Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s record $355–360 million domestic opening in late July, the second-largest ever behind Avengers: Endgame, immediately positioned it as a frontrunner to challenge Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ long-standing $936.7 million all-time North American gross. Strong critical reception for its mature tone and Tom Holland’s performance, combined with robust word-of-mouth and minimal summer competition, fueled exceptional legs that saw the film reach $800 million domestically in a record 19 days and $900 million faster than any prior release. Ongoing box-office updates through August and early September confirmed its trajectory past TFA’s 2015 benchmark, with traders closely tracking daily grosses and re-release potential amid its $2.45 billion worldwide haul.
