‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Hits $2 Billion at the Box Office


Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed another major milestone: The newest Spider-Man film has grossed more than $2 billion at the global box office in less than three weeks. It’s the second-fastest film to hit that mark, just after another Marvel Studios movie, Avengers: Endgame, and one of just eight films to gross $2 billion.

Since its July 31 premiere, Brand New Day has grossed $785 million in the U.S. and $1.236 billion internationally, according to Box Office Mojo. Brand New Day hit $1 billion just six days after release.

With its latest milestone, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now part of an elite group, joining James Cameron’s Avatar, Avatar: The Way of Water, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, Ne Zha 2, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Titanic. The original Avatar remains the highest grossing of that group, with a $2.9 billion haul.

The previous Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: No Way Home, came close to hitting $2 billion, but ended its theatrical run with $1.9 billion back in 2019. No Way Home, notably, was not released in China, which likely would have helped push it over the $2 billion threshold.

Brand New Day opened to a massive $360 million domestic haul, giving it the biggest opening weekend ever in the United States. The film’s $927 million global opening is the second-highest of all time, behind Avengers: Endgame‘s $1.22 billion. Brand New Day got a second-week boost thanks to an IMAX release, and the film has broken multiple records since.

The success of films like Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Toy Story 5 has put this year’s domestic box office on track to break $10 billion for the first time since before the COVID-19 pandemic. This pair of successful movies is a needed win for Disney, which recently suffered box office misfires like the live-action Moana remake and Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is currently the fourth-highest-grossing film of all time in the United States, just behind No Way Home. The newest live-action Spider-Man is on track to quickly surpass its predecessor, and could ultimately surpass Endgame‘s domestic haul before the end of its theatrical run. Brand New Day still has a way to go to hit No. 1 at the domestic box office. That record is currently held by The Force Awakens, which has grossed $936 million in the U.S.
