Spider-Man: Brand New Day Holds No. 1 for Sixth Weekend, Closes In on All-Time Domestic Record
Spider-Man: Brand New Day spent its sixth consecutive weekend at the top of the domestic box office — the United States and Canada — grossing an estimated $18 million over the traditional three-day frame and $23 million through the Labor Day Monday holiday, according to Variety. Sony's fourth Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland has now grossed $923 million in North America, putting it within striking distance of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its $936 million domestic record (not adjusted for inflation).
Globally, the film has reached $2.4 billion, ranking as the third-biggest release of all time behind Avatar ($2.9 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion), and ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water ($2.3 billion), Variety reports. It crossed $900 million domestically in 36 days — the fastest any film has reached that mark, per Variety. The last film to hold the No. 1 spot for six straight weekends was Avatar: The Way of Water, which managed seven in 2022.
For a film six weeks into its run, the holds are remarkable. It played across 3,520 theatres this weekend. Deadline had tracked the three-day gross at roughly $16.7 million, down 26% from the prior weekend; the actual figure came in slightly ahead. The film opened on July 31, 2026 — a date Sony announced at CinemaCon — and has shown strong legs, a term for how well a film holds week to week after its opening. The Numbers lists its opening weekend at $360,091,572, meaning the film has since multiplied that figure by roughly 2.5 times.
The wider summer painted a healthy picture, too. The 2026 summer box office (May through early September) reached $4.7 billion domestically, the second-largest summer on record, behind only 2013's $4.755 billion (not adjusted for inflation). Alongside Spider-Man, the season's hits included The Odyssey, Toy Story 5, The Devil Wears Prada 2, and indie breakouts Obsession and Backrooms. Not every big release found an audience: Disney's live-action Moana, Warner Bros. and DC's Supergirl, and Amazon MGM's Masters of the Universe all underperformed.
Two new wide releases entered the market this weekend. By Any Means, directed by Elegance Bratton and starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg, debuted in fourth place with $7 million from 2,903 North American theatres and an estimated $9 million through Monday, Variety reports. The film received a B+ grade from CinemaScore — the audience polling firm — and a 52% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes. Hammerstone Studios financed the production for roughly $30 million, with Paramount distributing for a fee.
Fall 2: Deadpoint opened at No. 12 with $2.3 million from 1,704 venues and a projected $2.9 million over its first four days. That figure is roughly even with its 2022 predecessor Fall, which opened to $2.5 million and finished with $7.2 million domestically and $18 million worldwide.
The question now is whether Brand New Day can pass The Force Awakens before its run winds down. At $923 million, it needs another $13 million — a threshold it could cross within the next two weekends at its current pace.
