Spider-Man: Brand New Day Just Joined an Exclusive MCU Club With Rotten Tomatoes

Fresh off shattering the Indian box office opening record, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now making waves on Rotten Tomatoes too. The film has landed a 98% audience score, tying it with Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings for the highest audience rating in Marvel Cinematic Universe history.

That score edges past No Way Home’s 97%, making this the best-reviewed Spider-Man film yet by audience reaction — and one of the strongest debuts across the entire MCU.

Top-Scoring MCU Movies

Why This Score Matters

Early scores always come with caveats — these are ratings from preview screenings and early weekend audiences, meaning enthusiastic first-day viewers can skew numbers higher. Still, the trend is notable: two of the three highest-scoring MCU films of all time are now Spider-Man movies, and many critics are already calling Brand New Day the strongest entry in the trilogy.

Beyond Rotten Tomatoes, the film is also tracking well on IMDb, sitting at 8.2/10 — ahead of Homecoming (7.4), Far From Home (7.3), and even No Way Home (8.1). Given No Way Home went on to earn a massive $1.9 billion worldwide, expectations are high that Brand New Day could follow a similarly explosive trajectory at the global box office.

What This Means Going Forward

With strong critic buzz, a record-tying audience score, and blockbuster-level advance bookings already reported in markets like India, Brand New Day looks positioned to be one of 2026’s biggest theatrical events — critically and commercially.
