The film, released by Sony, took in $927 million globally in its first three days, according to Deadline. In North America, it earned $355 million, just $2 million shy of the record set by "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019, and marked the highest-grossing opening in the U.S. and Canada since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, Reuters reported.
Outside North America, the movie collected $572 million, including $121 million in China. Production costs totaled $225 million, excluding marketing, Variety reported.
Combined with Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," the weekend's total box office in the U.S. and Canada exceeded $425 million, a new all-time record, according to industry data cited by Variety.
Reuters noted the film's success came despite signs of audience fatigue with superhero movies. "Spider-Man: New Day" marks Tom Holland's fourth appearance in the role since 2016. The plot centers on the hero's feelings of loneliness and his desire for closeness with others, a theme that resonated with both critics and audiences, the agency reported.
The worldwide premiere took place on July 31. In Russia, the release is scheduled for August 20; the Association of Cinema Owners had urged delaying the premiere to support the domestic film "The Last Hero: Kolobok." The soundtrack includes the song "Monopoly" by Russian singer Monetochka, which plays in a scene set in Russia. The song was cut from the Ukrainian version of the film.
