion during its theatrical run and managed to do so without being released in China due to the appearance of the Statue of Liberty in the film's third act. However, Marvel won't have this limitation this time around.
As revealed by Global Box Office, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to surpass No Way Home's global opening weekend, as it is the most anticipated comic book movie in China since Spider-Man: Far From Home. For reference, No Way Home had an incredible global debut of $600.8 million, and its follow-up could very well surpass that mark.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day should cross the $1 billion mark at the box office, and it will be interesting to see whether it manages to reach $2 billion thanks to its release in China. Granted, the movie doesn't have the added benefit of featuring the return of Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of Spider-Man, but even then, excitement levels are at an all-time high.
A key factor in the success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be how good its early reactions are. Superhero movies can perform worse than initially expected if the first wave of reviews is mostly negative, as was the case with Supergirl. On the bright side, the wall-crawler's upcoming adventure has reportedly tested very positively, with some calling it the best Spidey film since Sam Raimi's Spider-Man 2.
The future is looking bright for everyone's favorite friendly neighborhood hero, and the best part is that we don't have to wait long to see what surprises the MCU has in store for one of its most beloved characters.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be released on July 31, 2026.
