Early audience ratings give the new Spider-Man film a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, tying it with Shang-Chi for the highest-rated MCU movies, while box-office projections suggest it could surpass the $1 billion mark.
The latest Spider-Man installment, "Brand New Day," has earned a 98% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes after early preview screenings, matching the score of "Shang-Chi: The Legend of the Ten Rings" and tying the highest audience rating among Marvel Cinematic Universe releases. The rating places the film ahead of previous Spider-Man entries, including "No Way Home" (97%) and "Far From Home" (95%).
"Critics have chimed in, and now it's audiences' turn to watch Spider-Man: Brand New Day," the article notes, indicating that the film is still in its initial release window.
Industry observers point out that the sample size of audience reviews is still limited, and early viewers may be more enthusiastic than later audiences. Nevertheless, the strong early response aligns with the franchise's history of high box-office performance; "No Way Home" grossed $1.9 billion in 2021, and projections suggest "Brand New Day" could exceed $1 billion.
On the IMDb platform, the film currently holds an 8.2/10 rating, surpassing earlier Spider-Man titles such as "Homecoming" (7.4), "Far From Home" (7.3) and "No Way Home" (8.1). The article indicates that both audience scores and box-office figures will be monitored as the release progresses.
