'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' Hits No. 1 on All-Time Domestic Chart, Topping 'Force Awakens'

It's official: Spider-Man is now the king of the North American box office.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed $936.7 million domestically, surpassing Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing domestic release in history. The record fell on the film's 47th day in theaters.

The Force Awakens had held the record since 2015, when it grossed $936.6 million during its original run and subsequent re-releases. For over a decade, it seemed untouchable. Now, it isn't.

A Record-Breaking Run

The milestone was not a surprise. Brand New Day has been shattering records since its debut:

• Opening weekend: $360 million domestic — the biggest of all time
• $900 million mark: Reached in just 36 days, compared to 50 days for The Force Awakens
• $1 billion global: Crossed in six days, the second-fastest in history

The film's domestic total now stands at $936.7 million and continues to climb. Industry analysts project a final domestic gross between **$960 million and $1 billion**, though reaching the ten-digit milestone without a re-release remains a long shot.

Global Dominance

Internationally, Brand New Day has grossed **$2.4 billion** worldwide, ranking as the **third-highest global release of all time**, behind only *Avatar* ($2.9 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion).

It is also Sony Pictures' highest-grossing film ever, and has set opening-weekend records in 56 international markets.

Audience and Critical Acclaim

The box office success is matched by overwhelming audience approval. The film holds a 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes — the highest for any Marvel Cinematic Universe film and the highest for any Spider-Man movie. Critics were nearly as enthusiastic, giving it a 91% Certified Fresh rating, with the consensus praising its balance of "spectacular set pieces and mature emotional stakes."

What's Next

The question now is whether Brand New Day can become the first film ever to cross $1 billion domestically. Without a re-release or expansion, most analysts consider that unlikely. But given the film's unprecedented trajectory, nothing seems entirely off the table.

Globally, the film is expected to finish between $2.5 billion and $2.7 billion.

For now, Spider-Man stands alone at the top of the domestic chart — a position no film has held since 2015, and one that may stand for years to come.
