Spider-Man: Brand New Day is closing in on box office history after topping the domestic charts for a fifth consecutive weekend, adding $21 million and pushing its total tantalisingly close to the all-time record. The film, Tom Holland's fourth solo outing as the Marvel superhero, has already overtaken Avengers: Endgame to become the second-highest-grossing film in domestic history, with only one title left ahead of it. Its sustained success, driven by strong reviews and word of mouth, underlines the continued commercial pull of the Spider-Man franchise a month after release.
Produced on a reported budget of $225 million, the film has now grossed more than $890 million domestically and over $2.3 billion globally, placing it among the five highest-grossing films ever made.
