LOS ANGELES — Tom Holland’s blockbuster vehicle Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially crossed the $900 million threshold at the North American box office, eclipsing Avengers: Endgame to capture the rank of second-highest-grossing film in U.S. domestic history.
The milestone achievement places the Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios co-production alongside Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the only motion pictures ever to clear the $900 million domestic mark. Avengers: Endgame, which held the benchmark since its 2019 release, finished its historic domestic theatrical run with $858.3 million.
Record-Breaking Theatrical Legs
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to a record-shattering $360.1 million in North American theaters, narrowly outpacing Endgame’s historic opening weekend.
- Sustained Audiences: Industry analysts noted that exceptional week-to-week audience retention and strong word-of-mouth propelled the film past the domestic earnings of major franchise tentpoles, including Avatar: The Way of Water and Black Panther.
- Global Footprint: On a global scale, the film’s earnings have climbed past $2.33 billion, positioning it third on the all-time worldwide box office charts behind only the original Avatar and Avengers: Endgame.
Cultural Impact and Studio Response
The runaway success of the film has significantly shifted industry conversations surrounding modern superhero viability, demonstrating sustained audience demand for character-driven narratives anchored to street-level stakes.
Neither Sony Pictures nor Marvel Studios has formally announced plans for a direct theatrical expansion or extended release window, though box office tracking indicates the feature will continue selective engagements as it pursues further milestones before concluding its theatrical run.
