The Kernel take
A 66 Metascore ("Generally Favorable," a 71/27/2 positive-mixed-negative split across 56 reviews) makes Brand New Day the most divisive critically of Tom Holland's three solo Spider-Man films, even as its 90% Rotten Tomatoes score ties an MCU record and its opening-weekend audience reception set a franchise high. Its $360M domestic open is the biggest in box-office history, and its $932M worldwide weekend is the second-biggest ever, behind only Avengers: Endgame.
Director track record: Destin Daniel Cretton
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (66) trails Destin Daniel Cretton's best-reviewed work, Short Term 12 (82), landing just below his 69.3-point average across his other four scored films.
Lead track record: Tom Holland
Spider-Man: Brand New Day (66) sits just above Tom Holland's 57.5-point average across his other 19 scored films, but still well off his high-water mark, Avengers: Endgame (78).
