Spider-Man: Brand New Day cannot stop breaking records, especially at the domestic box office, as it has now officially sold more tickets than Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man from 2002. Brand New Day is now in 7th place on the all-time list of most tickets sold for a superhero movie.
The latest Tom Holland film added roughly $17 million on Saturday, translating to approximately 1.4 million additional tickets sold. Per Deadline, the film’s running domestic cume by Sunday will sit at $852.4 million, with a projected weekend haul near $36 million. That puts it on track to overtake Avengers: Endgame’s $858.3 million domestic total and claim the No. 2 spot on the all-time domestic box office chart, second only to Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is worth noting that Endgame is scheduled for a theatrical re-release in September, which could lead to a further shake-up amidst the Top 3.
The list of the ten most attended superhero films in North America now stands as follows:
- Avengers: Endgame — 93,708,843
- Spider-Man: No Way Home — 79,301,629
- The Avengers — 78,311,295
- Black Panther — 76,845,177
- Avengers: Infinity War — 74,513,225
- The Dark Knight — 74,375,133
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day ~70,400,000
- Spider-Man — 69,675,246
- Spider-Man 2 — 60,347,237
- Deadpool & Wolverine — 56,299,369
Globally, Endgame remains Tom Holland’s highest-grossing film to date, with $2.7 billion. But, there is no doubt that Spider-Man is far and above the most successful solo-superhero franchise of the 21st century.

The Wrap recently also reported on just how much the character’s broader financial footprint is beyond the box office. Using its Streaming Economics model, they revealed that Spider-Man films and series generated more than $940 million in global streaming revenue between 2020 and 2025.
While we may no longer be in the days when even Captain Marvel can open to positive reviews and make a billion dollars, Spider-Man is immune to all of that and the genre’s trends in general. He really is the golden goose that is ever so reliable, and the last few weeks have been a further testament to exactly that.
Billion Dollar is the floor for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
When adjusted for inflation, seven of the eight live-action Spider-Man films released this century — Raimi’s trilogy, The Amazing Spider-Man, all three Homecoming-era films — have crossed a billion dollars worldwide. The only film that has not, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, still translates to $968 million when adjusted for current inflation.

It is almost unfathomable that this is the floor for the webcrawler. Both Spider-Man and Batman are undeniably the biggest and most beloved superheroes, and are outliers in terms of the typical trends that follow the genre.
Even among both of them, J. Jonah Jameson’s worst nemesis arguably stands alone at the summit. He is powerful enough to go up against space gods, human enough that he is still just as broke as most of us, and always a victim of bad timing and misunderstandings in his relationships; these traits define him as much as his powers do.
Whatever uncertainty exists elsewhere in Disney, Marvel or moviegoing in general, one thing has stayed completely unshakable through all of it: the world loves Spider-Man, and the world specifically loves watching Tom Holland do it.
