Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned $43 million Friday and is projected to finish its second North American weekend with $143 million.

The current projection would bring the domestic total to about $653 million by Sunday. Variety and Deadline reported the Friday result and weekend estimate on August 8.

The movie opened to $360 million in North America, setting a new domestic opening-weekend record. Avengers: Endgame had held the record with $357.1 million in 2019, without adjusting for inflation.

Spider-Man: No Way Home previously held the third-largest domestic opening at $260 million, followed by Avengers: Infinity War at $257 million.

Where the movie starts

Peter Parker is fighting crime full time in a New York City that no longer remembers him. Seeing his old friends move on triggers a physical change that may help him confront a new threat.

Tom Holland returns as Peter Parker. Destin Daniel Cretton directs a cast that also includes Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.

The title borrows from Marvel Comics' 2008 Brand New Day publishing era, which followed One More Day, restored Spider-Man's secret identity and introduced new supporting characters and villains.

The movie begins with a similar reset after the memory spell in Spider-Man: No Way Home. The shared title does not make it a direct adaptation of the comic storyline.
