“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is already making box office history. The latest Spider-Man movie, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, earned a record-breaking $72 million in preview screenings, including Wednesday early access showings, the most ever for a single movie. The previous record was held by “Avengers: Endgame,” which took in $60 million in Thursday previews.
The film, from Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, also features Jon Bernthal, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, and Mark Ruffalo. Reviews have described the sequel as action-packed and emotional.
According to early projections, the movie is spinning toward a stunning opening weekend, continuing the franchise’s strong track record at the box office. The record-setting preview numbers signal strong audience demand for Holland’s return as the webslinger.
