Tom Holland-starrer Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to reach new milestones at the box office each passing week. The superhero adventure has now become the third-highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing the lifetime collections of all-time blockbusters like Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water. While its collections have now slowed down, it is an impressive achievement nonetheless, something that no solo superhero film has ever managed.

Spider-Man Brand New Day box office: Tom Holland film is soaring new heights.

Brand New Day scales new heights

In its fifth weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued to rule the box office, having remained the number 1 film in North America for 31 days. The film earned $22.5 million in the US and Canada in the fifth weekend, taking its domestic gross to $891 million, the second-highest ever. Overseas, the Tom Holland-starrer has been an even bigger success, minting $1.44 billion outside North America, aided by major markets such as China, Japan, the UK, and India. After Sunday, its global haul stood at $2.332 billion, just $1.6 million behind the final collections of Avatar: The Way of Water. Over the weekend, it surpassed another James Cameron film - Titanic. The 1997 hit had earned $2.257 billion worldwide. On Monday, trade experts estimated that Brand New Day added over $6 million more, surpassing Avatar 2 on the all-time list.

It is now behind only two films - Avatar ($2.923 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.797 billion). Given its current pace, it is unlikely that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will catch up to either of them. It is currently $464 million behind Endgame, and given that Endgame will soon re-release ahead of the Avengers: Doomsday premiere, this gap will only widen. It has beaten both films in the domestic territory, however. Brand New Day’s $891-million domestic haul is higher than what Endgame ($858 million) and Avatar ($749 million) managed. In this list, it is only behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which minted $936 million in the US and Canada in 2015.

All about Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Brand New Day stars Tom Holland as Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker, and also brings back Zendaya as MJ and Jacob Batalon as Ned. The film sees Peter Parker living entirely on his own as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him.
