Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to do whatever a Spider-Man movie does, and that’s breaking more box office records. Today, the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed movie is becoming the fastest to cross a half-billion at the domestic box office, pulling this off in a week’s time and beating the eight days that it took Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame to cross that threshold back in 2019.
The Tom Holland-Zendaya starrer becomes the 23rd movie to gross north of $500M at the North American box office, a list that’s led by 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens with $936.6M. It took Force Awakens 10 days to pass a half-billion Stateside, while the previous Spidey flick, Spider-Man: No Way Home, took 12 days to hit that mark in 2021.

Today, Brand New Day is looking at around $27M or more in U.S./Canada. Note, Imax auditoriums, which weren’t part of Brand New Day‘s opening suite, finally get to project the sequel in a co-share with Universal’s The Odyssey (which continues to have reported near-sellouts in major Imax markets into October). Spidey will hold onto to all the PLFs this weekend. After today, the running cume for Brand New Day will stand at an estimated $508.8M.
On Wednesday, Brand New Day grossed $32.7M, becoming the second-best Wednesday ever for a non-opening title behind Force Awakens‘ $38M on December 23, 2015.
This weekend, it’s essentially counterprogramming going up against the second frame of Brand New Day, which could clock a sophomore-frame record or at least come close. That benchmark is owned by Force Awakens’ second weekend of $149.2M. Previews tonight include Universal’s romantic comedy One Night Only, Horror Section’s Ice Cream Man from Eli Roth and Searchlight’s R-rated comedy, Super Troopers 3.
