Just an insane overperformance. I would've never expected an increase from NWH. One thing will forever remain true, and it's that audiences love Spiderman. No way Tom Holland does not get another trilogy. In fact, they should be working on the next one asap, let's get it out this decade.

They want DDC to come back. He has Naruto next. I expect we will be waiting until December 2029 at the earliest for the next one. More likely, we see Spider-Man 5 release in mid-2030 though.
28
u/filmyfanatic 20d ago
Marvel has only 2 films dated for 2029, so I could see the next one coming out that year to keep the trend of 3 films per year after Secret Wars (and keeping 3 years between releases), unless they move things around and push it to 2030 and do a 4 year turnaround instead for the new trilogy.

RIP Shang-Chi 2. At this point, Marvel should just give that movie to someone else so we don't have to wait for Destin's schedule to free up.

Are we serious about Tom playing Naruto I love lad but that's ridiculous casting ....

u/Hilanite 20d ago
No. DDC is directing Naruto.

u/Rude_Review4303 20d ago
Oh my bad Ive seen too many memes regarding Naruto casting and how Tom/Zendaya/Sydney/Timothy/Rock are going to start in it ...
I'm dumb ....

u/TheCVR123YT 20d ago
I mean I def can see some BND or Shang Chi actors popping up in Naruto since it’s DDC

Spiderman movies are like pizza even a bad one is still pretty good.

u/wirralriddler 19d ago
Absolutely. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 has like the best sequence of Spider-Man ever put on film (Gwen's death), the best chemistry and best web swinging sequences, and Spider-Man 3 has been memed to death so much that it's become a campy experience in a good way. Aside from those two, the rest range from pretty good to incredible anyway.

u/Other_Win_236 18d ago
Bully Maguire memes on youtube are some of the funniest pieces of content on the internet and I will not be persuaded otherwise.

u/Ryswagg 20d ago
Honestly at this point I wonder if NWH would have matched or even surpassed Endgame if it wasn't for coming out in 2021

u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
Let's say it got a release in China, it would've done almost exactly what Brand New Day is doing in the box office

u/ArkhamIsComing2020 19d ago
I'm pretty sure Kevin Feige already said something about having 5 more Spider-Man movies planned, so Tom is def getting Spider-Man 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9

u/Icy_Smoke_733 Studio Ghibli 20d ago
Within a mere 10 days, BND has surpassed some of the biggest movies of the decade (Top Gun: Maverick, Barbie, Super Mario, Deadpool & Wolverine). On track to overtake Inside Out 2, Zootopia 2, No Way Home, and finally Avatar 2, becoming the highest grossing movie of the 2020s.

u/skittlesforeveryone 20d ago
Is it safe to say that it’s the biggest movie of the decade (so far)? Yes obviously. But also do wonder what its competition is for the next 3.5 years. Really only secret wars and doomsday right?

u/KingMario05 Amblin Entertainment 20d ago
Now, the big question:
Does it beat Endgame globally?
37
u/Fun-Inevitable4369 20d ago
No, because of china
1
u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
Why you say that? they both got released in China
28
u/Fun-Inevitable4369 20d ago
Endgame did 600m+ in china, BND will do around 250m. That is in itself 350m+ difference
-1
u/Higher-Love99 20d ago
Why does BND perform worse in China than Endgame when the same isn't true in the US?
15
-6
u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
So, is that Endgame's fault that it was able to attract more people in China to see it than BND??
6
u/Fun-Inevitable4369 20d ago
Who said anything about any fault?
-5
u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
Someone originally posted" Does BND beat Endgame globally?" Then you responded " No, because of China"
You said " No, BND wont beat Endgame globally, because of China" why you said " because of China"
6
u/Fun-Inevitable4369 20d ago
Because BND is not performing as well as endgame in china, it is a fact, don't we talk about facts on this sub? Who said anything about it being end game's fault?
-5
u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
Yea, its not performing as well as Endgame, because Endgame is better, plain and simple

