Tom Holland Makes History as the Only Actor in the Four Biggest Opening Weekends Ever

Marvel tops the ranking of the biggest opening weekends in worldwide box office history, with four films in the top spots: Avengers: Endgame (2019), Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021). But that’s not all.

These four achievements share one common element in their cast: the presence of Tom Holland. With the recent box office performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, he became the first, and so far the only, actor in history to star in the four highest-grossing opening weekends of all time. 

The ranking of the four films mentioned above is as follows:

• Avengers: Endgame | $1.2 billion
• Spider-Man: Brand New Day | $927 million
• Avengers: Infinity War | $640 million
• Spider-Man: No Way Home | $600.8 million

In addition to Tom Holland returning as the lead, Jacob Batalon will be back as Ned, and Zendaya returns for the new Spider-Man movie as MJ. Among the new additions, Sadie Sink (Stranger Things) joins as Jean Grey.

Another confirmed cast member is Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, marking the hero’s debut in Marvel films. Also joining him, Mark Ruffalo is in the movie as Hulk and will transform, for the first time in the MCU, into Gray Hulk, a bigger and more dangerous version of the giant.

The official synopsis for Brand New Day has been released:  "It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them."

Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings) is directing the project. Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna, who wrote Spider-Man: No Way Home, are also responsible for the upcoming film. 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in theaters.
