Tom Holland-starrer Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed the $1 billion mark at the global box office just six days after its theatrical release, becoming the second-fastest film in history to reach the milestone.
Sony Pictures said on August 4 that the latest instalment in the Spider-Man franchise had grossed around $1.05 billion worldwide in its first six days.
The film trails only Avengers: Endgame, which earned about $1.2 billion during its opening weekend in 2019.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has also broken several box-office records. It earned $360 million domestically during its opening weekend, surpassing Avengers: Endgame’s $357.1 million to claim the biggest domestic opening weekend in history.
However, Endgame still holds the record for the biggest global opening weekend, with $1.2 billion.
The new Spider-Man film also recorded the biggest Thursday preview, the highest Friday opening and the largest launch in Sony Pictures’ history.
Produced by Marvel Studios and Amy Pascal with a reported budget of $225 million, the film is the fourth movie released in 2026 to cross $1 billion worldwide.
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Michael and Toy Story 5 have also reached the milestone this year. Meanwhile, The Odyssey has surpassed $900 million globally and is approaching the $1 billion mark.
Following the film’s strong performance, IMAX has revised its screening schedule to share screens between Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey.
The superhero film enters its second weekend with expectations of continued strong business despite competition from new releases including One Night Only, Super Troopers 3 and Ice Cream Man.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released on July 30. Holland returns as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, with Zendaya, Jon Bernthal, Jacob Batalon, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo also starring.
Robert Downey Jr. returns to the Marvel universe as Doctor Doom, while new additions include Sadie Sink, Tramell Tillman, Liza Colón-Zayas and Marvin Jones II.
