"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" topped the North American box office for a fourth consecutive weekend, according to studio estimates tracked by The Numbers, extending a run that has already made it the highest-grossing "Spider-Man" film in history. The Sony and Marvel Studios release, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and led by Tom Holland, Zendaya and Sadie Sink, has now out-earned all seven of its predecessors in the 24-year-old franchise, both domestically and worldwide.
A Record Pace
The film crossed $2 billion worldwide in just three weekends of release, according to TheWrap, making it only the eighth film ever to reach that threshold and the second-fastest to get there, trailing only "Avengers: Endgame," which needed 11 days in 2019. Its domestic haul has since climbed to $854.9 million, per The Numbers, edging past "Spider-Man: No Way Home's" final domestic total of $814.9 million. Worldwide, Brand New Day has likewise pushed beyond No Way Home's $1.92 billion lifetime gross, the mark it now holds as the top-earning "Spider-Man" release ever made.
The film's climb has coincided with a broader rebound at the domestic box office, which had crossed $7 billion for the year by late August — roughly 20% ahead of the same point in 2025, according to industry tracking cited by Deadline. Sony Pictures chairman Tom Rothman, addressing the film's run, credited Spider-Man's cross-generational pull and the draw of the theatrical experience itself.
What happened is miraculous. Spider-Man is uniting people across cultures and ages. People can piss on theatrical all they want, but that's one thing that only movies — and movie theaters — can do.

The film, which also stars Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo, opened in early August to the biggest first week in box office history and became the fastest movie ever to reach $800 million domestically, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Its steep early trajectory has held up better than most blockbusters' typically do past the opening month, with the film still drawing a nine-figure weekend audience deep into its second month of release.
The result has been lucrative beyond the studio itself. Holland's contract for the film reportedly includes box-office bonuses that could push his total earnings from the project past $100 million, according to TheWrap, reflecting how thoroughly the actor's fortunes have become tied to the character he has now played across eight films since 2016. Zendaya and Sadie Sink, both reprising roles from the previous installment, have also seen their profiles rise alongside the franchise's box office run.
What's Next
With roughly $2.5 billion within reach, Brand New Day is now positioned to challenge "Avatar: The Way of Water" for a spot among the handful of films that have crossed that higher threshold without adjusting for inflation — a list that otherwise includes only "Avatar" and "Avengers: Endgame." Sony has not announced a followup, though the studio has treated the Holland-led trilogy's conclusion as a soft relaunch point for the character rather than a hard ending, leaving open the possibility of another Spider-Man film or spinoff built around the current cast.
For now, the film continues its theatrical run against a thinner late-August slate, with awards-season titles and horror sequels beginning to crowd multiplexes in September. Box office analysts expect Brand New Day to remain in the top five through Labor Day weekend, extending a summer that has already restored some of the theatrical business lost during the pandemic-era downturn.
Part of the film's overseas strength traces back to mainland China, where Marvel titles had been effectively shut out by regulators for years — "No Way Home" never opened there after officials balked at the prominence of the Statue of Liberty in its climax. Brand New Day broke that streak, opening July 29 to roughly $121 million in its first five days and climbing past $185 million in the market within three weeks, according to Variety's China box office tracking — a meaningful new revenue stream that earlier entries in the franchise's current run never had access to.
