## Summary

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the latest instalment in Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures' Spider-Man franchise, has broken the record for the biggest opening weekend in North American box office history, taking $360 million (about £284 million). This surpassed the previous record of $357.1 million set by Avengers: Endgame in 2019, underscoring the enduring commercial pull of the Spider-Man character and Marvel's continued dominance at the box office.

The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker alongside Sadie Sink, went on to gross $932 million (roughly £735 million) worldwide. It has also drawn praise from critics for its handling of a storyline drawing on the original X-Men films, an element of the plot that had attracted criticism ahead of release.
