"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has shattered the North American all-time biggest opening weekend record held for seven years by "Avengers: Endgame."

According to local media Variety on the 3rd (local time), "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" earned a staggering $360 million (approximately 514.4 billion won) during its first weekend in North America, surpassing the $357 million (approximately 510.2 billion won) record set by "Avengers: Endgame" in 2019 to claim the all-time highest opening weekend box office.

Earning $932 million (approximately 1.3318 trillion won) worldwide in just three days since its release, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is expected to break through the $1 billion mark (approximately 1.429 trillion won) at an unprecedented pace. It is also highly likely to soon reach the $2 billion plateau (approximately 2.858 trillion won).

Kevin Feige, president of Marvel Studios, expressed his joy regarding the record-breaking box office performance of "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," saying, "I am truly moved in the best possible way."

He added, "Given that the theater industry has suffered a major blow for a long time due to COVID-19, no one could have predicted such results. I myself did not expect the record set by 'Avengers: Endgame' to be broken."

He further stated, "However, there is nothing more joyful than last weekend when the 38th installment of the MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) surpassed that record."

Kevin Feige cited the power of characters and actors as the secret to "Spider-Man: Brand New Day's" success. He emphasized, "Marvel characters have grown and evolved over decades. Among them, there is no character as outstanding as Peter Parker."

He continued, "Only when we find an actor like Tom Holland who can bring Peter Parker to life does the magical formula for success come together," expressing his trust in Tom Holland.
