## Key points

- Spider-Man previews set a $72 million record.
- Forecasts suggest a potentially historic opening weekend.
- Sony’s official projection remains more conservative.

## Summary

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ has earned a record $72 million from preview screenings, surpassing the $60 million previously set by ‘Avengers: Endgame’. The result points to unusually strong demand for the latest Tom Holland-led Spider-Man film and positions it to challenge the biggest domestic openings in cinema history.

Industry forecasts put its US opening weekend at $260 million to $280 million, potentially second only to ‘Endgame’, although Sony has projected a more cautious $190 million to $195 million. International takings are estimated at $275 million to $300 million; the film continues Peter Parker’s story four years after ‘No Way Home’, with the world having forgotten that he is Spider-Man.
