Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day has added another record to its impressive theatrical run. The Marvel-Sony release has now overtaken Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing film in North American box office history.
After 47 days in theatres, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned an estimated USD 936.773 million in North America, edging past the USD 936.6 million lifetime collection of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Released in late July, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has continued to draw audiences well into its theatrical run. The latest milestone sees it move ahead of the 2015 Star Wars film, which had held the North American record for years.
The current top five films at the North American box office are led by Spider-Man: Brand New Day with approximately USD 936.7 million. Star Wars: The Force Awakens follows with USD 936.6 million, while Avengers: Endgame is in third place with USD 858.3 million.
Holland’s previous Spider-Man outing, Spider-Man: No Way Home, occupies the fourth position with USD 814.8 million. James Cameron’s Avatar rounds out the top five with USD 785.2 million.
Following the record-breaking achievement, Lucasfilm congratulated the Spider-Man: Brand New Day team through the official Star Wars social media account.
The post read, “Impressive. Most Impressive. From a galaxy far, far away, everyone at Lucasfilm sends massive congratulations to Destin, Tom, everyone at Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios and the entire team behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day on setting a new domestic box office record and taking the crown from Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
The congratulatory message came as Spider-Man: Brand New Day officially surpassed the long-standing domestic record.
The next major target for the film is the USD 1 billion mark in North America. However, considering that the film is already 47 days into its theatrical release, reaching the milestone could depend on its performance in the coming weeks.
