"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" earned $145 million domestically in its second weekend, one of only eight films ever to clear $100 million in that slot, pushing its worldwide total to $1.67 billion. It's on pace to become the first movie to cross $1 billion domestically before inflation adjustment, a mark currently held by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" at $936 million. The film is also the highest-grossing Hollywood release ever in India and performing strongly in China.
The success arrives after a rough stretch for Marvel, including 2025's poorly performing "Thunderbolts," "Captain America: Brave New World," and "Fantastic Four," and is being read as a sign that audience goodwill toward established actors and characters, not just reviews, drives ticket sales. "Avengers: Doomsday" presales are reportedly strong, with 2028 bringing "Black Panther 3," "Ghost Rider," and an "X-Men" reboot as the real test of whether the momentum holds. DC's "Supergirl" underperformed just weeks before "Brand New Day" opened, leaving "Man of Tomorrow" as the next make-or-break title for the rival studio.
