‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Tops Box Office for Fourth Weekend as Global Total Hits $2.22 Billion

The Spider-Man Brand New Day box office run remained dominant over the weekend ending August 23, with the Sony and Marvel Studios release earning an estimated $39 million in the United States and Canada and holding the No. 1 position for a fourth consecutive weekend. The result pushed Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man film to approximately $854.9 million domestically and about $2.22 billion worldwide, extending one of the year’s biggest theatrical performances.

The latest figures represent a meaningful new benchmark for a film that was already deep into blockbuster territory. The Associated Press reported the fourth-weekend result based on Sunday studio estimates, while industry tracking showed the film continuing to lead a marketplace that also included the opening of Sony’s Insidious: Out of the Further and the ongoing run of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.

Spider-Man Brand New Day box office stays No. 1 for a fourth weekend

Brand New Day earned its estimated $39 million from 4,006 North American theaters during the Friday-through-Sunday frame. Boxoffice Pro’s weekend analysis placed the total domestic weekend market at roughly $129.9 million, with Spider-Man still comfortably ahead of the competition.

The result is notable not simply because the film remained in first place, but because it did so after four weekends of unusually large grosses. New theatrical releases normally have their strongest commercial moment during opening weekend and then lose screens and audience share as fresh titles arrive. Brand New Day has continued generating blockbuster-level revenue even after that initial surge.

For readers following the film’s earlier performance, The Showbiz Journal previously reported when the Spider-Man box office run reached approximately $1.67 billion after its second weekend. The latest numbers represent a substantial additional gain rather than a repackaging of that earlier milestone.

Domestic estimates from The Numbers’ daily box-office tracking placed the film at about $854.9 million through Sunday, August 23. Because Sunday figures are initially estimates, small revisions can occur when final studio numbers are reported.

The worldwide total has climbed to about $2.22 billion

The film’s global performance has been even larger. TheWrap reported a $2.22 billion worldwide total after four weekends, placing the film among the relatively small group of releases that have crossed the $2 billion threshold.

That represents more than half a billion dollars in additional worldwide box office since The Showbiz Journal’s second-weekend report. It also gives Sony another major commercial milestone from a film that began breaking records as soon as it entered theaters.

Sony itself documented the scale of that launch earlier in August. According to Sony Group’s opening-weekend statement, Brand New Day began its theatrical run with $360 million domestically and $932 million worldwide, including what the company described as the largest domestic opening weekend on record.

The continued performance matters because enormous opening weekends do not automatically guarantee sustained theatrical demand. The fourth-weekend result indicates that audiences have continued showing up after the initial fan rush and premium-format launch period.

August has become an unusually strong month for theaters

Brand New Day has also become central to a broader August box-office story. Industry reporting estimates that overall domestic grosses for August had reached approximately $1.1 billion through August 23, already an unusually large total for a month that often marks the transition out of the peak summer season.

The Spider-Man film has contributed a substantial share of that business. That matters to exhibitors because August historically can lose momentum as studios move beyond their biggest early-summer releases and audiences turn toward the fall calendar.

This year has unfolded differently. Brand New Day has continued drawing large audiences while The Odyssey, Insidious: Out of the Further and other releases have helped keep the overall theatrical market active.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man enters another commercial tier

The latest milestone further separates Holland’s current Spider-Man chapter from an ordinary franchise sequel. The film reunites Holland with Zendaya and adds performers including Sadie Sink, Jon Bernthal, Tramell Tillman, Michael Mando and Mark Ruffalo. Sony’s official film site lists Destin Daniel Cretton as director, with Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers credited as writers.

What happens next will depend on how quickly the film declines as the late-August and early-fall release calendar grows more crowded. Sunday box-office numbers should also be treated as estimates until final figures are released.

The broader trajectory, however, is already clear. Four weekends after opening, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still the top film in North America, its domestic gross is approaching $900 million, and its global total has moved beyond $2.2 billion. The latest weekend is not merely another incremental update. It confirms that one of 2026’s biggest openings has developed into one of its biggest sustained theatrical runs.
