\n\tThere is a brand new title topping the list for the all-time biggest domestic opening weekend at the box office<\/a>, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>\u2018<\/em>s debut has been adjusted in final numbers and will now surpass Avengers: Endgame<\/a><\/em>, which previously led the way. <\/p>\n \n\tSony Pictures<\/a>\u2018 new movie earned $360 million from 4,487 North American screens in Monday actuals, which is up from the $355 million<\/a> that the studio had projected on Sunday. This leaps past Avengers: Endgame\u2019<\/em>s previous record of $357.1 million in its domestic opening from April 2019, a start that for years had seemed to be an impossible one to beat. Brand New Day\u2019<\/em>s global weekend total stands at $932 million, meaning that Endgame<\/em> still holds the record for the best worldwide opening weekend with $1.2 billion.<\/p>\n \n\tStarring Tom Holland<\/a> and Zendaya<\/a>, Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> has proven to be a head-spinning success story. It also set records for the biggest Thursday previews<\/a> and top Friday opening domestic sum<\/a>, along with becoming Sony\u2019s best-ever launch. Before the weekend, Sony had initially been projecting a much less dazzling start of $195 million domestic and $465 million global that would have still put the film among the top 10 all-time debuts. Hailing from producers Marvel Studios<\/a> and Amy Pascal, it carries a $225 million production budget.<\/p>\n \n\tSony Pictures chief Tom Rothman tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> that he has focused his attention on the audience reaction, rather than whether the movie breaks the record. \u201cThere are many, many, many people going to see the movie,\u201d he says. \u201cWhat\u2019s far more important to me, and what is far more significant, is the response. The audience loved the movie. That\u2019s way more important to me than this record or that record.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tBrand New Day<\/em>\u00a0has proven to be a crowd-pleaser, earning an A CinemaScore from audiences and delivering a 98 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, although its critics score is a tad lower at 90. The movie\u2019s viewership skewed young and male, as 36 percent of the audience fell between ages 18 and 24, while 61 percent of the crowd were men.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the wake of this breathtaking success, Imax has changed course and announced Monday that it will split screens<\/a> with Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> and The Odyssey<\/em>. Spidey gives Marvel Studios new momentum ahead of this December\u2019s release for Avengers: Doomsday<\/em>, which also will not screen on Imax when it debuts.<\/p>\n \n\tSadie Sink<\/a>, Jacob Batalon<\/a>, Jon Bernthal<\/a> and Mark Ruffalo<\/a> also star in the new movie from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings<\/em> filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton<\/a>. It centers on Marvel Comics\u2019 signature hero as he endures a lonely life without his loved ones before an invisible enemy tracks him down.<\/p>\n
