‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Box Office: Movie Is Fastest to $800M
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still catching records amid its historic box office run.
Sony Pictures confirmed Wednesday that the Tom Holland-led superhero feature has surpassed $800 million domestically in its first 19 days of release, making it the fastest movie in history to reach that mark. The North American total for director Destin Daniel Cretton‘s film now stands at $803.9 million, putting it as the No. 4 highest-grossing domestic release ever.
This places Brand New Day just behind Spider-Man: No Way Home‘s total of $814.8 million domestically, with that 2021 film standing at No. 3 on the all-time chart and marking the previous time that Holland led a feature as the Marvel web-slinger. Over the weekend, Brand New Day reached $2 billion globally, becoming the eighth title to hit that peak and topping No Way Home’s $1.9 billion worldwide cume as Sony’s highest-grossing feature ever.
Just four films have ever grossed $800 million domestically. After No Way Home, next on the list would be 2019’s Avengers: Endgame at $858.3 million, while 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens is the movie to beat with $936.6 million.
Zendaya, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal also star in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which heads toward its fourth weekend of release after launching in theaters July 31. Its record-breaking run has included surpassing 2019’s Avengers: Endgame for the biggest domestic opening weekend ever with $360 million. It went on to earn the highest-grossing first week in domestic box office history and become the second-fastest film (after Endgame) to reach $1 billion globally.
Among the titles hitting theaters this weekend are Sony’s horror sequel Insidious: Out of the Further and Lionsgate’s Jason Statham-led Mutiny.
More to come.
