The film "Spider-Man: New Day" received an "A" grade on the CinemaScore scale. The result indicates that the film met the expectations of most viewers who attended the first screenings in cinemas.
In the industry, CinemaScore is considered one of the most indicative tools for assessing initial audience reaction. The company surveys viewers immediately after screenings in the US and Canada, so the result cannot be massively influenced by "review bombing." Studios closely monitor this indicator: a high rating usually indicates positive word-of-mouth and helps the film maintain box office revenue after the opening weekend.
The result of "New Day" was one of the best in the franchise, but not a record. "Homecoming," "Far From Home," and the animated film "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" received the same ratings. Only "No Way Home" and "Into the Spider-Verse" with an "A+" rating were higher.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film received 98% positive reviews from over five thousand viewers – this is the best result among all Spider-Man films. The user rating of the new release on Metacritic is 7.6 out of 10. Critics received the film somewhat more coolly: on Rotten Tomatoes, it has 90% positive reviews, and on Metacritic – 66 out of 100 points.
