Avengers: Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo congratulated the cast and crew of Spider-Man: Brand New Day on breaking Endgame’s box office record for the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time , proclaiming, “The gauntlet has been passed.”
The Russo brothers posted a Bosslogic-created image on Instagram of Spidey, draped in the American flag, and wearing the Infinity Stones as rings while holding a chess piece. The post read:
“Huge congratulations to Destin, Tom, Zendaya , Jacob , Jon, Mark, Sadie , Florence, Michael, Marisa, producers Kevin, Amy, Avi, and Rachel, and the entire Spider-Man: Brand New Day cast and crew on making domestic box office opening weekend history. The gauntlet has been passed…”
The Russos will get a crack at reclaiming that opening weekend record when their film Avengers: Doomsday opens in theaters in December.
Domestically, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will be available in IMAX theaters this Friday , August 7, even as The Odyssey extends its run in 70mm IMAX theaters through September 16.
As excited as Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures are about Brand New Day’s record-breaking box office debut, IGN writer Alex Zalben cautioned in an op-ed that “it clinches a feeling that’s been bubbling for the past few years: The Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it is over . … Going forward, they’ll be making Spider-Man movies, Avengers movies, and that’s pretty much it.”
Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which had the second biggest international opening of all time, has already crossed $1 billion at the worldwide box office in less than a week.
In his Spider-Man: Brand New Day review , IGN’s Tom Jorgensen awarded the film a score of 7/10, writing that the film “effectively refocuses on the most reliable pillars of the webslinger: battling inner turmoil, swinging around NYC saving the day, and looking cool while doing so.”
