Spider-Man: Brand New Day has swung past everyone’s expectations, hitting a remarkable milestone by raking in $900 million at the domestic box office. This monumental feat has given the latest Spider-Man installment the honor of being only the second movie to achieve this mark, following Disney/Lucasfilm’s 2015 phenomenon, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Even more impressive is that Spider-Man: Brand New Day reached this figure in just 36 days, outpacing Force Awakens, which took 50 days. With the summer movie season reaching its finale, this Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Sadie Sink-led film has the potential to become the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office, challenging the $936.6 million record held by Force Awakens.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is estimated to bring in an additional $18 million over the upcoming weekend, further solidifying its box office reign. As it concludes its fifth week in theaters, the film has accumulated a staggering total of $899.7 million.
Adding to the weekend’s cinematic lineup, Paramount has initiated previews for By Any Means, a gripping action thriller directed by Elegance Bratton that stars Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Kicking off with $725,000 from 2,350 theaters, this 1960s-set film takes audiences on a raw journey into civil rights-era Mississippi.
In addition to By Any Means, A24’s Onslaught, directed by Adam Wingard, opened with previews bringing in $275,000. This genre-blending film features a star-studded cast, including Adria Arjona and Rebecca Hall, and is expected to garner between $5 million and $7 million over its debut weekend.
