Spider-Man: Brand New Day Eyes $1.35 Billion as Doomsday Trailer Lifts Opening to $260 Million

2 articles · Updated · The Direct · Jul 25

Summary

  • $1.35 billion worldwide is the new midpoint projection for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, enough to top the $1.32 billion combined gross of Marvel’s last three MCU films.
  • Updated tracking rose after Avengers: Doomsday’s trailer triggered a reported sales spike, pushing domestic opening estimates to $260 million-$300 million from an earlier $212 million-$255 million range.
  • China is a key upside driver: pre-sales are tracking above any superhero film there since 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, with an opening that could reach $100 million.
  • That would sharply outpace recent MCU performance in China, where Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts* and The Fantastic Four: First Steps opened to a combined $25.4 million.
  • The rebound matters for Marvel after 2025’s three MCU releases delivered mixed or loss-making returns, leaving Spider-Man and Avengers: Doomsday central to restoring box-office momentum.
