Sony and Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day
has surpassed $700 million at the domestic box office in just 13 days of release, breaking records as the fastest film to reach the milestone in North America while driving global ticket sales past $1.8 billion by August 2026.
The wall-crawling blockbuster continues to smash box office records during its theatrical run, crossing the $700 million domestic threshold on Wednesday, August 12, 2026. According to industry reporting, the comic book adventure reached the benchmark faster than any previous film in cinema history, beating the previous record held jointly by 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens
and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame,
which both hit the milestone in 16 days.
Record-Breaking U.S. Box Office Numbers and Chart Rankings
Starring Tom Holland as the signature Marvel hero, Spider-Man: Brand New Day
has surpassed $700 million in domestic ticket sales, reaching a North American sum of $704.5 million. The feature currently stands at No. 7 on the all-time domestic box office chart after opening in theaters on July 31, 2026, though alternative tracking lists rank it at No. 6. The elite club of films to cross $700 million domestically now includes only seven titles in history.
- Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) – $936.6 million
- Avengers: Endgame (2019) – $858.3 million
- Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) – $814.8 million
- Avatar (2009) – $785.2 million
- Top Gun: Maverick – $722 million
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026) – $704.5 million and counting
- Black Panther (2018) – $700.0 million to $700.4 million depending on the tracking source
Data compiled across trade publications shows that Brand New Day with $704.5M in North America is running 31% ahead of Spider-Man: No Way Home at the exact same point in its respective theatrical window. The film’s historic box office run kicked off with a record-breaking domestic opening weekend of $355 million to $360 million, followed by the highest-grossing first week in domestic box office history.
International Milestones and Sony Records
Overseas audiences have driven the worldwide cumulative total to $1.8105 billion. Internationally, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has added $1.108 billion to leap past Spider-Man: No Way Home, which finished its overseas run at $1.106 billion. This performance makes the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed adventure Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever overseas, as well as the 10th highest-grossing feature internationally of all time.
Top-performing international territories span the globe, led by China ($197.6M), United Kingdom ($95.4M), Mexico ($70.8M), France (56.0M), India ($55.7M), Brazil ($52.0M), South Korea ($46.7M), Germany ($42.4M), Australia ($42.1M) and Italy ($34.1M).
Studio Response and Competitive Summer Landscape
Carrying a $225 million production budget, the movie pairs Tom Holland’s Peter Parker with Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Jon Bernthal under producer Amy Pascal and Marvel Studios.
The massive returns for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, alongside fellow recent box office hits like The Odyssey
and Toy Story 5,
helped push the 2026 summer box office past the $4 billion mark. Industry analysts note this represents only the second time the prime moviegoing season has achieved this milestone since the COVID-19 pandemic, following the summer of 2023.
Third Weekend Projections and Future Box Office Milestones
As the film heads into its third weekend in theaters, box office trackers project Spider-Man: Brand New Day will remain at No. 1 with an estimated domestic haul between $57 million and $72 million. New releases entering the marketplace include Warner Bros.’ The End of Oak Street,
starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, and Paramount Animation’s PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie,
neither of which is expected to threaten the superhero film’s box office dominance.
With minimal major competition remaining through the rest of the summer, box office watchers suggest the feature could eventually challenge Star Wars: The Force Awakens
for the all-time North American record, or potentially become the first movie in history to reach $1 billion domestically.
