If Spider-Man<\/a>, Woody<\/a>, and Odysseus<\/a> are walking into your movie theater, get ready for a profitable summer. This year, the summer box office is hitting a new high of $4.76 billion and is nearly beating another summer box office record that\u2019s been untouched for over a decade. This year\u2019s summer b.o. officially surpassed the 2013 domestic summer b.o. record of $4.755 billion, per Variety<\/a>. The 2013 big b.o. heavy hitters include Iron Man 3, Despicable Me 2, and Man of Steel.<\/p>\n

But if there was one top dog at the cinema this summer, it\u2019s Spider-Man: Brand New Day. The film has earned its sixth week at the top of the box office, bringing in $923 million since its release and nearing a billion dollars. Spidey and friends are also $13 million away from becoming the highest total domestic box office, a record currently held by\u00a0Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens\u00a0\u2014 again, another decade-long record about to be broken. Never underestimate the power of Peter Parker.<\/p>\n
