Spider-Man: Brand New Day Becomes Highest-Grossing Film in North America

The $936.773 million domestic tally hands Sony and Marvel new commercial leverage while a planned Endgame re-release could still reshuffle the rankings.

Overview

  • On Sept. 16 the film reached $936.773 million in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales after 47 days in theaters, surpassing Star Wars: The Force Awakens for the domestic record.
  • Globally the movie sits at about $2.45 billion, placing it third on the all-time worldwide list behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame.
  • The run was powered by a record $360 million opening, heavy presales, wide allocation to premium formats such as IMAX, and unusually strong weekday holds that boosted unadjusted grosses.
  • Studios and peers publicly celebrated the milestone — Sony thanked fans and Lucasfilm congratulated the team — but Sony has not formally announced a fifth Spider-Man film.
  • Analysts caution the record uses unadjusted dollars so higher ticket prices and premium formats inflate totals, and Disney’s planned re-release of Endgame could add to that film’s tally and change the short-term rankings.
