“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” surpassed $1 billion globally in near-record time.
Sony and Marvel‘s comic book adventure, starring Tom Holland as the web-slinging hero, notched the milestone after six days of release, a mind-boggling pace. Only 2019’s superhero epic “Avengers: Endgame,” which captured a stunning $1.2 billion worldwide in its opening weekend, was faster to the coveted box office benchmark.
“Brand New Day” has earned $407 million in North America after four days of release, becoming the fastest film to surpass $400 million domestically. The movie also delivered the highest-grossing Monday in history with $46 million, besting the record set by 2018’s “Black Panther” with $40 million. Overseas, the newest “Spider-Man” has amassed $645.8 million to date.
Holland’s fourth solo outing as Spider-Man has been defying box office expectations since debuting last weekend to $360 million domestically and $932 million globally. Those stratospheric ticket sales were the biggest domestic debut in box office history, as well as the second-largest global debut of all time. Spidey’s latest venture also secured the best preview haul with $72 million, as well as the highest-grossing opening day with $169.8 million. With euphoric word-of-mouth and minimal competition in the weekends ahead, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” will quickly climb to $2 billion, a metric that only seven other movies have ever achieved, and should rank among the highest-grossing films of all time by the end of its theatrical run.
