After vaulting past $1.2 billion, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is charging toward an even bigger box office milestone this weekend.

After just days in theaters, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already cleared $1.2 billion worldwide — and the momentum isn’t slowing. Per box-office tracker Global Box Office on X, the fourth Tom Holland MCU entry is now eyeing $1.7 billion by the end of the weekend as it keeps rewriting weekday records.

Biggest Friday ever: $168 million.

Record-smashing pace

  • Biggest Friday: $168 million, topping Avengers: Endgame ($157 million).
  • Biggest Monday: $47 million, passing Black Panther ($40 million in 2018).
  • Biggest Tuesday: $42 million, edging Spider-Man: No Way Home ($39 million in 2021).
  • Fastest to $400 million in North America: just four days.
  • Second-fastest to $1 billion globally: six days — only 2019’s Endgame got there quicker.

Alongside those milestones, the film’s total has surged so quickly that only Endgame is cited as having reached the $1.2 billion mark in less time.

Why it’s connecting

Industry watchers point to a simple mix: strong reviews, loud word-of-mouth, and a more grounded, character-first story that doesn’t require any multiverse catch-up. Add the draw of Tom Holland and Zendaya, and you’ve got a four-quel that plays like an event movie and a crowd-pleaser at once.

2026’s billion-dollar club

Brand New Day becomes the fourth 2026 release to cross the billion mark, joining:

  • Toy Story 5
  • Michael
  • The Super Mario Galaxy Movie
  • Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Close behind: The Odyssey, which has reportedly reached $930 million worldwide.

The question now is how high Spidey can climb with an IMAX rollout still ahead and weekend projections pushing toward $1.7 billion worldwide, per Global Box Office’s tracking on X.
