Could this Brand-New Day be Tom Holland’s next billion-dollar blockbuster after Spider-Man: No Way Home? His last billion-dollar blockbuster, No Way Home, earned $804.8 million domestically (42.1%) and $1.106 billion internationally (57.9%), for a massive worldwide total of $1.91 billion. Directed by Jon Watts, the movie became a landmark multiverse event.
Early projections suggest that Spider-Man: Brand New Day could gross more than $300 million during its opening weekend and around $800 million worldwide in its global debut.
For comparison, Avengers: Endgame opened to $357.1 million domestically and a record-breaking $1.2 billion worldwide. In comparison, Spider-Man: No Way Home earned $260.1 million domestically and $587.2 million globally in its opening weekend, making it the third-biggest worldwide opening in cinema history.
Released in 2019, Avengers: Endgame remains the highest-grossing film in MCU history, earning $858.4 million domestically (30.7%) and an astonishing $2.799 billion worldwide. The film’s record-breaking box office was driven by several factors, including the reunion of the MCU’s biggest stars such as Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, and Chris Evans. It also marked Tony Stark’s emotional farewell as Iron Man, bringing the Infinity Saga to a powerful and unforgettable conclusion that resonated with audiences worldwide.
Just a few months after Avengers: Endgame, while fans were still celebrating its emotional conclusion, Tom Holland returned to theaters with Spider-Man: Far From Home in July 2019. Directed by Jon Watts, the film proved it could succeed without the full Avengers team, earning $390.5 million domestically and an impressive $1.132 billion worldwide.
Looking at the box office performance of these two Marvel franchises, both have delivered extraordinary results. The *Avengers* series earned a combined *$7.77 billion* worldwide across four films: The Avengers (2012) with $1.518 billion, Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) with $1.405 billion, Avengers: Infinity War (2018) with $2.048 billion, and Avengers: Endgame (2019) with $2.799 billion.
On the other hand, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy has been an extraordinary box office success, grossing a combined $3.93 billion worldwide from just three films. The franchise began with Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), which earned $880.1 million, followed by Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019) with $1.131 billion, and reached its peak with Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021), which became a global phenomenon by earning $1.921 billion worldwide.
These numbers clearly show that Tom Holland’s Spider-Man series is the MCU’s biggest box office franchise after the Avengers films. Given its proven track record and enormous global popularity, the franchise has the potential to deliver another record-breaking hit and could even challenge the box office success of Avengers: Endgame.
Before its July 31 release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned a 92% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 70 on Metacritic.
