Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already beaten No Way Home's box office record in the Thursday preview screenings.
The new MCU film has been one of the most highly anticipated releases this year, as fans are looking forward to seeing Spider-Man's next solo adventure, as well as the other surprises in store, such as Sadie Sink's mysterious character.
As the film is now showing in theaters worldwide, it is already surpassing the box office performance of its predecessor.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Beats No Way Home's Box Office in Previews
According to Deadline, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already breaking box office records in Thursday previews and has even beaten the record of No Way Home.
The new MCU film earned more than $50 million in its Thursday night previews. Some reports have suggested that the numbers might go as high as $70 million and even surpass Avengers: Endgame once the final figures are out.
For comparison, No Way Home, which was released in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, earned $50 million in its Thursday previews. It ended up earning around $260 million in its opening weekend.
Based on the current trajectory, Brand New Day will likely end up having an opening weekend box office of around $260-300 million.
What makes this more impressive is that the film is not available on IMAX in North America (The Odyssey is currently occupying all screenings) and the story is more grounded and has no multiversal elements like the previous installment.
This is exciting news for Marvel Studios given the struggles of the MCU over the last several years, and this shows that the franchise still has momentum, especially leading up to the release of Avengers: Doomsday later this year.
It would be interesting to see how the numbers play out by the end of its opening weekend, as well as the rest of its theatrical run.
What Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day About?
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will mark an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves.
Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city, a full-time Spider-Man, but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.
The main cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, Mark Ruffalo, Florence Pugh, and Liza Colon-Zayas.
The film is now showing in theaters worldwide.
