‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ has continued its exceptionally strong cinema run, moving ahead of 2013’s ‘Iron Man 3’ in worldwide box-office takings within a week. The result places it among the 30 highest-grossing films ever and underlines the continued commercial strength of Marvel’s biggest characters.

The film opened with a record-breaking weekend and passed $1 billion globally in under a week; it is projected to exceed $650 million domestically by Sunday of its second weekend. It is also reportedly tracking ahead of ‘Avengers: Endgame’ at the same point in release, aided by IMAX screenings, while ‘Iron Man 3’ benefited from arriving directly after 2012’s ‘The Avengers’ and remains a divisive MCU entry.
