Spider-Man: Brand New Day has surpassed $800 million at the domestic box office — the United States and Canada — within its first 19 days of release, making it the fastest film in history to reach that mark, beating the previous record set by 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Deadline).

As of August 19, 2026, the film's domestic gross stood at $803.9 million, slotting it at No. 4 on the all-time highest-grossing domestic releases chart, per The Hollywood Reporter. It sits just behind Spider-Man: No Way Home, which holds the No. 3 spot with $814.8 million.

The global picture is even bigger. Brand New Day has crossed $2 billion worldwide, becoming only the eighth film to hit that milestone (The Hollywood Reporter). That $2 billion cume tops No Way Home's $1.9 billion, making it Sony Pictures' highest-grossing feature ever. According to Box Office Mojo, the split as of August 19 was $794,051,866 domestic (39.1% of the worldwide total) and $1,236,000,000 international, for a worldwide gross of $2,030,051,866.

The records started piling up from opening day. The film launched in theatres on July 31 — Box Office Mojo lists July 29 as the earliest release date in some markets — and posted the largest domestic opening weekend of all time: $360 million, surpassing Avengers: Endgame (The Hollywood Reporter). Box Office Mojo records the precise figure at $360,091,572. That first frame also powered the highest-grossing first week in domestic box office history.

Globally, Brand New Day was the second-fastest film to reach $1 billion, trailing only Avengers: Endgame. It then reached $2 billion after just three weekends of release (Variety).

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Mark Ruffalo, and Jon Bernthal. It headed into its fourth weekend of release as of August 19.

For Sony, the numbers carry weight beyond a single title. The studio's highest-grossing feature was already a Spider-Man film — No Way Home — and now its successor has overtaken it. Two of the top four domestic releases of all time now belong to the same franchise, released four years apart.
