EXCLUSIVE: And the records just keep on comin’.
Sony/Marvel Studio’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to be rare air at the domestic box office, crossing the $800M mark later today, and becoming the fastest movie ever to that number. The Destin Daniel Cretton directed movie pulls off this feat in a record 19 days, which beats the previous fastest pic to $800M, 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which crossed in 23 days per Box Office Mojo.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day becomes the fourth movie to cross $800M, and the second ever for Zendaya, and the third for Tom Holland. The previous three movies to cross $800M at the B.O. are Star Wars: Force Awakens (final domestic $936.6M), Avengers: Endgame (crossed in 32 days; final domestic $858.3M, co-starred Holland) and Holland-Zendaya’s Spider-Man: No Way Home (crossed in 100 days; final domestic $804.7M).
Brand New Day‘s third Tuesday is expected to be around $9M per sources. The pic has around $4.5M in raw gross right now in Rentrak, so that daily outlook makes sense. Through yesterday, Brand New Day counted a running cume of $794M after a $7.5M Monday.
Force Awakens is the only movie to cross $900M and did so in 50 days.
This weekend despite the onslaught of Sony/Blumhouse/Atomic Monster’s own Insidious: Out the Further ($23M-$27M forecasted opening), Vertical’s The Magic Faraway Tree and Lionsgate’s Jason Statham title Mutiny, Brand New Day will definitely lead the weekend in its fourth frame with an estimated -50% hold or $35M.
The best fourth weekend at the domestic B.O. for a movie belongs to Warner Bros’ American Sniper at $89.3M, however, that’s because that pic went wide in its fourth sesh after a limited release. After American Sniper, Avatar has the next best fourth weekend at the B.O. with $50.3M.
