It seems Spider-Man: Brand New Day is catching its audience in a web of intrigue ahead of opening weekend.
Early box office predictions – depending on your source – have the fourth Spider-Man MCU movie's opening gross at anywhere from $465 million to a whopping $800 million.
Either way, it's on the cusp of making Marvel history as Tom Holland's Spidey gets ready to swing into cinemas.
Deadline, using National Research Group data, says Brand New Day is tracking for $195 million in the US, though Variety goes one step further by earmarking over $250 million.
That would put it in esteemed company alongside Avengers: Endgame ($357 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($260 million), and Avengers: Infinity War ($257 million).
Twitter account Global Box Office has an $800 million global box office on opening weekend, which may be a little unrealistic – but not impossible.
In short: it's going to be a phenomenon. We're looking at Brand New Day hitting heights not seen in the MCU since the 2021 multiverse mash-up Spider-Man: No Way Home, and it could become the biggest non-Avengers: Endgame Marvel movie ever.
Spider-Man has always been as close to a box office certainty as possible, but throw in the crossover potential with Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Jon Bernthal's Punisher, plus continued speculation over Sadie Sink's mystery character, and it appears the stars have aligned for Brand New Day to crush any notion of superhero fatigue as we hurtle towards Avengers: Doomsday this December.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is out now in UK cinemas and opens in the US on July 31.
