Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed $700 million in domestic box office and topped $1 billion worldwide, becoming one of only seven films to hit that domestic threshold alongside titles like Avengers: Endgame and Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The film set records including the largest domestic opening weekend, surpassing Endgame, and posted $145 million in its second weekend. Marvel-adjacent commentary framed the numbers as proof that audiences aren't tired of superhero films, just tired of bad ones.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Every time a Marvel movie clears a billion dollars, someone declares superhero fatigue dead, which is itself a genre at this point, complete with its own tired tropes. The lesson studios keep relearning at nine figures a pop is that people will watch spandex forever if the marketing budget is large enough.
