"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has passed "Avengers: Endgame" to become the second-highest-grossing film in North American box office history, a milestone the Marvel and Sony release reached in under four weeks in theaters. As of midweek, the film's domestic total stood at roughly $866 million against Endgame's $858.4 million, according to figures from The Numbers, leaving only 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and its $936.7 million domestic haul ahead of it on the all-time chart.
The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink and Mark Ruffalo, opened July 31 with a $360 million domestic weekend — the biggest opening in box office history, edging out Endgame's 2019 debut. Worldwide, it has now taken in more than $2.2 billion, making it just the eighth film to cross the $2 billion mark globally, a threshold it reached faster than all but one predecessor.
An Unusually Strong August
The film's run has coincided with, and largely driven, a record month at the North American box office. Cumulative domestic grosses for August 2026 have already topped $1.1 billion, well past the previous August record of roughly $1.02 billion set a decade earlier, according to industry tracking cited by trade reports. August is traditionally one of the calendar's softer months for theatrical releases, making the record notable on its own; this year it has been reinforced by strong holdovers and a competitive slate that included "The End of Oak Street" and other counterprogramming.
"Brand New Day" is now in its fifth consecutive weekend at No. 1, a run matched by few films in recent years. Distribution analysts had projected the film to add another $18 million to $25 million domestically over the August 28–30 weekend, even as it faces fresh competition from Ketchup Entertainment's theatrical release of "Coyote vs. Acme" and the horror sequel "Insidious: Out of the Further."
Sony and Marvel Studios have not announced a sequel, but the film's box office performance — and the studio's history of moving quickly on follow-ups to hit Spider-Man films — makes another entry in the rebooted series likely. For now, the film is on pace to approach $900 million domestically before its theatrical run tapers off, a level only "The Force Awakens" has reached in North America since box office records became reliably comparable across the modern multiplex era.
