Los Angeles, CA – Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still soaring to new box office heights. Sony Pictures’ spectacularly successful superhero blockbuster has become the highest-grossing title on the all-time North American chart with $936.773 million. The new domestic champion hit the top spot after 47 days of release, surpassing the previous record of $936.6 million for 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens. The film’s historic run has included becoming the fastest feature to hit every major domestic milestone, from $400 million through $900 million. Additionally, it stands at No. 3 on the all-time global chart, behind overall leader Avatar and second-place title Avengers: Endgame.
“Doesn’t get bigger than this,” read a message posted to the film’s official Instagram account. “Thank you to the fans for helping #SpiderManBrandNewDay make cinematic history — it’s now the highest-grossing domestic release of ALL TIME at the North American box office.” Hailing from producers Marvel Studios and Amy Pascal, Brand New Day centers on Tom Holland’s Spider-Man as he endures a lonely existence before an unseen foe tracks him down. Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Jon Bernthal also star, with filmmaker Destin Daniel Cretton’s movie approaching its eighth weekend of release after launching in theaters July 31.
The movie’s record-breaking run has included surpassing Endgame for the biggest domestic opening weekend ever with $360 million. It went on to earn the highest-grossing first week in domestic box office history and become the second-fastest film (after *Endgame*) to reach $1 billion globally.

Brand New Day helped make this the highest-grossing summer ever at the global box office with a sum of $4.765 billion, topping the previous record from 2013. Shortly after the film hit theaters, Sony Pictures film chief Tom Rothman spoke to THR about the challenge of following 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. “The strategic decision was—rather than trying what we all thought would be perhaps an empty effort of going quote, unquote bigger—we just went deeper,” Rothman explained. “That was a very conscious choice to focus on how we could make the audience feel.”
