Spider-Man: Brand New Day brought in $927m (£687m) of global ticket sales to make it the second-biggest opening weekend ever globally.
The superhero movie - starring real-life husband and wife Tom Holland and Zendaya - is only behind Avengers: Endgame, which took in more than $1.2bn in its opening weekend in 2019.
Brand New Day also set a North American record, with box office takings of $360m (£268m) making it the biggest opening weekend ever in the US and Canada.
Brand New Day's early takings mean it shot past its estimated $225m (£167m) production budget in its first weekend.
Brand New Day made $572m from more than 73,000 screens outside the US, including $121m from China, distributor Sony Pictures said.
