Record-Breaking Domestic Box Office
Within 13 days of its July 31 release, *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* surpassed $700 million in North-American ticket sales, reaching $704.5 million as of August 12. This makes it the fastest film ever to cross the $700 million threshold, beating the previous record of 16 days set jointly by *Star Wars: The Force Awakens* and *Avengers: Endgame*. The achievement places the movie at No. 6 on the all-time domestic chart, overtaking *Black Panther*.

The film’s overseas earnings have climbed to $1.108 billion, eclipsing the $1.106 billion foreign total of its predecessor *Spider-Man: No Way Home*. The strongest markets include China ($197.6 million), the United Kingdom ($95.4 million), Mexico ($70.8 million), France ($56.0 million), and India ($55.7 million). Combined with its domestic haul, the worldwide gross is reported between $1.8 billion and $1.81 billion, depending on the source.
Production and Release Context
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the fourth MCU-spun Spider-Man film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, and Jon Bernthal. Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios invested $225 million in production.
