3 august 2026 в 15:37
Before the release of the film «Spider-Man: New Day», - there was discussion about whether Tom Holland had become too old for the role of Peter Parker. He recently turned 30, and although he still looks very young, the character is typically portrayed as a teenager or someone in their early 20s. Therefore, many wondered if Tom could still handle this role. Would audiences accept 30-year-old Tom Holland as a Peter Parker in his early 20s? Additionally, there were concerns that superhero fatigue might affect the «Spider-Man» franchise. Ultimately, all these questions were resolved in three days. «Spider-Man: New Day» set a record for the highest opening day box office in U.S. history and ranked second for the biggest debut in North America.
The comic book adventure from Sony and Marvel, «Spider-Man: New Day», - exceeded all expectations, grossing an astonishing $ 355 million in 4,487 theaters across North America over three days. This marks the second-largest debut in U.S. box office history, following «Avengers: Endgame» in 2019, which earned $ 357 million (not adjusted for inflation).
«New Day» could set a new record if final figures on Monday exceed projections. No other film has ever grossed more than $ 300 million in a single weekend. The third-largest debut in the U.S. belongs to «Spider-Man: No Way Home» from 2021, which made $ 260 million, followed by «Avengers: Infinity War» from 2018 with $ 257 million. Now, Marvel Studios can boast four of the largest debuts in U.S. box office history.
«This is truly a phenomenal start, and we are grateful to audiences for coming out and seeing our film as it was intended», - said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, who produced the film. «This debut reflects the enduring power of Marvel characters and the connection they continue to have with fans around the world—and, as audiences have seen, it opens up exciting possibilities for the future».
What have we learned? We have learned that Tom Holland now plays a key role in Sony and Marvel, and he will likely portray Spider-Man until he is 40. The «Spider-Man» IP is probably the most elite among all superheroes, and each generation wants its own Spider-Man. Let’s not forget about Zendaya—many viewers mentioned her as one of the main reasons they came to see the film, especially since she was prominently featured in the promotional materials. In any case, these are truly incredible box office numbers for the weekend. People really love this little spider
