“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” continues to explode at the box office, having now reached $705M domestically and about $1.8 billion worldwide after only two weekends. It is the fastest film ever to reach the $700M domestic milestone.
That puts ‘Brand New Day’ in an extremely exclusive club: just seven movies have ever crossed $700M in North America.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936M)
“Avengers: Endgame" ($858M)
"Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($814M)
"Avatar" ($785M)
"Top Gun: Maverick" ($721M)
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” ($705M)
"Black Panther" ($700M)
The big question now is whether ‘Brand New Day’ can climb all the way to the domestic record. A $800M domestic total could arrive by this weekend, with Endgame’s $858M potentially within reach shortly afterward.
With strong audience scores, and relatively little summer competition, some are even entertaining the possibility of ‘Brand New Day’ becoming the first $1 billion domestic movie and, in an extreme scenario, the first $3 billion worldwide blockbuster, potentially challenging the current global leader “Avatar” ($2.9B). I’m not so sure about that.
I do think the film will hit $900M domestically, and possibly challenge ‘The Force Awakens.’ The worldwide $1.8 billion figure is also hinting at a 2.7 billion finish. Either way, ‘Brand New Day’ is already performing at a historic level, and its next few weekends will determine just how high Spidey can climb.
It’s been seven years since Alma Har’el’s feature debut, “Honey Boy,” which was written by and starred Shia LaBeouf — she is now set to direct her next film, with a very talented cast.
