Spider-Man: Brand New Day Won't Break Two Tom Holland MCU Records & That's Alright

Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be massive at the box office, but the MCU movie simply can't break these two Tom Holland Marvel records.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has the hard task of following one of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's biggest movies ever, and for that reason, I have trouble believing it could break two impressive Tom Holland MCU records. When it comes to Peter Parker, Marvel Studios struck gold. Two of the MCU's Spider-Man movies have broken the $1 billion barrier worldwide.

All of Marvel's confirmed upcoming movies — Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Doomsday, and Avengers: Secret Wars — have the potential to do the same. However, despite the impressive cast of the next Spider-Man movie, Holland is unlikely to break two major MCU Spider-Man records due to a few elements. That said, this is perfectly fine, given Spider-Man's situation.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Set Up Two Major Box Office Records That Brand New Day Is Unlikely To Beat

Spider-Man: No Way Home is one of the biggest movies not only in MCU history, but of all time. Had it been released in China, it would have broken the $2 billion mark. Still, its $1.9 billion total is surreal, with a solo hero having the success that Marvel had only seen before with its Avengers movies.

To get there, the multiverse certainly helped. Spider-Man: No Way Home was a generational event that brought back Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's versions of Spider-Man for the first time since the actors had last played the Marvel character in their final solo movies. The film also included returning villains from both Spider-Man franchises, Benedict Cumberbatch's Doctor Strange, and Charlie Cox's Daredevil.

As such, despite the fact that Spider-Man: Brand New Day features Mark Ruffalo's Hulk and Jon Bernthal's Punisher, the movie does not have the same anticipation built up for it that seeing the three live-action Spider-Men together had. As such, surpassing No Way Home's $1.9 million global total and $260.1 million domestic opening — the second biggest ever — will be nearly impossible.

Why Spider-Man: Brand New Day Not Breaking No Way Home's Records Is Alright

While each MCU Spider-Man movie has made more than its predecessor at the box office up to this point, it is okay for Brand New Day to break that streak. Marvel's next Spider-Man movie is a street-level story that is meant to serve as a fresh start for Peter Parker in the franchise, as revealed by Tom Holland.

The movie is purposefully going for a smaller-scale story, which could serve as the first film in a new MCU Spider-Man trilogy, eventually building up to another No Way Home-level event at the box office. Still, with Holland's positive track record in the MCU and the addition of the Hulk and the Punisher, Spider-Man: Brand New Day should pass $1 billion.
