As of the week ending August 15, 2026, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is dominating the domestic box office, projected to earn $67 million for its third consecutive No. 1 weekend. The film is on an accelerated path to becoming the first movie to gross $1 billion in U.S. and Canadian ticket sales.
The superhero blockbuster is currently 5.6% ahead of the pace set by "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," the current domestic record holder. "Spider-Man" has already accumulated an estimated $784 million domestically through Sunday and is expected to surpass $936 million.
Globally, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" will achieve another significant milestone on Sunday by becoming the eighth film to gross $2 billion worldwide. Projections indicate it could reach $2.5 billion globally, positioning it as the third highest-grossing film in history in that category.
In parallel, Universal/Syncopy's "The Odyssey" is performing strongly, crossing $500 million domestic in its fifth weekend with an estimated $23 million. This success positions it to challenge the all-time R-rated box office record, currently held by "Deadpool & Wolverine." Christopher Nolan's latest directorial effort is also set to exceed $1.5 billion worldwide, becoming his highest-grossing film to date.
