North America's box office topped $275 million for the July 31–August 2 weekend, powered almost entirely by the debut of Sony's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." The film alone pulled in an estimated $355 million domestically, the second-biggest opening weekend in box-office history and just a couple million dollars behind the all-time record set by "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019. It set a new opening-Friday record with $168 million, per studio estimates reported by CNBC, then added $101.5 million on Saturday and an estimated $84 million on Sunday.
The blockbuster opening reflected strong demand for the franchise reboot and positive early reception, easily clearing pre-release forecasts that had called for a large but less extreme debut. With "Brand New Day" alone exceeding the $275 million threshold, the rest of the weekend's holdover releases only added to the total.
The community was unanimous in predicting the weekend would clear $275 million, with 100% forecasting "yes," a call that proved straightforward given pre-release tracking already pointed to a record-setting opening for the Spider-Man film well before the weekend began.
