The superhero blockbuster officially premiered on July 31, ending the two-week reign of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and immediately setting new commercial records.

Record-breaking opening

According to industry figures, Spider-Man: Brand New Day became the highest-opening international film in Vietnam in 2026, while also entering the top four biggest opening weekends ever for a foreign film in the Vietnamese market.

By the end of August 2, the film had grossed more than VND 88 billion (around USD 3.4 million), according to Box Office Vietnam.

Industry observers expect the movie to surpass the VND 100 billion (USD 3.8 million) mark by August 3 if current momentum continues.

Some analysts also believe VND 200 billion (USD 7.6 million) is within reach, potentially making it the highest-grossing foreign release in Vietnam in 2026.

The film has also enjoyed a spectacular launch overseas.

In North America, Spider-Man: Brand New Day reportedly earned USD 72 million from preview screenings alone within its first 48 hours, surpassing the previous Hollywood record held by Avengers: Endgame.

The Odyssey continues strong run

Although it has slipped to second place after three weeks in cinemas, The Odyssey continues to perform well.

The epic adventure has generated nearly VND 83 billion (USD 3.2 million) in Vietnam as of August 2, putting it on track to join the country's VND 100 billion box office club.

Japanese animated feature Detective Conan: Fallen Angel on the Highway holds third place with total earnings of VND 114 billion (USD 4.4 million).

Hollywood animation Minions & Monsters ranks fourth after collecting VND 158 billion (USD 6 million).

New release Wonderland rounds out the top five despite posting a comparatively modest opening weekend.

The latest rankings also mark a rare moment for Vietnam's theatrical market, with all five top-grossing films currently being international releases, leaving no domestic productions in the weekend's top five.
