Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed $2 billion worldwide after a $70 million third weekend, the second-best third-frame ever behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, with domestic totals around $786 million in 17 days as the summer box office remains crowded and August releases continue to fill theaters.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day crosses $2 billion at the global box office in 17 days, the second-fastest to reach the milestone after Avengers: Endgame; domestic $785.8M and international $1.236B, for a $2.022B worldwide total, with Sony Pictures’ film now the top-grossing release in 36 international markets.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed $1 billion worldwide, becoming the second-fastest film to reach that milestone after Avengers: Endgame, with $407M domestic and $645.8M internationally. The film achieved this despite no IMax release in North America and benefited from a star-driven campaign led by Tom Holland and Zendaya. Sony touted the emotional storyline and a massive marketing push—including partnerships with Samsung, BMW, McDonalds and Little Caesars, the SpideyTracker, Google/YouTube Easter eggs, and a World Cup crossover with Lionel Messi—contributing to record advance ticket sales (about $150M before previews). Sony's Tom Rothman attributed the success to friendship and hope, and the team signaled ongoing collaboration with Marvel/Disney on future installments.

Universal/Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey led the global box office with a $263.7M weekend, supported by a strong overseas start ($140.2M) and a solid North American debut ($123.5M).

Broad audiences appear cautious about a 30-year-old property, and the weekend’s top spots are expected to go to Scary Movie and Backrooms, with MOTU hoping for strong word-of-mouth to sustain it beyond opening. The film also debuted in some markets, including the UK at #3, but overall momentum remains uncertain.
