"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" total domestic gross by August 31?

Platform comparison

Market context

The film opens on 31 July and the market only cares about the domestic total posted on The Numbers through 31 August, so the first four weeks matter far more than the eventual full run. With a 1% yes price, the crowd is effectively saying the August run-rate needed to reach the relevant bracket is extremely unlikely, which is easiest to model programmatically as a decay problem: start from opening-weekend tracking, apply weekday drop assumptions, then test whether cumulative gross can still reach the target band before the window closes. Strong pre-release tracking has clustered around a huge launch, but the market is about *retention* after that first surge, not just opening-day hype.[1][2][3]

Comparable superhero releases show why this is hard to price from opening estimates alone. The same market page notes that traders have compressed seven outcome bands within a narrow range because post-opening legs remain untested, especially against summer competition and changing audience retention for recent MCU entries.[1] Industry previews have pointed to a very wide opening range, from Sony’s more conservative roughly $195 million expectation to external forecasts in the $230 million to $300 million area, which means a bot using simple copy-trade rules would likely need to refresh probabilities after each daily actual, rather than anchor on a single pre-release number.[2][3] For reference, *No Way Home* remains the benchmark for an exceptional superhero front-load, so anything materially below that profile reduces the chance of reaching the top brackets by month-end.[2][13]

The main catalysts are the opening weekend actuals, the first Monday-to-Thursday hold, and whether Disney/Sony release any revised run-time, screens, or international commentary that shifts expectations for domestic demand. Box office trackers have already published conflicting launch ranges, from around $180 million to $190 million up to $260 million to $300 million, so any post-release surprise will likely come from whether walk-up business and weekday declines beat or miss those models.[2][3][10][13] In practical terms, a programmatic trader would watch the daily domestic ladder on The Numbers, compare it with bracket thresholds, and update orders only when the cumulative total materially changes the probability of crossing the next band before 31 August.[1]

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Bot UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
