Tom Holland's web-slinger just made box office history. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" swung to a record-shattering $168 million U.S. opening day, the biggest first day of all time, per Deadline. Holland's fourth solo outing didn't just open big — it opened bigger than any movie ever has.

The real cliffhanger: Can it topple "Avengers: Endgame" and its $357 million opening-weekend record? Vulture reports that's now the question hanging over Hollywood. The sequel is off to a historic start. If Sunday's numbers hold, Marvel could be rewriting its own record books by Monday morning — and so much for superhero fatigue.
