Peter Parker is not finished rewriting the record books. The Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office just locked in a fourth straight weekend at number one, and it is now breathing right down the neck of the biggest superhero movie ever made.
Another $39 million landed in the tin over the fourth frame in North America, easily swatting away a fresh horror opening to keep the crown for a fourth weekend running. That pushes Tom Holland’s blockbuster to roughly $855 million domestic, making it only the fourth film in history to cross $800 million on home soil.
Stack that on top of a worldwide haul of about $2.2 billion and you get a movie that has quietly climbed to number six on the all-time global chart. Not bad for a Spider-Man film that some fans wrote off as a soft reboot before it ever hit theatres.
How big was the fourth weekend?
Huge, and here is why it matters. Fourth weekends are usually where blockbusters start bleeding out, dropping fast as the crowds thin. Instead the Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office held firm, brushing off Insidious: Out of the Further, which opened to a solid $25.3 million and still could not get anywhere near it.
| Fourth weekend (US, Aug 21 to 23) | Weekend gross |
|---|---|
| Spider-Man: Brand New Day | $39.0M |
| Insidious: Out of the Further | $25.3M |
| The Odyssey | $19.5M |
| The End of Oak Street | ~$9M |
| PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie | ~$9M |
That is four weekends, four wins. If you have been keeping score at home, we already flagged the streak when it made it four number one weekends in a row, and the actuals have now confirmed the four-peat is real.
Is Spider-Man about to pass Avengers: Endgame?
This is the number every Marvel fan is watching. Domestically, Avengers: Endgame sits at $858 million. Brand New Day is at roughly $855 million. Do the math and Peter Parker is on track to swing past the Russo Brothers’ crossover in the US as soon as next weekend, leaving only a handful of titles ahead of him with Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million) next in the crosshairs.
There is a lovely bit of symmetry there, because this same Spider-Man is heading straight into the Russos’ next epic. If you want the full picture of where Peter goes from here, our complete Avengers: Doomsday guide lays out how the wall-crawler fits into the multiverse showdown that closes out the Saga.
Globally, the film crossed $2 billion in just six days, a run we broke down when it neared $2.1 billion worldwide. It has kept climbing since, and $2.2 billion now puts it inside the all-time global top six, rubbing shoulders with the likes of Infinity War and The Force Awakens.
What is the Spider-Man Brand New Day box office in India?
India has been a monster market for this one. The film sits at around ₹575 crore gross after 24 days, with the fourth Saturday pulling in roughly ₹4.44 crore as it settles into a long, steady tail. We tracked the run in detail when it topped 575 crore in India, and it remains one of the biggest Hollywood releases the country has ever seen. For the full milestone timeline, our Spider-Man: Brand New Day hub keeps every record in one place.
What happens next
The next domestic milestone is the big one: passing Avengers: Endgame in North America, which should fall within days. After that, eyes turn to the digital and home-release date, the inevitable deleted scenes, and how this monster run sets the table for Holland’s Spidey in Avengers: Doomsday. A Spider-Man movie outgrossing an Avengers movie on its way into an Avengers movie is exactly the kind of full-circle chaos this fandom lives for.
So here is the question worth arguing about in the comments: does Brand New Day deserve to sit above Endgame in the record books, or is an Avengers-level crossover always going to mean more? Tell us where you land.
