It was almost five years ago that Spider-Man: No Way Home broke box office records and set new benchmarks for any superhero film not titled Avengers. The film’s success gave the Marvel Cinematic Universe a launchpad for its expansion after the dual success of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Now, in 2026, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been entrusted with the task of saving a faltering and dying MCU, and give it the much-needed boost going into Avengers: Doomsday. And if the final projections are to be believed, Tom Holland’s friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is again destined to swing his way into the record books.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office prediction
In the first week of July, Deadline and Variety projected that Brand New Day would open at $180-190 million in North America. This was based on early tracking and interest in the title. Even this would have been the second-biggest Spider-Man opening behind only No Way Home’s $260 million start five years ago. But in the weeks since, a new trailer and rapid advance booking has increased the hype for the film. Global Box Office reported last week that following a ‘massive new spike’ in pre-sales over the weekend, Brand New Day is now projected to beat No Way Home.
As per the new projection, the film may end up raking in $300 million in North America in its opening weekend. This will give the film the second-biggest opening of all-time for Hollywood, behind only Avengers: Endgame’s $357 million debut. Even the conservative estimates give Brand New Day a $260 million start, level with No Way Home and bigger than Avengers: Infinity War ($257 million) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Internationally, Brand New Day is expected to replicate its success in North America and is projected to open in excess of $550 million worldwide. Only a handful of films have managed to earn over half a billion dollars in their opening weekend, and if Brand New Day manages this, it will be the biggest film opening weekend since Avengers: Endgame in 2019.
