Marvel and Sony’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day is projected to secure its sixth weekend at No. 1 with roughly $22 million over the Labor Day holiday frame. The blockbuster sits at $896.4 million domestically, chasing a historic $900 million milestone and the all-time box office record.
Spider-Man Chases the $900 Million Domestic Mark
Labor Day is traditionally one of the quietest periods on the theatrical calendar, but Peter Parker is refusing to slow down. Spider-Man: Brand New Day should win the four-day holiday weekend with around $22 million.
That performance secures six straight weekends at the top of the box office. According to trade reporting, no film has managed a comparable streak since Avatar: The Way of Water held the No. 1 spot for seven frames in 2022. Destin Daniel Cretton’s sequel sits at $896.4 million domestically and is expected to cross the $900 million threshold this week. Only Star Wars: The Force Awakens achieved that feat in 2015.
Tracking data from Box Office Watch places the North American total at $891.5 million after 31 days in theaters. That figure leaves the film roughly $45.2 million behind the unadjusted all-time domestic record of $936.7 million held by The Force Awakens for over a decade.
Global Standings and the All-Time Chart
Worldwide, the blockbuster has already reshaped the all-time leaderboards. Spider-Man: Brand New Day finished its fifth weekend in theaters as the third-highest-grossing film in cinema history. It surpassed Avatar: The Way of Water’s lifetime global gross of approximately $2.32 billion over the weekend of August 28–30, 2026.
The global top tier now features Avatar at No. 1 with approximately $2.92 billion from 2009, followed by Avengers: Endgame at No. 2 with approximately $2.79 billion from 2019. Brand New Day sits at No. 3 with over $2.33 billion and continues to accumulate ticket sales. Ne Zha 2 at $2.27 billion and Titanic at $2.26 billion round out the top five.
While passing Avatar: The Way of Water was accomplished in just 31 days, analysts note that closing the gap to Avengers: Endgame or James Cameron’s original Avatar remains a steep climb. Endgame sits about $460 million ahead, a margin requiring sustained theatrical demand well beyond modern precedent for a film this late in its run.
Holiday Weekend Competition and Holdovers
Beyond the Marvel juggernaut, the early-September slate features several steady holdovers and new arrivals capitalizing on the back-to-school calendar shift. The Odyssey holds onto second place with about $15 million in its eighth weekend. Christopher Nolan’s epic fell only 27 percent last weekend to $14.4 million, bringing its domestic total to $568 million as it approaches The Super Mario Bros. Movie at $574.9 million for 18th place all-time.
Ketchup Entertainment’s rescue of the shelved Looney Tunes feature Coyote vs. Acme lands in third place with roughly $14 million. The film opened to $15.9 million — marking the biggest debut in the distributor’s history — and earned an A
CinemaScore from audiences. Meanwhile, the Sony and Blumhouse sequel Insidious: Out of the Further targets fourth place with about $7 million, bringing its domestic total to $46 million heading into its third weekend.
Disney and Pixar are also re-releasing the 2006 original Cars for its 20th anniversary, pulling in around $6 million over the long weekend to round out the top five.
What Lies Ahead for the Box Office
The current theatrical momentum faces a definitive ceiling next weekend. Spider-Man: Brand New Day will see its consecutive No. 1 streak conclude when Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman arrive with Practical Magic 2. Whether Peter Parker can outpace The Force Awakens to claim the ultimate domestic crown before then depends entirely on how strongly ticket sales hold through the final days of the holiday frame.
