Sony Pictures' superhero blockbuster "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has achieved historic theatrical debuts across multiple international markets, breaking box office records in the Middle East and India while securing a massive opening in the U.K. and Ireland.

In the Middle East, the film scored the region's biggest opening weekend of all time across a four-day period beginning July 30, according to exclusive regional distributor Empire Entertainment. Concurrently, the tentpole generated an INR72.44 crore ($7.6 million) gross collection in India, dethroning "Avengers: Endgame" to claim the largest opening frame for a non-Indian film in that country's history.

Additionally, the film dominated the U.K. and Ireland box office with an opening frame of £36.4 million ($48.9 million). This total marks the third-highest opening in U.K. history, trailing only "Avengers: Endgame" and "Spectre."
