\n\tSpider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> keeps swinging to new box office<\/a> heights.<\/p>\n

\n\tSony Pictures<\/a>\u2018 superhero blockbuster has now soared to become the No. 2 highest-grossing film ever domestically with $858.4 million, surpassing the $858.3 million for 2019\u2019s Avengers: Endgame<\/a>. The title to beat on the all-time North American chart remains 2015\u2019s Star Wars<\/a>: Episode VII \u2014 The Force Awakens, standing strong at $936.6 million. This follows the news last week that Brand New Day had become the fastest movie to hit $800 million<\/a> domestically, doing so in 19 days.<\/p>\n

\n\tOver the weekend<\/a>, the Tom Holland<\/a>-led film that hails from Marvel Studios had surpassed 2021\u2019s\u00a0Spider-Man: No Way Home<\/a>\u00a0to briefly occupy the No. 3 spot on the all-time domestic box office chart. This also placed\u00a0Brand New Day\u00a0as Sony\u2019s highest-grossing domestic film after it\u00a0set the record over the previous weekend<\/a>\u00a0for the top global release in the studio\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs of Sunday, Brand New Day\u00a0claimed the No. 6 spot on the all-time worldwide box office rankings with $2.22 billion, moving past The Force Awakens with $2.07 billion. Any day now, the latest Spidey movie is expected to overtake Titanic, which currently holds No. 5 with $2.26 billion globally, while Chinese animated fantasy feature Ne Zha 2\u00a0looms nearby at No. 4 with $2.27 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\tZendaya<\/a>, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal also star in\u00a0Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton\u2019s movie approaching its fifth weekend of release after launching in theaters July 31. Its record-breaking run has included surpassing\u00a0Endgame\u00a0for the biggest domestic opening weekend ever with $360 million. It went on to earn the\u00a0highest-grossing first week<\/a>\u00a0in domestic box office history and become the second-fastest film (after\u00a0Endgame)\u00a0to reach $1 billion globally<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the new offerings hitting theaters this weekend are Ridley Scott\u2019s The Dog Stars, starring Jacob Elordi; the resurrected Coyote vs. Acme<\/a>; and the horror-comedy flick Buddy.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrand New Day has helped 2026\u2019s box office standing overall. As of Sunday, the 2026 domestic box office has crossed the $7 billion mark, according to Rentrak, putting the year 20.4 percent above 2025\u2019s returns. Additionally, this summer\u2019s titles combine for an estimated $4.444 billion domestically as of Sunday to come in 25.5 percent above last year\u2019s tally to that point, with the all-time summer mark remaining 2013\u2019s $4.75 billion.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked about the film\u00a0succeeding amid apparent superhero fatigue<\/a>\u00a0for other recent titles, given that this summer\u2019s Supergirl\u00a0was among those to have underperformed, Sony Pictures chief\u00a0Tom Rothman<\/a>\u00a0told\u00a0The Hollywood Reporter that he didn\u2019t see this as a concern. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe press talks a lot about that, but right now, on anything, the theatrical audience demands greatness,\u201d Rothman said. \u201cIf it\u2019s only OK, they can stay home and see \u2018only OK\u2019 all day long on television. If we\u2019re going to ask them make a trip out of it, it\u2019s got to be great. The answer is as simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spider-Man: Brand New Day keeps swinging to new box office heights.
