Spider-Man: Brand New Day Dethrones Star Wars: The Force Awakens As America’s Highest-Grossing Movie Ever

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has reached another movie milestone, officially claiming Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ 11-year spot as the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office after a month and two weeks in theaters. Marvel and Sony’s joint venture has officially hit $937 million in U.S. ticket sales, surpassing The Force Awakens’ $936 million run after it premiered in 2015. With a current worldwide gross of over $2.4 billion, the fourth film starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker is currently the third highest-grossing film of all time, just behind the first Avatar film and Avengers: Endgame, which have grossed approximately $2.9 billion and $2.8 billion, respectively. Endgame is about to get a slight boost with the Encore re-release next week on September 25, which will include new footage that will lead into the story of December’s Avengers: Doomsday. We’ll see if Brand New Day manages to overtake it before its theatrical run comes to an end. Now that the movie’s officially been crowned the highest-grossing movie in American box-office history, Marvel and Sony thanked fans for their support on social media. Doesn’t get bigger than this. Thank you to the fans for helping #SpiderManBrandNewDay make cinematic history – it’s now the highest-grossing domestic release of ALL TIME at the North American box office.

Although Holland hasn’t been confirmed to appear in Doomsday, Brand New Day’s post-credits scene heavily implies he may show up in Avengers: Secret Wars, which is set to premiere in theaters in December of next year.
