## Summary

Sony's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has broken the record for the biggest first week in domestic box office history, taking over $500 million in North America within seven days. This is the fastest any film has reached that milestone, overtaking "Avengers: Endgame", which previously held the record after eight days in April 2019. The film's rapid succession of records underlines the enduring drawing power of Tom Holland and Zendaya as leads and cements the movie as a major commercial success for Sony and Marvel Studios.

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and made on a $225 million budget, the film also set records for its Thursday preview takings, its Friday domestic haul and the best-ever domestic Monday and Tuesday totals, while giving Sony its biggest opening weekend ever with $360 million, narrowly beating "Endgame's" $357.1 million. It became the second-fastest film to reach $1 billion globally, taking six days, again behind only "Endgame". Sony chief Tom Rothman credited the success to the genuine talent and popularity of stars Holland and Zendaya, and the studio expects strong takings to continue as the film heads into its second weekend against new releases including "One Night Only", "Super Troopers 3" and "Ice Cream Man".