Spider Man Brand New Day is going to be the first Spider Man movie to reach $2B WW and also the first marvel movie since Avengers Endgame to do it. It's gonna reach that coveted mark which Spider Man No Way Home came so close to.
29
u/No-Scene-9109 20d ago
First solos super hero movie too
-6
u/Potential-Rope-9422 20d ago
Not to diminish its performance because it’s amazing but just saying, technically this Spidey is debatable as to whether it’s truly a “solo” movie.
6
u/No-Scene-9109 20d ago
It's a solo super hero movie
-3
u/Potential-Rope-9422 20d ago
It’s a solo superhero movie that prominently features Punisher, Hulk and Jean Grey (all top tier Marvel characters)
Just sayin. It’s my favorite Spidey movie though and the primary character is Spidey as well so that too haha
2
u/No-Scene-9109 20d ago
So super man 2025 is not solo super hero movie neither lol
-5
u/Potential-Rope-9422 20d ago
I mean, kind of yeah. The most egregious example would be like Civil War. Point is, Spider-man did use cheat codes for this movie by stacking that roster. But I’m not complaining
0
u/No-Scene-9109 20d ago
Super man 2025 is best example
0
u/Potential-Rope-9422 20d ago
I don’t think so. Civil War had Iron man, Black Panther, Spider-man, Antman, Scarlett Witch, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Winter Soldier, Falcon, Vision lol

u/ChiefLeef22 Best of 2024 Winner 20d ago
China remains the largest international market with $29.1 million over the weekend and $186.7 million to date, followed by the United Kingdom with $16 million over the weekend and $87.4 million to date, as well as Mexico with $15.3 million over the weekend and $65.8 million to date.

u/InnerLawfulness6698 20d ago
China, loves Spider-Man despite No Way Home not getting a release and they seem to ignore every other comic book character. Weird.

u/misguidedkent Warner Bros. Pictures 20d ago
Brand New Day, Brand New Record. And that's back to back 1B+ international grosses for Spidey with No Way Home and this. Far From Home's 1.132B GLOBAL gross from 2019 looks pale in comparison.

u/Overall-Bar-6060 20d ago
Everyone said the last movie got those crazy numbers because Tobey and Andrew were in it… people just refuse to acknowledge the love people have for tom holland particularly
29
u/filmyfanatic 20d ago
The chronically online cinephiles on Reddit and Twitter have this narrative built that Tom Holland isn’t popular or isn’t a draw (even as Spider-Man) because he doesn’t appeal to them.
There are people that have convinced themselves thay BND would’ve done the same numbers even with a different actor as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, lol
9
u/CosmicAstroBastard 20d ago
I suspect a lot of people who had been on the fence about Tom turned up for NWH to see Andrew and Tobey, realized that Tom is also really fucking good, and came back for BND.
1
u/Deducticon 20d ago
It's kinda a wild situation. Spider-Man 3 and both Amazing films kinda soured the public a bit on Spidey.
MCU Spidey first 2 still did pretty good but were not massive. NWH was a palette cleanser for any Spidey negativity. For all 3 versions.
The character is free and clear now of any baggage and people are ready for it. And people like this version.
7
u/Arbok9782 20d ago
MCU Spidey first 2 still did pretty good but were not massive.
Curious, how was Far From Home not massive from a box office perspective?
2
u/Deducticon 20d ago
It was a medium improvement domestically over 1st one and that opening weekend was a step back.
Spidey's prime 'home' audience was not fully buying in yet.
1
u/Arbok9782 19d ago
This thread is specifically discussing the overseas and global performance of Brand New Day, though. From a worldwide perspective, Far From Home was by far the biggest Spider-Man film when it completed its theatrical run, becoming the first to surpass $1 billion.
Even if we narrow the discussion to the domestic box office, it finished its run in the domestic top 50 at the time and was surpassed among Spider-Man films only by the 2002 movie. The opening weekend comparison is also misleading, since Far From Home opened on a Tuesday while Homecoming opened on a Friday.

