Spider-Man: Brand New Day has generated massive revenue in North America and worldwide following its release in 2026, challenging Avengers: Endgame in a historic box office race that highlights the unprecedented staying power of Tom Holland’s web-slinging hero.
The box office has a new front-runner in its sights, and the race is coming down to a statistical margin. Tom Holland’s return as Peter Parker in Spider-Man: Brand New Day has pulled ahead in a neck-and-neck domestic chart race with Avengers: Endgame, according to industry tracking figures. As the 38th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and a direct sequel to 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home, the film is performing at an altitude that few modern blockbusters ever reach.
Record-Breaking Opening Numbers and Global Scale
That figure bested Avengers: Endgame and its $357.1 million domestic opening to become the biggest domestic box office opening of all time. The film also recorded a massive $168 million on its first day including previews, comfortably beating the $157.4 million opening day generated by Avengers: Endgame.
Globally, the picture is just as striking. While Avengers: Endgame still holds the highest international opening milestone with $1.223 billion, Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed $1 billion worldwide in roughly a week, marking the second-fastest billion in box office history. The film has since climbed significantly internationally, cementing its place among the highest-grossing pictures ever released.
How No Way Home Built the Foundation
This performance did not materialize in a vacuum. The current triumph is the direct financial payoff of the audience trust rebuilt by Spider-Man: No Way Home, which posted a $260.1 million opening in December 2021 during a period when the previous biggest pandemic-era opening sat at $90 million. Where secondary characters have occasionally suffered from fatigue, the Spider-Man franchise continues to operate by an entirely different set of rules.
IMAX Expansion and International Milestones
The momentum is now extending into premium formats. Cosmicbook announced that Spider-Man: Brand New Day expands across its network in North America, following an overseas IMAX run that brought in $23 million across just three markets: China, Japan, and South Korea.
China delivered $19 million for an IMAX opening weekend record in the franchise.
Where the Summer Box Office Stands Now
Even with the unprecedented box office run of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, the wider summer slate features several historic runs. Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey crossed $395.5 million domestically after 17 days, pushing past $1 billion globally.
The Road Ahead: Records and Projections
With Spider-Man: Brand New Day projected to finish its second weekend with roughly $135 million to $140 million-plus domestically—landing it as the third-biggest second weekend in U.S. history behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($149.2 million) and Avengers: Endgame ($147.3 million)—the trajectory points firmly upward. The film is pacing about 5% ahead of Avengers: Endgame at the same 10-day mark, putting a $500 million-plus domestic final tally well within reach as Peter Parker continues his historic summer run.
