Spider-Man: Brand New Day Has Record-Breaking Monday, Becomes Second-Fastest Movie To Hit $1 Billion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day Has Record-Breaking Monday, Becomes Second-Fastest Movie To Hit $1 Billion

There's simply no stopping Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as the Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios movie has broken more records on Monday, both in North America and at the worldwide box office.

By JoshWilding - Aug 04, 2026 01:08 PM EST

Spider-Man: Brand New Day can't stop breaking records, as it just set another in North America, webbing up the biggest Monday ever with $47 million. With that, the movie has easily beaten previous record-holders Black Panther ($40.15 million) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($40.1 million).

That takes the blockbuster's current domestic cume to a spectacular $407 million, meaning it's already 2026's third-highest-grossing title behind Toy Story 5 ($463.3 million) and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($429.8 million).

To put these numbers into context for you, The Odyssey reached $405 million yesterday after opening on July 17. At this rate, analysts expect Spider-Man: Brand New Day to post the second-biggest weekend ever, beating The Force Awakens ($149.2 million) and Avengers: Endgame ($147.3 million). 

The good news keeps coming for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, as it also passed $1 billion on Monday, becoming the second-fastest movie to reach that global milestone after Avengers: Endgame. That beat the web-slinger by one day, with a $1.22 billion global bow. As of now, Spidey's latest solo outing has earned $1.052 billion. 

"Whether you live in Peru, Pakistan, or Peoria, everyone wants friends and wants connection with everyone. Fundamentally, this is a movie about friendship and hope," Sony Pictures CEO Tom Rothman told Deadline today. 

"We led with emotion," he said of Spider-Man: Brand New Day's marketing campaign. "We stayed with that emotion all day (throughout the campaign). For all the whiz-bang, the audience doesn’t care about what a movie costs; they care about how it makes them feel. We kept the emotion and the character front and centre."

Addressing the future, Rothman once again claimed that no deals are in place for Spider-Man 5. All he'd say is, "I hope Tom Holland comes back."

A new IMAX poster for Spider-Man: Brand New Day has also been released. Check it out below, along with a new Spidey-themed IMAX logo.

In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it's a Brand New Day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control.

But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day's cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando, and Mark Ruffalo. 

The movie is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and written by Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers. The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad and Rachel O'Connor. Executive producers include Louis D'Esposito and David Cain. 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in theaters.

@incredibleTalk - I don't think they need it. Disney only spends 25% of the production cost and takes 25% of the profit. If a Spider-Man movie makes $2B on a $200M production cost with a $200M marketing cost, Disney makes 200M in profit for spending $50M, while Sony makes $400M in profit for spending $350M, which includes 100% of the marketing cost. Of course, roughly $1B goes to theaters, give or take.

Now, imagine what it would have been like if Disney had gotten the 50% profit/budget sharing model they were after when Far From Home came out. Disney's profit would have been $400M, while Sony's would have been $200M.

@incredibleTalk -

It doesn't need them.
They would be nice for Disney/Marvel to have, but they are not a "must-have" for them like they are for Sony.

The REAL Spider-Man money is in the merchandising revenues and the Digital/Print rights - of which Marvel still owns those 100%.

Spider-Man typically makes upwards of DOUBLE in revenues from toys/Merch/clothing/comics/posters sales than it does from whatever movie it might have out in a particular year.

When Marvel first got the rights to use Spider-Man in the MCU in their first agreement with Sony back in 2015 when he appeard in Captain American 3: Civil War (a movie that made $1.4 Billion at the Box Office), the Spider-Man IP made $2 Billion in sales revenue at the till from merch and products just because of the connection.
Money which of course all went to Disney.

And none of these even counts what the Spider-Man IP makes in theme-park tie-ins - Disney's REAL money-makers.


Spide-Man movies are the most valuable IP assets for Sony in terms of being their biggest earners at the Box Office.

On the other hand, Spider-Man movies are merely just a vehicle for Marvel/Disney to sell Spider-Man merch and products.

@SpiderParker - The theme parks are the only thing keeping Disney in business.

I don't believe ANY of those [frick]ing numbers - they have lost their asses on Star Wars/Indiana Jones/Marvel and the live action remakes for the better part of a decade.

