Spider-Man: Brand New Day sets domestic box office preview record with $72 million
Sony and Marvel's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' earned $72 million in domestic preview ticket sales, the highest in Hollywood history, surpassing 'Avengers: Endgame's' $60 million record. The film is projected to gross around $270 million in its domestic opening weekend, potentially exceeding 'Spider-Man: No Way Home's' $260 million debut but trailing 'Endgame's' $357 million. Unlike 'Endgame,' the film lacks IMAX screenings due to Christopher Nolan's 'The Odyssey' occupying those screens, but it benefits from premium formats like ScreenX, 4DX, Dolby Cinema, and HDR by Barco.
