France earned $26.6 million, Brazil collected $23.8 million, and Spain added $15.6 million to the global total.
How it compares to other Marvel films
The film easily outperformed Spider-Man: No Way Home, which opened with $260 million in North America and $600 million worldwide back in 2021. It has even surpassed the opening weekend of Avengers: Infinity War, which collected $640 million globally, earning its place among the biggest box office launches in movie history.
