The latest Spider-Man film, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, has achieved the biggest box office opening weekend in the United Kingdom in seven years, grossing £23.5 million. The release marks the fourth highest three-day UK opening ever recorded, trailing only Avengers: Endgame (2019), Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011).

The film, titled Spider-Man: Brand New Day, outperformed the 2021 James Bond movie No Time to Die, which earned £21 million during its opening weekend.
