Status: Confirmed. All figures below come from studio-reported grosses via The Numbers, Sacnilk and the trades, linked at the end.
The Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office run has officially gone from “great” to “we’re rewriting the record books now.” Through Thursday, Tom Holland’s fourth solo outing is sitting at a staggering $2.078 billion worldwide, per The Numbers, and it enters its fourth weekend with a very real shot at a fourth straight No. 1.
Let that sink in for a second. Three weeks ago the question was whether Brand New Day could out-open No Way Home. Now the only movies still ahead of it on the all-time list have the words Avatar, Avengers or Titanic in the title.
How big is the Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office right now?
The split is $815.9 million domestic and $1.262 billion from everywhere else. The film blew past $2 billion worldwide in just 17 days, which Variety notes is the second-fastest sprint to that number in history. Only Avengers: Endgame, which did it in 11 days, got there quicker.
It also makes Brand New Day just the eighth film ever to cross $2 billion, per Forbes, a club so exclusive that Marvel Studios itself only had two members before this. And with $2.078 billion in the bank, it is now neck and neck with Star Wars: The Force Awakens for a spot in the all-time top five. That fight will be settled this weekend.
Can Brand New Day grab a fourth straight weekend at No. 1?
The dailies say yes. After a $71 million third weekend, the weekdays held beautifully: $7.5 million Monday, a $9.9 million discount-day Tuesday, $6.5 million Wednesday and $5.5 million Thursday in North America. Those are the kind of mid-run holds that made No Way Home a $1.9 billion movie, and Brand New Day already left that number behind.
Nothing opening this weekend looks capable of taking the crown, which is exactly the scenario we flagged when we wrote that the film was eyeing a fourth weekend at No. 1. Four straight weekends on top is rare air for any blockbuster in the modern release calendar, and that’s the streak to watch on Sunday.
India is still showing up for Spider-Man
The India story keeps being one of the most remarkable parts of this run. Per Sacnilk, day 22 added another ₹1.75 crore net, taking the India total to ₹475.40 crore net (about ₹568 crore gross) in three weeks, the record-shattering Hollywood run we broke down when it set the India record.
The detail we love: the Hindi version is still running at 42 percent occupancy on a Thursday, four weeks in. That is not a blockbuster winding down, that is a film that has become the default night out.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office scorecard
| Milestone | Number |
|---|---|
| Worldwide total (through day 21) | $2.078 billion |
| Domestic (US/Canada) | $815.9 million |
| International | $1.262 billion |
| Days to $2 billion | 17 (2nd fastest ever) |
| India net total (22 days) | ₹475.40 crore |
| Third weekend (domestic) | $71 million, No. 1 |
What happens next
Endgame’s $2.80 billion crown is probably safe, that would need another $700 million and change. But Titanic at $2.26 billion and Avatar: The Way of Water at $2.32 billion are suddenly conversations we get to have with a straight face, especially with zero blockbuster competition until October.
The bigger picture: every dollar here raises the temperature for Avengers: Doomsday in December, and Marvel knows it. Disney has already said this run “bodes well” for Doomsday, and with the marketing ramp about to kick into gear, Sony and Marvel will happily keep this thing in theaters as the world’s most profitable billboard. A Spider-Man this beloved walking into the Doomsday and Secret Wars story is exactly why those December stakes feel enormous.
So, the weekend question: does Brand New Day pass The Force Awakens and lock up four weekends at No. 1, or does the drop finally arrive? Call your number in the comments, closest guess to Sunday’s total gets bragging rights.
