Spider-Man: Brand New Day Passes $2 Billion Worldwide
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed $2 billion worldwide, becoming only the eighth film ever and the second-fastest to reach the milestone.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed $2 billion worldwide, becoming only the eighth film in history to reach the milestone and the second-fastest to get there.
According to Sunday box-office estimates, Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man film has reached approximately $2.022 billion globally, including $785.8 million in the U.S. and Canada and $1.236 billion internationally.
The Associated Press says Brand New Day reached $2 billion in about 18 days. Only Avengers: Endgame did it faster, hitting the mark in 11 days in 2019.
Still No. 1
The Sony Pictures release stayed at the top of the North American box office for a third consecutive weekend, adding an estimated $70 million.
That pushed its domestic total to $785.8 million, currently the fourth-highest domestic gross ever without adjusting for inflation. Deadline reports that the $70 million haul is also the second-biggest third weekend in domestic box-office history, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
International markets added another $118.7 million during the weekend, helping push the film beyond the $2 billion barrier.
A New Spider-Man Record
The milestone takes Brand New Day past Spider-Man: No Way Home, which finished above $1.9 billion, making Brand New Day the highest-grossing Spider-Man movie to date and Sony’s biggest worldwide release.
Its record run started immediately. Sony’s final opening-weekend figures put the film at approximately $360.1 million domestically, narrowly beating Avengers: Endgame’s previous unadjusted opening record.
The numbers are still moving. Sunday’s totals are studio estimates, and final weekend figures are expected Monday, so the exact $2.022 billion total may shift slightly.
