## Key points

- Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now the top domestic box-office earner ever.
- It overtook The Force Awakens' $936 million record after seven weekends.
- Practical Magic 2 knocked it off the weekend's number-one spot.

## Summary

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has become the highest-grossing film in domestic box-office history, surpassing Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens' $936 million tally, even as it slipped from the top of the weekend chart after seven weeks at number one. The milestone caps a remarkable run for the film and represents a significant boost for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which had endured a difficult few years before this instalment's release; it marks only the second time an MCU title has topped an all-time box-office ranking, after Avengers: Endgame briefly did so before being overtaken by Avatar.

The film earned around $9 million domestically over the weekend, pushing its running total to roughly $935 million, before officially crossing the $936 million mark set by The Force Awakens. It was displaced from the weekend's number-one spot by newcomer Practical Magic 2, which opened to about $30 million in line with forecasts, while Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey passed $600 million domestically to become Universal's highest-grossing release worldwide. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and starring Tom Holland in his fourth solo outing as the character, Brand New Day holds a "Certified Fresh" 90% critics' score and 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and is already among the five highest-grossing films globally, with the MCU set to continue in December with Avengers: Doomsday.
