We knew Spider-Man: Brand New Day was going to be big, but we're not sure anyone could have predicted it would be this big.
The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed solo Spidey adventure continues to break box office records and has now officially passed the $500 million mark domestically.
BND's cumulative domestic gross hit $508.7 million on Thursday, making it the quickest movie to pass the $500 million milestone at the domestic box office and giving it the highest-grossing first week in domestic box office history (surpassing Avengers: Endgame).
Earlier this week, the film became the second-fastest movie in history to earn $1 billion worldwide (it didn't quite catch Endgame there).
Only 22 other movies in history have grossed more than $500 million domestically (not adjusted for inflation), and only six of them were MCU projects: Avengers: Endgame, Spider-Man: No Way Home, Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Deadpool and Wolverine, and Avengers.
A fifth Tom Holland Spider-Man movie has yet to be officially announced, but we'd be very surprised if Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios weren't already making moves on that front. Rumor has it that tentative plans are in place for a new trilogy, but again, nothing has been confirmed.
Following the record-breaking success of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Spider-Man: Brand New Day begins a brand 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 and living alone after erasing himself and the memories of him from those he loves. In a New York that no longer knows his name, he has devoted himself wholeheartedly to protecting his city as Spider-Man full-time.
But as the demands on him grow, he is put under increasing pressure. This triggers an unexpected physical change that threatens his existence, while a strange wave of crime emerges - and gives rise to one of the most dangerous threats he has ever faced.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day 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. The cast includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now in theaters.
