It’s held the record for 11 years, but it’s almost certain that not only will Spider-Man: Brand New Day pass The Force Awakens to become the highest grossing movie in US domestic box office history (currently it sits on $903,627,495, rapidly closing in on Episode VII which has $936,662,225), but as it retains the number one slot for the sixth weekend, it’s looking like it could be the first film in US box office history to reach the billion dollar milestone in the States. Globally, Spidey continues to fly high, the third higest grossing film of all time on $2,345,132,864, now with only Avengers: Endgame ($2,717,503,922, and about to be re-released later this month) and Avatar ($2,923,706,026) ahead of it.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings past the nine-century mark in 36 days, compared with Force Awakens’ 50 days. The next record for the Tom Holland-Zendaya-Sadie Sink movie: becoming the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office, unseating Force Awakens ($936.6M). The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed crowdpleaser is expected to do around $18M for the Friday-Monday stretch, per sources.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day ends its fifth week with $30.4M for a running cume through Thursday of $899.7M.
