It is finally happening. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is standing on Avengers: Endgame‘s doorstep, and the door is already cracking open. As of Sunday night the web-slinger had swung to roughly $855 million at the domestic box office, a whisker behind the $858.4 million that Endgame has guarded as the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s home-turf crown since 2019.
One more day of tickets and that is that. At its current pace, the Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office run erases a roughly $3 million gap before your popcorn goes cold, which means Tom Holland is about to plant a flag no Avenger ever managed to. Yes, not even the entire assembled team from Endgame.
How close is the Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office to Endgame?
Painfully close, in the best way. Sitting around $855 million domestic against Endgame’s $858.4 million lifetime, Brand New Day needs a single ordinary day of sales to pull ahead. When it does, it becomes the second-biggest domestic release in Hollywood history, trailing only Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its $936.7 million. Every other blockbuster ever made will be looking up at Peter Parker.
Read the fine print and it gets sweeter for Sony and Marvel: passing Endgame makes Brand New Day the highest-grossing MCU movie in domestic history, full stop. The film already snatched the biggest opening weekend of all time back in July. Now it is coming for the throne room. We flagged the countdown when it first got within striking distance in our look at how it closed in on Endgame.
Four weekends, four times at number one
Here is the wild part: Brand New Day is not limping to this record on old momentum. It just won its fourth straight weekend with about $39 million, swatting away the new horror launch Insidious 6 and its $25 million bow. Four weekends in release, four number-one finishes, and the Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office is still refusing to hand over the top spot.
What about the worldwide box office?
Globally the film has stormed past $2.22 billion, which per Deadline makes it the second-fastest movie ever to reach the $2 billion mark. Endgame’s $2.7 billion worldwide haul is still safe for the moment, so the King is not fully dethroned on the international stage. But the gap is shrinking week by week, and a strong overseas tail plus the eventual digital and streaming push could keep this chase alive far longer than anyone predicted.
How huge is Spider-Man: Brand New Day in India?
Enormous. Through 25 days the film has pulled in a gross of about Rs 580.27 crore in India, with a nett of roughly Rs 485.35 crore, and the Hindi-dubbed version is still leading the charge at nearly 78.9 percent occupancy on its fourth Sunday. That is the kind of legs that turns a hit into a phenomenon, and it is why we keep hammering the India numbers, from the moment it started doubling its Saturday collections onward.
What happens next
The domestic record is now a formality rather than a question. Watch for the official crossing in the next daily report, at which point Brand New Day is the second-biggest domestic movie ever and the MCU’s new domestic champion. After that, the real fun is what this momentum means heading into Avengers: Doomsday in December: Marvel has just proven, loudly, that the right Spider-Man movie can still eat the whole box office alive.

So here is the question worth arguing about in the comments: now that Spider-Man has passed Endgame at home, does Brand New Day deserve to be called the biggest MCU movie ever, or does Endgame’s worldwide crown still make it the true king? Sound off.
