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.
