Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man adventure continues its extraordinary theatrical run, becoming the fastest movie ever to reach $500 million at the North American box office.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is officially rewriting the box-office record books.
The latest installment starring Tom Holland has earned more than $500 million in the United States and Canada within its first seven days, giving the Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios release the biggest first-week domestic performance in movie history. The milestone was confirmed as the film completed its first week in theaters. (Los Angeles Times)
The achievement adds another major record to an already remarkable theatrical run.
A Record-Breaking Opening Weekend
Before reaching the $500 million milestone, Spider-Man: Brand New Day had already made history with its opening weekend.
The film ultimately posted approximately $360 million domestically, surpassing Avengers: Endgame and its $357.1 million debut to claim the biggest opening weekend ever recorded in North America. (ABC News)
That performance also made Brand New Day the biggest opening in the history of Sony’s live-action Spider-Man franchise, surpassing the $260.1 million domestic debut of 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home. (Los Angeles Times)
The film’s Thursday previews were also historic, generating approximately $72 million before its official opening day. Its Friday performance subsequently reached another franchise milestone, with the movie earning roughly $169 million domestically in a single day. (Los Angeles Times)
‘Brand New Day’ Reaches $500 Million Faster Than ‘Endgame’
The latest achievement may be even more significant than the opening-weekend record.

That means Brand New Day is not simply benefiting from a massive opening. Audiences have continued turning out throughout the week, allowing the film to maintain unusually strong daily box-office numbers.
The performance also places the movie among the year’s biggest theatrical successes.
More Than $1 Billion Worldwide in Six Days
The film’s international performance has been equally impressive.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day passed $1 billion worldwide in just six days, making it the second-fastest movie ever to reach that figure. Only Avengers: Endgame accomplished the feat more quickly. (Hollywood Reporter)
The movie opened internationally to an estimated $572 million, contributing to a worldwide opening of approximately $932 million. That ranked it as the second-biggest global opening in movie history at the time. (ABC News)
The film has since continued adding to that total during its first week.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Continues to Deliver
The latest results reinforce the extraordinary commercial performance of Tom Holland’s run as Peter Parker.
Holland first appeared as Spider-Man in Captain America: Civil War before taking the lead in Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home, and Spider-Man: No Way Home. The latter became a worldwide phenomenon, ultimately earning more than $1.9 billion. (ABC News)
Brand New Day reunites Holland with Zendaya and expands the cast with Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal and Mark Ruffalo. The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, who previously directed Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. (YouTube)
The story picks up after the events of No Way Home, with Peter Parker living in a world where the people closest to him no longer remember who he is. As he commits himself completely to being Spider-Man, a new threat forces him into another major confrontation.
Is ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Headed for Another Record?
The biggest question now is how far the movie can go.
With more than $500 million already collected domestically during its first week and more than $1 billion generated worldwide in less than a week, Brand New Day has established an extraordinary pace.
The movie is also benefiting from strong audience reception. The film currently carries an A CinemaScore, while its critics score has remained strong on Rotten Tomatoes. (ABC News)
The second weekend will provide an important indication of whether the film can maintain its momentum. A strong hold could put additional domestic and worldwide milestones within reach.
For Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios, however, the immediate victory is already clear: Spider-Man: Brand New Day has delivered one of the biggest theatrical launches in modern movie history.
And with Spider-Man still swinging strong at the box office, the superhero movie business has received another powerful reminder that audiences will turn out in enormous numbers for an event film that captures their attention.
