Six weekends. One No. 1. And a domestic total that has Hollywood staring at a number once thought untouchable.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now cleared roughly $923–925 million in North America after another Labor Day haul, leaving it only about $12–13 million behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.6 million), the long-standing domestic champion. Box-office trackers widely expect the Marvel adventure to claim the crown within days.
That staying power is the real story. Few modern blockbusters still own the weekend chart this deep into their run. Brand New Day has matched rare company — joining No Way Home and the first two Avatar films as titles that held No. 1 for six straight weeks — while also posting one of the fastest climbs to $900 million domestically.
Worldwide, the picture is equally enormous: about $2.4 billion, currently third all-time behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame. Even if the global crown stays out of reach, the domestic record would be a defining milestone for the franchise and for 2026’s theatrical year.
Competition is finally circling. Next week brings Practical Magic 2 with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman, plus Paul Greengrass’s The Uprising — the first serious challengers tipped to end Spidey’s reign at the top. Until then, every evening screening still feels like history in slow motion.
For fans, the vibe is pure popcorn catharsis: a summer tentpole that refused to fade when the calendar flipped to September. If the projections hold, Brand New Day will not just beat a record — it will rewrite what “legs” look like in the streaming era.
