It\u2019s something of a Hollywood tradition \u2013 when a new film comes out and breaks all kinds of records, the previous record-holders pass the baton courtesy of a custom piece of art. For instance, James Cameron congratulated the team behind Avengers: Endgame<\/a> on its Earth-shattering box office haul with an Iron Man \/ Avatar crossover image<\/a>; and now, the Russo Brothers are nodding to another Marvel victor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> has a good way to go before becoming the most successful film of all time, it did just have the highest-grossing opening weekend ever in the US<\/a>, earning $360 million in a matter of days \u2013 just edging ahead of Endgame\u2019s $357 million US debut. And so, the Endgame directors shared a congratulatory piece of art \u2013 by Bosslogic \u2013 on Instagram, depicting Spider-Man donning the Infinity Stones as rings. \u201cHuge 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,\u201d the filmmakers wrote. \u201cThe gauntlet has been passed\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen what happens from here \u2013 having already crossed $1 billion in less than a week of release, can Spider-Man: Brand New Day muscle in with Endgame and the Avatar movies among the all-time global high grossers? And will the Spidey team be handing the crown back to the Russo Brothers once their upcoming Avengers: Doomsday<\/a> lands in December? Your move, Spider-Man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It\u2019s something of a Hollywood tradition \u2013 when a new film comes out and breaks all kinds of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":728619,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-728618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=728618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/728618\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/728619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=728618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=728618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=728618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
