Tracking numbers for Sony Pictures and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” just keep climbing higher and higher in the days before release.
GlobalBoxOffice reports that industry tracking figures project the film will pull in a massive global opening weekend of around $800 million, with over $300 million of that from its domestic opening.
That’s far higher than the trades’ estimates, which have suggested a domestic opening weekend ranging from $190 million to $250 million, the higher end of that being in line with the previous entry.
If the $800 million worldwide debut figure holds, the film would claim the second-biggest worldwide debut in history behind only “Avengers: Endgame” with $1.2 billion.
They also say that the film’s pre-sales have surpassed $60 million in domestic and $120 million worldwide. The title is drawing the best pre-sales for any movie this decade in both the U.K. and Australia.
How high the film can go will depend on how many showtimes the exhibitors can squeeze in.
In addition, the recent “Avengers: Doomsday” trailer will be attached to the film while it’s expected ‘Doomsday’ in December will have a trailer for Sony’s “Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse”.
