Spider-Man: Brand New Day Swings Past Star Wars to Box Office History!

The web-slinger has done it again! "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has officially claimed the title of the highest-grossing film of all time in North America, swinging past the previous record held by "Star Wars: Episode VII, The Force Awakens."

In just 47 days, the blockbuster has amassed an astonishing 936.7 million US dollars across America and Canada. This incredible feat narrowly surpasses "The Force Awakens," which held the record with 936.6 million US dollars.

It's a monumental achievement for the Marvel and Sony Pictures collaboration.

Even Lucasfilm, the studio behind Star Wars, couldn't help but acknowledge the new champion. They extended their congratulations on social media with a nod to their own iconic franchise: “Impressive. Most impressive.

From a galaxy far, far away, everyone at Lucasfilm sends massive congratulations to Destin, Tom, everyone at Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios and the entire team behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day on setting a new domestic box office record and taking the crown from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” They even shared an animated image of Spider-Man with the message, “The force is strong with you!

Congratulations from Lucasfilm.”

The official "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" Instagram account also celebrated, stating,

Doesn’t get bigger than this. Thank you to the fans for helping #SpiderManBrandNewDay make cinematic history, it’s now the highest-grossing domestic release of ALL TIME at the North American box office.

This film, which premiered on July 31, has been a record-breaker from the start, quickly reaching multiple domestic box office milestones from $400 million to $900 million. Starring Tom Holland in his fourth outing as Peter Parker, the movie earned an impressive $355 million in the US and Canada during its opening weekend, alongside $572 million internationally.

Globally, "Brand New Day" continues its incredible run, currently standing as the third-highest grossing film of all time with 2.45 billion US dollars. It's only beaten by "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.7 billion) and the reigning champion, "Avatar" ($2.9 billion). With a production budget of $225 million (excluding marketing), it's safe to say this friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has delivered a huge win.
