Only six movies have reached $700 million at the domestic box office, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now become the seventh. While we're waiting on updated numbers, the movie matched its $17 million haul from Monday to Tuesday, which is bargain ticket day.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day will swing beyond $700 million today, Wednesday, August 12, becoming the fourth MCU movie to do so after Black Panther ($700.4 million), Spider-Man: No Way Home ($814.8 million), and Avengers: Endgame ($858.3 million).
With an expected $50+ million lead over Avengers: Endgame at the same point in its run, the wall-crawler's latest movie is definitely going to reach $900 million in North America. Will it challenge Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $936.6 million haul to become the biggest blockbuster ever in U.S. history? Could it even become the first to reach $1 billion stateside? It's too soon to say, but neither outcome is impossible.
Heading into its third weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will remain at #1 with an estimated $57 million to $72 million. The best third weekend ever belongs to The Force Awakens with a massive $90.2 million, so Spidey likely won't beat that record.
However, with such strong weekdays, the sky is the limit for Peter Parker. After scoring the biggest second Monday ever, Spider-Man: Brand New Day also webbed up the biggest second Tuesday, which is a spectacular result.
Elsewhere at the box office, The End of Oak Street will open at #2 this weekend with a predicted $20 million to $25 million debut. PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is another new title, but it also won't bother Spidey, with an expected opening in the mid- to high-teens.
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.
In our review, we concluded by saying, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day is everything fans could want. Emotional, hilarious, and heartfelt, it’s an action-packed love letter to the comics and one of Spidey’s best big-screen adventures. Spider-Man has never been more amazing."
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in theaters.
