'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Hits 4 Million Admissions in Just 7 Days in Korea, Setting Post-Pandemic Record

The movie "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" (directed by Destin Daniel Cretton) has surpassed 4 million cumulative admissions nationwide in just 7 days since its release.

According to the Korean Film Council's integrated ticketing computer network, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" recorded a cumulative total of 4 million viewers as of 12:51 p.m. today (the 4th), which marks its 7th day in theaters. This is the fastest record among all films released this year to surpass 4 million admissions. It also adds significance by setting the record as the fastest foreign film to draw 4 million viewers in the 7 years following the pandemic (2020-2026).

Following the three "Spider-Man" films starring Tom Holland, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is aiming for another major box office hit with over 7 million admissions. The key variable is the firepower of "The Odyssey" (directed by Christopher Nolan), which opens tomorrow on the 5th. Currently, "The Odyssey" has surpassed "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" to take the number one spot in both advance ticket reservation rates and total advance ticket sales.

Given domestic audiences' exceptional affection and support for director Christopher Nolan, the early firepower of this work cannot be ignored. Attention is focused on whether "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," fueled by its box office momentum, can keep "The Odyssey" in check and achieve over 7 million admissions, matching the success of its preceding series.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is an action blockbuster where Peter Parker, who has been forgotten by everyone due to the events of "Spider-Man: No Way Home," falls into deeper chaos with the appearance of a mysterious enemy who remembers his true identity and gains uncontrollable power from a DNA mutation, forcing him to face new threats to protect those dear to him. The film stars Tom Holland and Zendaya.
