Spider-Man: Brand New Day Drops Out of MCU's Top 10 on Rotten Tomatoes

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has fallen out of the top 10 Marvel Cinematic Universe films ranked by critic scores on Rotten Tomatoes, now holding an 89% rating. This contrasts sharply with its 98% audience score, which ties it for first place with Shang-Chi. The film's critic score dropped below 90% after dozens of additional reviews were added, placing it behind 12 other MCU titles including Black Panther, Avengers: Endgame, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. Despite the critical divide, the movie set an all-time opening weekend record with $360 million domestically. The 9% gap between critic and audience scores is notably wide, with some critics citing a lack of psychological depth and excessive angst. The film is expected to become the second-fastest movie to cross $1 billion at the box office.
