Spider-Man: Brand New Day is about to make box office history that even James Cameron couldn’t stop. The Sony/Marvel blockbuster stands on the verge of overtaking one of Cameron’s biggest films on two all-time records.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day to become the third biggest movie at box office
Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day sits less than $10 million away from $900 million domestically, according to Deadline. The film earned $22.2 million in its fifth weekend, bringing its running domestic total to $891.5 million. It currently ranks fourth on the all-time worldwide box office chart with $2.33 billion globally.
The superhero sequel needs approximately $45 million more domestically to surpass Avatar: The Way of Water’s $688 million and claim third place on the all-time worldwide grosses list. Avatar: The Way of Water holds the number three spot with $2.33 billion worldwide, putting the two films roughly $2 million apart. Ne Zha 2 sits at number five with $2.27 billion, while Titanic holds sixth place at $2.26 billion.
Brand New Day already stands as the highest-grossing Spider-Man film ever, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home’s $1.92 billion worldwide. The film’s domestic total currently runs 5% ahead of Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the same point in its release, per Deadline. That 2015 film finished its domestic run at $936.6 million and remains the only title to cross the $900 million domestic milestone.
The film opened to $360 million domestically across 4,487 theaters on July 31. It has maintained the number one domestic position for five consecutive weekends. The fifth-weekend hold of $22.2 million represents a 43% drop from the previous frame.
Brand New Day also generates 38.2% of its worldwide gross domestically and 61.8% internationally. The international total stands at $1.44 billion. Only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, and Avatar: The Way of Water rank higher on the all-time worldwide chart.
