Spider-Man: Brand New Day is closing in on $1 billion in global ticket sales after posting the second-largest opening weekend in cinema history, according to French business outlet Les Echos.
The film, starring Tom Holland, has also earned strong reviews. French entertainment site AlloCiné reports audiences have rated it 4.3 out of 5, with one critic describing it as a massive crossover that closes out an extraordinary story arc. Ecran Large, which first flagged the box office figures, suggests the debut may have set a historic record for the franchise.
The release marks a new chapter for the web-slinger, following the events of the previous trilogy. According to BFM, the film's ending is packed with references that fans may have missed on first viewing, hinting at deeper connections to the wider Marvel universe.
Holland, who has played Peter Parker since 2016, told Yahoo Life France he will keep playing Spider-Man as long as audiences want him to. His comments suggest the character's big-screen future remains open, even as this latest film closes out a major storyline.
The combination of record-breaking box office numbers, strong audience scores, and Holland's commitment to the role points to a bright future for the franchise. With the film still in theaters and global markets continuing to report in, the question now is whether it can push past the $1 billion mark and challenge the all-time opening record held by another Marvel title.
