Sony's New Spider-Man Movie Battling Avengers: Endgame for Biggest Box Office Opening Ever
With great results come great responsibility
by Sammy Barker · Push SquareFresh off some great financial results, Sony will be kicking back and sucking in the fresh air this weekend, as its new Spider-Man movie battles with Avengers: Endgame for the biggest Box Office opening in history.
Brand New Day reportedly pulled $168 million domestically on Friday, with Sony Pictures projecting a $325 million opening weekend for the superhero film.
But some analysts suspect the film could outperform that estimate, which would put it neck-and-neck with Avengers: Endgame’s all-time domestic record of $357 million.
Whether it can overcome Marvel’s ensemble outing or not, the new film is poised to comfortably displace Spider-Man: No Way Home, which currently commands Sony’s best-ever opening weekend, at $260 million.
The previous film in the Tom Holland saga went on to gross almost $2 billion internationally, so it looks like Sony is set to make bank on this latest effort, which also stars Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Mark Ruffalo.
I’ll update once the full weekend results are in, but wherever it ends up, we’re looking at a gargantuan weekend here.
