Spider-Man: Brand New Day broke the Avengers: Endgame record for the biggest North American opening weekend with US$360 million (S$461.7 million) in ticket sales from theatres in the US and Canada, Sony Pictures said Monday (Aug 3). Sony on Sunday projected that Spider-Man would net an estimated US$355 million in its first weekend playing in 4,487 theatres, just barely missing the 2019 Avengers: Endgame record of US$357 million. But the fourth Spider-Man movie starring Tom Holland had a stronger than expected Sunday and ultimately came in ahead. Before Avengers: Endgame, no movie had opened over US$300 million domestically. The high-earning combination of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey, which share actors Holland, Zendaya and Jon Bernthal, also propelled a record weekend overall for movie theatres in the US and Canada.
