Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios have officially surpassed $1.155 billion USD at the global box office with Spider-Man: Brand New Day in just seven days of release. The Tom Holland and Zendaya-led feature has supplanted Disney’s Toy Story 5 to become the highest-grossing movie of 2026.

The rapid box office run includes $449 million USD earned domestically and $706.3 million USD internationally. Along the way, the film has broken multiple theatrical benchmarks, generating the highest-grossing Tuesday in domestic history with $42 million USD, topping 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home ($39 million USD). That record follows the film’s historic $47 million USD Monday, which surpassed 2018’s Black Panther ($40 million USD).

The superhero sequel previously established itself as the fastest film to reach $400 million USD in North America, reaching the milestone in four days. It also stands as the second-fastest movie to hit $1 billion USD globally, achieving the feat in six days—behind only 2019’s Avengers: Endgame. The feature debuted to a record $360 million USD domestically and $932 million USD worldwide during its opening weekend.

Reflecting on the milestone, Sony Pictures Chairman Tom Rothman noted the theatrical momentum, while Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige credited the enduring global resonance of Peter Parker and Holland’s performance in the role.
