FRIDAY MIDDAY UPDATE: Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day is heading for an all-time record opening day (including previews) between $167M-$173M which will easily kick the first day/preview opening record of Avengers: Endgame ($157.

The action takes place in New York City but much of the movie, which premiered in London this week, was filmed more than 3,000 miles away in Glasgow.

After 18 years and more than 50 superhero movies and television series, Marvel Studios has one of the biggest hits in its history with a preschool cartoon called “Spidey and his Amazing Friends.”
