Spider-Man: Brand New Day has just set a new record in North America by surpassing the $900 million mark in just 36 days, the fastest in domestic box office history.
According to Variety, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to hold the #1 spot at the North American box office for 6 consecutive weeks. The film grossed an additional $3.9 million on September 4, bringing its total domestic revenue to over $900 million after 36 days of release, faster than the 50-day record set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015.
This achievement brings Spider-Man: Brand New Day closer in the race for the highest-grossing domestic film of all time. Star Wars: The Force Awakens currently holds the top spot with $936.6 million. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is projected to earn approximately $22 million over the 4-day Labor Day holiday, bringing its total North American revenue to approximately $922 million.

If it maintains its current revenue pace, Spider-Man: Brand New Day will soon have the opportunity to surpass The Force Awakens. This is a particularly notable milestone as the film has consistently maintained the top position for 6 weeks, despite the summer movie season entering its final phase.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the ability of Spider-Man: Brand New Day to retain audiences is clearly demonstrated during the Labor Day holiday. This is typically a period when studios rarely bet on major releases, often making the box office race less vibrant than other holidays. However, Spider-Man: Brand New Day still maintains a significant lead over newly released films.

Paramount's By Any Means and A24's Onslaught both hit theaters over the weekend but could not change the landscape. By Any Means grossed $2.7 million on September 4, ranking 4th and is projected to reach $8.5 million over the 4 days.
Onslaught grossed $770,000 on its opening day, with an expected total of approximately $2.3 million over the holiday. These figures further solidify the lead of Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Not stopping at the North American market, the film is also making a significant mark globally. The total global revenue of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has exceeded $2.33 billion, placing the film in 3rd place in world box office history, behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame.

The growth momentum of Spider-Man: Brand New Day also contributes to pushing the 2026 summer movie season close to the highest revenue in history. Rentrak reports that domestic box office revenue from May 1 to September 3 reached $4.643 billion, while the 2013 record stands at $4.756 billion.
With Labor Day revenue projected to exceed $118 million, the North American summer box office this year has the potential to reach approximately $4.76 billion.
