Spider-Man: Brand New Day is preparing to spend its sixth consecutive weekend atop the domestic box office, but an even bigger milestone is now within reach.<\/p>\n
The Sony and Marvel blockbuster has crossed $900 million in North America, making it only the second movie in history to reach that mark without adjusting for inflation. It now sits behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which has held the domestic box-office record with approximately $936 million since its 2015 release.<\/p>\n
Current projections have Brand New Day earning roughly $22 million over the four-day Labor Day weekend. If the movie continues performing at its current pace, Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man adventure should soon overtake The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing domestic release of all time.<\/p>\n
Its success extends far beyond North America. Brand New Day has earned more than $2.33 billion worldwide, placing it third on the global box-office chart. Only James Cameron’s Avatar and Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame have earned more internationally. The film recently surpassed Avatar: The Way of Water.<\/p>\n
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Brand New Day has shown remarkable staying power during a relatively quiet closing stretch of the summer movie season. New releases By Any Means and Onslaught are not expected to threaten its position at No. 1.<\/p>\n
Holland could also occupy the top two spots at the box office this weekend. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, which also stars Holland, is projected to finish second with approximately $16.4 million over the extended weekend.<\/p>\n
The Universal epic is expected to reach approximately $588.1 million domestically by Monday as it enters its eighth weekend in theaters.<\/p>\n
Final Labor Day weekend totals will determine how much closer Brand New Day moves toward the domestic record. At this point, however, Spider-Man’s latest box-office victory appears less like a question of whether the record will fall and more like a question of when.<\/p>\n