None of those movies or D+ shows showed clean books or the shareholders would have burned down the studio.

Spidey probably puts them in the break even zone for the year and SONY isn't letting go.

DOOMSDAY needs to do better than BND to be a success and will easily cost $600M+ to bring to theaters.

It's the MEMBERBERRYVERSE featuring Spider-Man from now on.

@spr0cks - Disney Q3 Preview: Stock Priced for More Pain, But 'Doomsday' Is Coming (And That's A Good Thing) is the latest headline.

They're going to have $600-700M tied up in DOOMSDAY and betting the farm on it without SONY picking up the tab.

Sweet sweet COPIUM lol

@Batmangina - And you doubt that Avengers will break even cause its budget is too high? Is that it?

How many previous Avengers movies broke box-office records? Marvel was fine without Spider-Man, but Spider-Man only started performing so well because of Marvel. Far From Home is the first Spider-Man movie to cross $1B, and No Way Home is the first Spider-Man movie to get close to $2B. Why? Marvel! Especially in a world without Avengers.

In simple words: There is absolutely no doubt that the return of a box office juggernaut franchise that's hasn't been in theaters for over 7 years will break records once again.

(Spider-Man's in it BTW.)

@SpiderParker - Yes.

I also doubt the business model of seven years of wet dogshit like Ironheart, She-Hulk and The Marvels followed by a MEMBERBERRYVERSE gangbang thrown together with a $600M budget is viable long term.

I liked the original model. One or two movies a year that were actually quality and a big event every few years as it built up to it.

THOR: The Dark World used to be the worst thing Marvel ever did. Now it's like the [frick]ing Godfather Part II.

It's statistically possible that DOOMSDAY could be the biggest box office hit of all time - financially it has to and now it has to beat BND in quality - the jury is WAY out on all of those.

@Batmangina - Not much has changed. It's been 3 movies a year since Phase 3, specifically since 2017. Breaking even is not even up for debate, honestly. It's certain that Doomsday will easily surpass $2B, but beyond that is anyone's guess.

That said, it does look like they might go back to 2 movies a year, with 3 movies every once in a while.

I will say this though, they tried to keep the genre fresh and alive to avoid superhero fatigue, and experimented with a lot of things. They had the best intentions, but their timing couldn't have been worse with COVID, streaming, general lack of interest in theatrical movies, and too much online toxicity from a loud minority that drowned out constructive feedback on how to course correct.

In the end, it didn't help with the perception that there's superhero fatigue. There isn't since it's just changed habits.

Batmangina - 8/5/2026, 7:20 PM
@SpiderParker - I wanted good movies and shows. They did not deliver.

They blamed fans for their shitty results after hiring show runners that didn't know the source material or care to learn - they weren't interested in any 'constructive feedback' it was Ironheart Flavored Shit Sandwiches or go hungry.

BND proves there isn't ANY Superhero Fatigue just like SUPERGIRL proves there definitely IS Shitty Content Fatigue.

Literally night and day in sequence of release.

Dogshit movie gets dogshit result and comic accurate movie sets all-time record.

@Batmangina - I'm not saying you are wrong, but you are missing very important points. I agree that superhero fatigue isn't real, but neither is shitty-content fatigue. If anything there's a new-content fatigue.

People are not invested in anything new unless there's something going on about it. Be it a directors name attached to it, or a culturally significant meme festival on it that makes it seem fun, or a PG family movie. But that's about it, those are the only exceptions where new or untested movies make decent money. Good movies and exceptional movies have come and gone yet they have not made the kind of bucks anywhere close to a billion or what BND will end up making.

A Spider-Man movie shouldn't even be brought into a talk about any kind of fatigue. It has decades of goodwill and people's investment in it. Even if it wasn't a good movie or average, it would still end its run close to a billion at this point. Look carefully at my name and re-read that last statement, it's just a fact.

The same is true for Avengers, or a standalone Iron Man movie if it came out now. Word of mouth doesn't work on the opening day, all of that is on how well the franchise is known and loved. People justifying all this as a "good movie vs bad movie" issue are just oversimplifying how the box office actually works.

I have not seen Supergirl yet, and it might have issues but the fact remains: by the time I get around to watching it and forming my own opinion, it would have already failed, even if I end up loving it and thinking it's hugely underrated.

