‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Targets $195M US Opening

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ is set for a massive box office debut, with Sony expecting the biggest opening weekend of 2026. After ‘The Odyssey’ led the box office for two weeks without major competition, ‘Brand New Day,’ starring Tom Holland, is aiming for a $195 million domestic opening. Sony's projection matches third-party tracking and would surpass ‘Toy Story 5's’ $159.6 million launch for the biggest domestic debut of 2026. A $195 million opening would also place the movie among the top 10 domestic openings of all time, ahead of 2019's ‘The Lion King’ remake. Internationally, Sony expects another $270 million, including strong business in China, for a projected worldwide opening of $465 million. That would give Sony its second-biggest global launch ever behind ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home's’ $600.5 million debut. With early reviews sitting at 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, strong critical acclaim could drive ticket sales even higher.
