Spider-Man: Brand New Day maintained its commanding position at the box office, earning $144.5 million domestically during its second weekend. The Sony-Marvel film has accumulated $1.67 billion worldwide in its first ten days of release, establishing itself among the highest-grossing films ever and setting a new domestic earnings record for any film at this stage of its theatrical run. Domestically, the film has generated $655.1 million, while its international total has already exceeded $1 billion.
The film surpassed the previous year’s box office leader, Toy Story 5, in just seven days. During its second weekend, Brand New Day came close to matching the second-weekend record held by The Force Awakens, which earned $149.2 million in 2015. The performance represents a milestone for Sony, as no previous studio release had crossed the $100 million threshold during its sophomore frame in theaters.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey also achieved significant success, crossing the $1 billion global threshold. In its fourth weekend, the Universal Pictures release added $31.5 million domestically to reach a $1.1 billion worldwide total. This marks Nolan’s highest-grossing film to date, surpassing his previous record holder The Dark Knight Rises at $1.08 billion. The film has particularly resonated with IMAX audiences, becoming the format’s highest-grossing domestic release with $147.3 million on large screens.
The strong performance of both films has contributed to Hollywood’s robust 2026 box office year, with ticket sales running 18.5% ahead of the prior year. Summer theatrical revenue is expected to surpass $4 billion, a threshold last achieved in 2023. Five films have already crossed the $1 billion mark globally, more than any year since 2019, alongside Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.