That's not how people functioned before COVID. Venom would have failed if it came out now, MOS and BVS would have failed harder than they did (especially after the first weekend for BvS, since it still has Batman in it), and if Spider-Man (2002) came out now, as a brand new IP not as a established IP for the general audience, it might not even do half a billion let alone a billion. And realistically, if Brand New Day came out exactly as it is, but without any prior Spider-Man movies building up to it over more than two decades, there is no chance it would reach half its height, let alone the same height.

The Butterfly Effect is a great movie, give it a watch if you think this is a hot take.

This is the 12th MCU movie to reach $1 billion and of those 12, 2 reached 2 billion. Absolutely mind-blowing.

To put this in context, only four movies (well, 3 actually since Joker isn't really a DC movie) in the entire history of DC have reached 1 billion, and none of them came even close to reaching 1.2 billion, let alone 2 billion.

@Moriakum - i think joshwilding might have the actual numbers the dceu movies made. first tow are probably around 1.5 billion and 2.5 billion for the second one.

@Moriakum -
The Joker is a DC movie.

It's not a traditional DC movie (i.e. you could say it's an 'Elseworlds' story), but it is a DC movie.

The character is DC IP, even if the story might not be DC lore.

LOL!
What the hell are you talking about?

No DC/DCEU movie has ever made $1.5 Billion or higher at the box office - Inflation unadjusted

The highest grossing DC movies (including the DCEU) of all time are:-

-Aquaman (2018): $1.15 billion
-Joker (2019): $1.07 billion
-The Dark Knight Rises (2012): $1.08 billion.
-The Dark Knight (2008) : $1.01 billion.

These figures are not adjusted for Inflation.

When adjusted for Inflation the list would be topped by Nolan's Dark Knight Batman movies which both adjust to $1.57 Billion in 2026 dollars with Aquaman dropping to 3rd with $1.53 and The Joker adjusting to $1.3 Billion and dropping to 5th place behind Christopher Reeve's Superman (1978) which adjusts to $1.43 Billion

Wrong.

Wonder Woman made $822 Million at the box office.
I don't know why people believe it made $1 Billion.

It's still the 2nd highest grossing solo DCEU movie (after Aquaman), but still didn't hit the Bil mark.

RE : "also justice league (2017) made like 100 million only but they reported that it made 600 million."

I don't even know what to make of this, since it makes no sense at any level.

Justice League had a reported Box office gross of $661 Million - 229 Million Domestic + $432 International.
Where did you get "$100 Million from"?

@Lucasberg - it can’t be real, going to make a prediction here: fourth weekend. If not, fourth, than eight, as it crawls its way as the finish line. But let me double down, for the weekend.

@TheWalkingCuban - I went down the rabbit hole. I actually think 2 billion is quite plausible now. It made 130 million globally yesterday. That’s crazy. Also, next weekend it opens on IMAX which are going to generate larger revenues for a movie that’s largely gonna be sold out yet again during its second weekend. I don’t think we’re prepared for the final numbers at the box office of this movie.
TheWalkingCuban
TheWalkingCuban - 8/4/2026, 8:15 PM
@Lucasberg - the Monday was record breaking so yeah I can see it topping the 858 domestic, but that’s strictly domestic, 1.9 billion of endgame’s global cume (lol) was foreign. And foreign is lagging on first weekend. 1.053 billion worldwide with Monday sure, but endgame has 1.2 without Monday. Insane numbers
Lucasberg
Lucasberg - 8/7/2026, 1:08 PM
@TheWalkingCuban - I've been checking this throughout the week. Worldwide, it'll be a great weekend if Spidey hits 1.75 billion at this point- which is still astonishing to think about it doing after just the 2nd weekend.
TheWalkingCuban
TheWalkingCuban - 8/7/2026, 4:30 PM
@Lucasberg - usually, aside from first weekend, each weekend makes what the weekdays leading up to it make. By that I mean, since these weekdays look like 300 million, then the weekend may also be 300 million (global) sooo i def wouldn’t place it anywhere below 1.6 by Monday. Hey if im wrong im wrong, i think the floor is 1.5, you figure 1.75, ima kind of split the difference
