Spider-Man: Brand New Day Costs $225M, Now Second-Priciest in the Franchise
Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day is swinging in with a hefty price tag — but where does it land in the franchise's budget pecking order?
The checkbook is wide open on Spider- Man: Brand New Day : the new film carries a reported $225 million production budget, making Tom Holland ’s fourth solo outing the second most expensive Spider-Man movie to date. Only 2007’s Spider-Man 3 cost more at an estimated $258 million.
How the budgets stack up
- Spider-Man 3 (2007) — $258 million
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day — $225 million
- The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) — $220 million
- Spider-Man: No Way Home — $200 million
- The Amazing Spider-Man 2 — $200 million
- Spider-Man 2 — $200 million
- Spider-Man: Homecoming — $175 million
- Spider-Man: Far From Home — $160 million
- Spider-Man (2002) — $139 million
That spend lines up with the film’s scale. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Brand New Day brings back familiar faces and folds in a few heavy hitters.
- Tom Holland
- Zendaya
- Sadie Sink
- Jacob Batalon
- Jon Bernthal
- Mark Ruffalo
Big budgets come with big expectations—and the early numbers answered. In U.S. previews, Brand New Day posted a record-setting haul that outpaced the MCU ’s previous champ.
$72 million in domestic previews, topping Avengers: Endgame ’s $60 million record.
That preview surge pointed to an opening weekend well beyond Sony’s internal forecasts—around $195 million domestic and $465 million worldwide—putting the movie in the conversation for one of the biggest openings ever.
For context, a production budget covers the movie itself—principal photography, visual effects, sets, locations, and cast salaries—but not marketing or distribution. On that front, Brand New Day’s campaign was reportedly pegged at over $300 million in promotional value.
