Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially taken the record as the highest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office.
The MCU film has been a massive hit among audiences and critics since the start of its theatrical release in late July. To the surprise of many, it has also become a global box office sensation as it managed to gross more than $2 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing Spider-Man film and just below Avengers: Endgame.
Now, almost two months into its theatrical run, it has broken an all-time domestic box office record.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Breaks All-Time Domestic Box Office Record
Variety confirmed that Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now officially the highest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office, as it earned $936.77 million in North America.
It dethroned Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which had topped the record in the last 11 years with $936.66 million, and some box office experts believed that it would have been difficult for another film to nab the crown.
Some are wondering now whether a $1 billion domestic gross is in play, although that seems to be unlikely now given that the film is nearing the end of its theatrical run and more films will arrive in the coming weeks that will get more screenings.
In terms of worldwide record, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in third place, as it has grossed $2.45 billion. However, it would need to gross more than $300 million in the coming weeks for it to place 2nd, which is seen as an unlikely scenario.
The film has been a critical and audience success since its release, which explains why it managed to break a lot of box office records and even surpass No Way Home. It is praised for its deeper character study and its introduction of Jean Grey, who is seen as a key player in the future of the MCU.
For now, let's wait and see whether the film will manage to break more records in the rest of its theatrical run.
What Is Spider-Man: Brand New Day About?
Spider-Man: Brand New Day marks an entirely new chapter for Peter Parker and Spider-Man. Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves.
Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city, a full-time Spider-Man, but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.
The main cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, Mark Ruffalo, Marisa Tomei, Florence Pugh, and Liza Colon-Zayas.
