Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed $1.05 billion globally in its first six days, reaching the milestone as the second-fastest film in box office history behind only Avengers: Endgame, according to Sony Pictures.
Box Office Records and Domestic Opening Totals
Sony Pictures announced Tuesday that the superhero blockbuster starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Sadie Sink collected $1.05 billion worldwide during its initial six-day run. The film trails only Avengers: Endgame, which secured $1.2 billion globally during its opening weekend in April 2019, according to studio data.
After tracking neck-and-neck for the top domestic opening weekend in history, Sony confirmed that Brand New Day ultimately swung ahead with a $360 million domestic haul. That figure pushed Avengers: Endgame and its $357.1 million domestic opening down to second place, though Endgame maintained the higher global opening total at $932 million compared to Spidey’s global launch figure.
Production Budget and Studio Milestones
The feature hails from producers Marvel Studios and Amy Pascal, with Destin Daniel Cretton directing a production carrying a $225 million budget. Alongside its historic domestic bow, the release set records for the biggest Thursday previews and top Friday opening domestic sums, while also marking Sony’s best-ever launch.
Did you know? Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth 2026 release to cross the ten-figure threshold, following The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Michael, and Toy Story 5, with The Odyssey tracking closely behind.
Audience Reception and Industry Impact
Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman told The Hollywood Reporter that the biggest win for him was that audiences had been responding favorably to Brand New Day. The movie earned an A CinemaScore and holds a 98 audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
“All the geniuses who said that theatrical movies were dead, they’re not necessarily right,” Rothman said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Actually, the theatrical marketplace is booming right now, and I’m excited about it. So I’m very optimistic.”
Driven by this performance, Imax announced a schedule adjustment to split screens between Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey. The box office run supplies Marvel Studios with renewed momentum ahead of the December release of Avengers: Doomsday, which will not screen on Imax during its debut.
Future Weekend Competition
Sony anticipates that the feature will sustain momentum through the end of the summer season. The upcoming second weekend introduces fresh box office competition from wide releases including One Night Only, Super Troopers 3, and Ice Cream Man.