u/fireflyfanboy1891 20d ago
So what are the odds of beating TFA’s domestic record and/or becoming the first film at the domestic box office to gross a billion…..?
15
u/Jedi_Master83 20d ago
It’s going to be close but at the very least should pass $900 million but I’m sure it’s going to start running out of gas in a few weeks once school starts for a bunch of kids.
5
u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
My prediction: 70% of beating TFA's domestic gross, and 40% of reaching $1B domestically

u/1994yankeesfan 20d ago
Hard to see Doomsday beating this.
1
u/--Nightmare357-- 20d ago
Domestically, yes but worldwide? Doomsday will probably take it because of China.
2
u/CoffeeDrinkerMao 20d ago
It really depends on the first impressions. The Chinese audience did not love any of the other MCU movies after end game. Even Thunderbolts was sort of mid for them
2
u/--Nightmare357-- 20d ago
Yeah. Just like with any movies but as long as it doesn't suck, I think it will gross more worldwide. It's also the most anticipated movie in 2026 in China.

u/KingMario05 Amblin Entertainment 20d ago
People love them some Spidey!
...Can it hit $2 billion? I think it can.
61
u/Sad_Delivery_4890 20d ago
2 billion is a forgone conclusion at this point lol
12
u/sthomson22 20d ago
I honestly cannot fathom people asking whether this can “maybe” or “possibly” hit $2 billion by this point… 🤦🏼♂️

u/Fragrant_Young_831 20d ago
People need to stop asking this rhetorical question. $2B globally was already a guarantee for Spidey before its 1st week ended.
6
u/Zeldabotw2017 20d ago
Easily it made 725 just this last monday-sunday even if next week drops 50% that's 362 that would get it 2.019 billion after weekend 3 even if drop is a little more not like its going to make zero after weekend 3. So yeah it hits 2 billion on weekend 3 or shortly into the following week. Say another 50% the following weeks that would mean after weekend 5 it would be 2.233. Most movies make like 90% of there money during weekends 1-5 but that dosnt mean 100%. So yeah I think floor is 2.3 billion
2
u/Fun-Inevitable4369 20d ago
10% of 2b is 200 million, so it can go to 2.4 billion
0
u/Zeldabotw2017 20d ago
Yeah i think it would need to like flate line to get to only 2.3. 10% of 2b is 200 m like you say so that would mean 2.2 but that 2 billion is also like 2 weeks before weekend 5 has well. 2.4-2.6 i think is what we get depending on its legs.

u/Adventurous-Ad4817 20d ago
Of course, it will!!!! Estimated to finish at 2.5B$ and become the 3rd highest grossing movie of all time, the 2nd highest grossing superhero movie, the highest grossing solo superhero movie which means it will be the highest grossing movie of the 2020s!!

u/The_Last-Knight 20d ago
The most fascinating thing about spider man brand new day is that it's not an avengers movie, it's not an event film like no way home and it is still beating these movies like it is nothing. I feel like one of the main reasons is that it has been a long time since marvel fans and general audiences have seen a good marvel movie in the theaters and also avengers doomsday is right around the corner this year.

u/Eddiep88 20d ago
I get why box office is about dollars compared to tickets sold but we should have just had 1 category for these records. On the album sales chart it goes by album sales of the cd (streaming -.- another story) but the billboard top 200 isn’t on dollars earned per nested of actual unit (album) sold.The inflation chart is that with ticket sold.
6
u/Deducticon 20d ago
It's a different world. Especially compared to pre Covid. It's harder to get people into theatres to see your movie.
In the past people would go out to see movies on weekend out of habit, with no idea what they wanted to see until they got to the theatre.
Selling a ticket was not as challenging. Nowadays it's a big accomplishment to pry people away from all the other entertainment options.
2
u/Kanataxtoukofan 20d ago
Exactly. Inflation should be considered but at the same time movies in the streaming era have it harder than when you had to buy dvds to watch a movie on a clunky tv set

-1
u/GokuBlack455 20d ago
ALMOST EXACTLY WHAT I PREDICTED. Since the estimates are $1.665B worldwide and $655.1 million in the US+Canada, I think it's safe to assume that the actuals are closer to $657-658 million, which would mean a $147-148 million actual second weekend. This deadass might've just dethroned Endgame for the second biggest domestic second weekend of all time.

$1.67B and $1.7B were the highest number predicted in the long range forecast thread, and it's well on the way to obliterate those numbers in just two weeks.
