Spider-Man: Brand New Day is closing in on another box-office milestone, with its fourth weekend expected to add enough cash to push its worldwide haul beyond $2.1 billion. That run would put the Marvel adventure ahead of two major Disney franchises and further cement its place among Hollywood’s biggest modern hits as it continues to dominate the theatrical landscape.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s fourth weekend will send it past Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The film is projected to collect about $35 million domestically and another $85 million worldwide during its fourth frame. According to a report from Deadline, that represents roughly a 50% drop in North America. This hold compares favorably with the performance of Avengers: Endgame during the same point in its historic run.
That $85 million global weekend could prove especially important for the studio. Once the new money lands, the film should move past the lifetime worldwide grosses of both Avengers: Infinity War and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The latter remains a historic benchmark in North America, where it became the first movie to cross $900 million.
It is impressive to see a modern release maintain such momentum in a crowded marketplace. While the film is unlikely to catch the all-time global leaders like Avatar or Avengers: Endgame, crossing the $2.1 billion threshold is a massive achievement. It highlights the enduring power of the Spider-Man franchise and its ability to draw audiences back to theaters repeatedly.
Record-breaking performance
The superhero film has already smashed one domestic record by reaching $800 million in just 19 days. Deadline reported that the achievement was reached earlier this week, making it the fastest movie ever to reach that figure in the U.S. and Canada. Its fourth weekend will not challenge American Sniper’s $89.3 million fourth-frame record or Avatar’s $50.3 million haul, but the overall run remains formidable.
The weekend also brings fresh competition from Insidious: Out of the Further, which targets $23 million to $27 million domestically and $49 million to $53 million worldwide. Even with a new horror challenger sharing premium screens, the web-slinger is expected to remain on top. The film continues to prove that audiences are still eager for major theatrical spectacles, even as the summer season begins to wind down.
As the film continues its run, it will be interesting to see how much higher it can climb before the end of its theatrical window. For now, it stands as one of the most successful entries in recent cinematic history.
