Spider-Man: Brand New Day races past $1.67bn worldwide
Developed over time first seen 3 months ago
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has climbed to $1.67 billion worldwide after just 12 days in cinemas, making it the second-fastest film ever to cross $1 billion overseas, behind only 2019's "Avengers: Endgame". The Sony release, Tom Holland's fourth solo outing as the web-slinger, is now the biggest film of the year and the 12th-highest-grossing release of all time, reflecting strong pent-up demand for the character following a five-year absence from cinema screens since "No Way Home".
Its total comprises $1.01 billion internationally and $655 million domestically, with a second weekend alone contributing $381 million globally ($236 million overseas, $145 million domestically) — the third-biggest second weekend on record. China leads international markets with $186.7 million to date, ahead of the UK ($87.4 million) and Mexico ($65.8 million), and with little competition and heavy repeat viewing the film is now on course to reach $2 billion, a mark only seven films in history have achieved. Separately, Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" passed $1.1 billion to become his highest-grossing film ever, while Paramount's "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" opened to $23 million overseas.

How this story developed
- 3 months ago Coverage reaffirmed the same $1 billion international and $1.67 billion worldwide figures with no fresh numbers added, while framing "The Odyssey" more firmly as Nolan's career-best earner outright rather than a film that had merely just passed that threshold.
- 3 months ago The breakdown behind that $1.67 billion total was clarified as $1.01 billion from overseas markets and $655 million domestically, with the second-weekend haul now ranked the third-largest ever recorded, and "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" reported a specific $23 million international opening.
- 3 months ago Twelve days after release, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" surpassed $1 billion in overseas earnings, reaching $1.67 billion globally to rank as 2026's top film and the 12th highest-grossing release ever, while Nolan's "The Odyssey" and the new "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" also featured in the weekend's box office picture.
Explained simply
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth solo Spider-Man film starring Tom Holland, released by Sony Pictures and produced with Marvel Studios. It arrives five years after the last instalment, "No Way Home", and follows the same version of Peter Parker as he continues in the role after the events of that film.
The film's box office performance is being tracked closely because it reflects how strongly audiences worldwide are still turning out for big franchise releases at the cinema, at a time when the film industry pays close attention to whether blockbusters can still draw huge global crowds. Figures such as total earnings, how quickly a film passes certain money thresholds, and comparisons with past hits like "Avengers: Endgame" are standard industry yardsticks used to judge a film's success and its place in cinema history.
Other current releases mentioned alongside it, such as Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" and Paramount's "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie", offer useful context on how the wider box office is performing this year, helping to show whether Spider-Man's success is part of a broader trend or a standout case.
