Sony/Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to do whatever a Spider-Man movies does, and that’s breaking more box office records. Today, the Destin Daniel Cretton directed movie is becoming the fastest to cross 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 back in 2019 to cross that threshold.
The Tom Holland-Zendaya starring movie becomes the 23rd movie at the North American box office to gross north of $500M, a list that’s led by 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens with $936.6M.
Previously, it took Force Awakens ten days to pass a half billion stateside, while the previous Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021 took 12 days to hit that mark.
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 sold out seats 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.
Yesterday, Brand New Day grossed $32.7M, becoming the second-best Wednesday ever for a non-opening title behind Force Awakens‘ $38M Wednesday on Dec. 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 come close to hitting). That benchmark is currently 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, Supertroopers 3.
