Spider-Man: Brand New Day Is Smashing Box Office Records — Why Is Tom Holland's Spidey Chasing Avengers: Endgame?

Spidey Is Having One of the Biggest Second Weekends in History

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is doing something almost no blockbuster does anymore — it's getting bigger in week two. The Sony Pictures hit, starring Tom Holland, and Sadie Sink, is projected to pull in a massive $143 million in its second North American weekend. That would put it in the top three best sophomore frames in US box office history, standing alongside giants like Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Friday alone brought in $43 million from 4,487 theaters, and the IMAX boost means the webslinger is barely slowing down. Analysts already say it set a new 10-day gross record — and worldwide, it has crossed $1.18 billion and counting.

What Made This Sequel So Big

Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Brand New Day isn't just another MCU sequel — it gave Peter Parker a fresh status quo, a new supporting cast, and a story that drops the multiverse chaos for a more grounded, more personal struggle. That change of pace clearly hit: it opened massive, and unlike most summer event films, the word of mouth didn't fall off a cliff.

It also crushed its competition. One Night Only (with Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner), Super Troopers 3, and Ice Cream Man all opened against Spidey — none of them came close.

The Record Numbers at a Glance

• $143M projected second weekend — a top-3 U.S. sophomore frame ever
• $1.18B+ worldwide and climbing fast
• Chasing Endgame and Force Awakens all-time weekly records
• IMAX and premium formats selling out in droves

Bottom line: Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the biggest story in Hollywood this month. If Spidey keeps swinging like this, the 2026 box-office crown is already his.
