Domestically, the film approached a milestone by collecting $355 million over the weekend, just shy of the $357.1 million record held by “Avengers: Endgame.” On the international front, the superhero flick amassed $572 million across 66 markets, with China leading the charge at $121 million.

In comparison to its predecessors, the latest Spider-Man film has notably outperformed “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which earned $600 million in its opening, and “Avengers: Infinity War,” which debuted with $640 million globally. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” picks up four years after “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” focusing on Peter Parker’s efforts to rebuild his life after the world forgets his identity.
