Spider-Man: Brand New Day Shatters Box-Office Records in Its Second Weekend

Within 12 days of its release, *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* has amassed a global total of $1.67 billion—$655 million domestically and $1.01 billion overseas. The film’s second weekend delivered $145 million in North America, marking the third-best domestic second-weekend ever and the highest-grossing sophomore frame of the year. Overseas, Variety reports a $236 million second-weekend haul, while TheWrap cites a $381 million worldwide second-weekend sum, indicating a discrepancy in reporting. China remains the largest foreign market with $186 million to date, followed by the United Kingdom ($87.4 million) and Mexico ($65.8 million). At this pace, industry trackers project the film could breach the $2 billion threshold within the week.

The last Spider-Man outing, *No Way Home* (December 2021), set a post-COVID benchmark for Sony’s superhero releases. The five-year gap created pent-up demand for Tom Holland’s fourth solo adventure, contributing to the current summer’s box-office surge. Deadline notes that the May 1–mid-August domestic summer total stands at $3.985 billion, just $14.8 million shy of the $4 billion mark, with *Brand New Day* and Universal’s *The Odyssey* accounting for roughly half of that figure.

Sources differ on the overseas second-weekend total: Variety lists $236 million, whereas TheWrap aggregates worldwide earnings to $381 million for the same period. Both figures are presented as official box-office tallies, but the inconsistency leaves the precise overseas performance unclear. Additionally, while several outlets project a near-term breach of the $2 billion mark, no single source provides a definitive date for that milestone.
