Spider-Man: Brand New Day eyes $325 million opening
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is projected to open with $325 million domestically in North America, second only to Avengers: Endgame's $357 million.
Combined with an estimated $550 million from international markets, the global opening could reach roughly $875 million.
Sony spent $225 million to produce the PG-13 film, which requires a massive audience to profit after marketing and theater splits.
The movie, starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Sadie Sink, is especially popular with Gen Z viewers, who are drawn to the cast and the film's themes.
The film focuses on Peter Parker's emotional struggles after losing personal relationships, a storytelling choice credited with attracting younger audiences.
