The superhero movie isn't out of style after all, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day almost beat the opening weekend gross of Avengers: Endgame.
The short version
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day just barely couldn't beat Avengers: Endgame to become the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time in the United States.
- Still, its $355 million gross speaks to the eternal popularity of Spider-Man and proves that people will still go to theaters to see a great movie about a character they love.
- Getting more specific with the numbers, Deadline estimates that Spider-Man: Brand New Day made $355 million at the domestic box office this weekend.
What happened
That's just under the $357 million record previously set by Avengers: Endgame in 2019, which was pre-pandemic and when superhero movies were at the height of their popularity. It's also possible the final reported gross comes in above estimates tomorrow and does surpass the last Avengers movie.
Why it matters
We'll update this article if that happens.
