• Historic Global Velocity: Sony and Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day generated a massive $381 million globally in its second weekend, pushing its worldwide total to $1.67 billion.
• Domestic Record Breaker: With $655 million in North America, the web-slinger has officially pulled in more cash in its first 10 days than any film in domestic box office history (unadjusted for inflation).
• Targeting the Crown: The blockbuster is now pacing to become the first film ever to cross $1 billion domestically, taking aim at Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million).
• China Box Office Surge: Standing at $186 million in China, it is on track to join the top 10 highest-grossing Hollywood releases of all time in the region.

Sony and Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day is proving completely unstoppable at the global box office. The wall-crawler’s latest cinematic entry racked up an astonishing $145 million domestically and $381 million worldwide in its second weekend alone, flying past expectations to bring its cumulative global total to a mind-boggling $1.67 billion.

Sitting at $655 million across the U.S. and Canada, the film has officially grossed more money in its first 10 days of theatrical release than any other movie in domestic box office history before inflation adjustments. Industry analysts now project Brand New Day to become the first film in history to smash through the $1 billion domestic milestone, putting the long-standing North American record of $936 million—held by 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens—directly in its sights.

International Momentum & China Domination

The web-slinger isn’t just dominating North America; international markets are putting up massive numbers. The film continues to tear through theaters in China, pulling in $186 million to date. That trajectory puts Brand New Day on pace to crack China’s top 10 highest-grossing Hollywood releases of all time.

Breaking into that elite tier in China has become notoriously difficult for Western blockbusters in recent years. The current post-pandemic roster includes only two Hollywood hits: Avatar: The Way of Water ($245.9 million) and current record-holder Zootopia 2 ($651.9 million). With momentum showing no signs of slowing down, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is firmly cementing itself as a once-in-a-generation box office event.

Our Review

”In his review of the film, Decked Out Editor, Ryan Smith, writes, “Holland is the reason the emotional side holds. He plays Peter as a man in worse shape than the script actually writes him, and the gap between those two things is where the performance sits. It’s the best work he’s done in the suit, and the first time the damage has been the whole performance rather than the bits between the jokes. Sadie Sink is the standout of the whole film, and she’s carrying the hardest part of it. She’s playing grief rather than menace. There’s a version of this character that’s all glowing eyes and portent, and she never once reaches for it. Zendaya has less to do than in any of the previous three, and does something quite difficult with it: MJ has to be warm towards a man she’s meeting for the first time, and you can see the whole history she isn’t having.”
