According to Box Office Mojo, a movie box office tracking site, on the 4th, “Spider-Man 4” grossed $169.3 million (242 billion won) on its North American opening day, the 31st of last month.
This figure surpasses the opening-day revenue of $157.46 million earned by “Avengers: Endgame.” Furthermore, it holds even greater significance as it marks the highest opening-day gross in the history of the “Spider-Man” series.
It also ranks second in global opening records. From its release on the 31st of last month through the 2nd, “Spider-Man 4” grossed $355 million (approximately 510 billion won) in North America over three days. “Spider-Man 4” added $572 million from international markets outside North America, bringing its global box office total to $927 million. First place is held by “Avengers: Endgame” ($1.223 billion), third place by “Avengers: Infinity War” ($640 million), and fourth place by “Spider-Man: No Way Home” ($600 million).
Reactions from foreign media are also drawing attention. The British newspaper *The Independent* raved, “The best Spider-Man movie in 20 years.” Other positive reviews followed, including: “Tom Holland delivers a performance better than ever before. Fast-paced direction and a thrilling storyline” (The Hollywood Reporter) and “Tom Holland brilliantly portrays the character’s emotional turmoil” (Time).
In South Korea, “Spider-Man 4” has remained at the top of the box office for six consecutive days. According to the Korean Film Council’s integrated computer network on the 4th, as of the 3rd, “Spider-Man 4” had recorded a cumulative audience of 3,785,914, and is on the verge of reaching the 4 million mark just one week after its domestic release.
