AceShowbiz - Spider-Man: Brand New Day has overtaken Avatar: The Way of Water to become the third highest-grossing film worldwide, crossing the $2.33 billion mark after its fifth weekend in theaters.

The film earned approximately $22.2 million domestically over the weekend of August 28–30, marking its fifth consecutive weekend as the top movie in North America. Its total domestic haul has reached around $891.5 million, edging closer to the unadjusted North American record held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which earned $936.7 million. Globally, it has surpassed the lifetime grosses of Titanic and Ne Zha 2, securing its place as the third biggest box office hit ever, just ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water, which finished its theatrical run with about $2.32 billion.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day was released in July 2026 and rapidly climbed box office charts, becoming the eighth film to cross $2 billion worldwide and the second-fastest to do so after Avengers: Endgame. It now holds the record as the highest-grossing Spider-Man film, surpassing the $1.9 billion total of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film also continues to receive critical acclaim and has won major awards, highlighting its success beyond just the box office.

This milestone not only cements Spider-Man: Brand New Day as a global blockbuster but also signals a new era for superhero cinema’s commercial reach. With less than $50 million needed to break the domestic record and potentially become the first film to gross $1 billion in North America, the film is poised to redefine box office benchmarks in the coming weeks.
