‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Secures Epic Rotten Tomatoes Score Ahead of Box Office Debut
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest instalment in Tom Holland's run as the web-slinger, has received strongly positive early reviews ahead of its cinema release on 31 July. The film currently holds a 91% score on Rotten Tomatoes, a notable result given the high expectations following the success of the previous outing, No Way Home, and marks the film out as a serious contender at the summer box office.
The film stars Holland alongside Zendaya and Jon Bernthal, with Sadie Sink appearing in a role yet to be disclosed, and is expected to challenge for $1 billion globally. It is also tipped to overtake Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which has already taken close to $700 million in its first fortnight, as the biggest film currently in cinemas. The review comes shortly after Marvel Studios used its San Diego Comic-Con panel to reveal major future plans, including David Jonsson as the new Black Panther and Ryan Gosling starring in a Shawn Levy-directed Ghost Rider film, ahead of Avengers: Doomsday's release on 18 December.

- Spider-Man: Brand New Day scores 91% on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of 31 July release

Explained simply
Spider-Man is one of the world's most famous superhero characters, and Tom Holland has played this character in several films since 2016. His films have been notably successful, with the previous instalment, No Way Home, becoming one of the highest-grossing films ever made.
Rotten Tomatoes is a website that collects reviews from film critics and combines them into a single score. These scores help potential audiences understand critical reception, and high scores often encourage people to watch the film.
Large-budget films like Spider-Man are major financial investments, and the amount of money they make at the box office shapes what types of films studios choose to produce in future. This means the success of blockbuster franchises has wider implications for what entertainment audiences see at cinemas.
