‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Officially Swings Toward Its Biggest Box Office Milestone Yet



[

After a tough year for the MCU in 2025, with the likes of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Thunderbolts*, and Captain America: Brave New World all disappointing in one way or another, cinema’s biggest franchise has staged a superhuman comeback this summer. After debuting in late July, Spider-Man: Brand New Day — the final MCU stop ahead of Avengers: Doomsday this December — has smashed a jaw-dropping number of records as it defied even the highest of expectations.

In less than one week, the so-called “best Spidey adventure in 20 years” earned the biggest opening weekend in domestic history, the biggest ever in previews, the biggest first week haul of all time, and became the second-fastest film to reach the $1 billion mark worldwide. This was all before many had even had the chance to see it. Then came a second weekend that, once again, defied expectation, as Brand New Day earned the third-biggest second weekend haul of all time, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Endgame.

Just as it seems we might be able to catch our breath, another major record rears its head. After becoming the highest-grossing Hollywood film in Indian history in just 10 days, Brand New Day currently boasts a global haul of $1.672 billion, comprising $654 million in domestic revenue and an additional $1.017 billion from overseas markets. This means that the film is already the 11th highest-grossing movie of all time, with a gap of just $26 million to bridge before officially joining the elite top ten. All that sits in Brand New Day‘s way is the $1.698 billion-grossing Inside Out 2.

Your Hero Has Been Identified
Your MCU Hero Is…

Based on your answers, the Marvel hero who matches your spirit, values, and instincts has been revealed.


Queens, New York

🕷️ Spider-Man

You carry the weight of the world on shoulders that are younger than they should have to be — funny, loyal, and endlessly self-sacrificing.

  • You do the right thing not because it’s easy, but because no one else will.
  • You understand that responsibility isn’t a burden you choose — it’s one that finds you.
  • Whether it’s a neighbourhood mugging or a multiverse crisis, you show up.
  • Peter Parker’s lesson — that great power demands great responsibility — isn’t a slogan to you. It’s the code you live by, even when it costs you everything.


Hell’s Kitchen, New York

😈 Daredevil

You fight in the shadows between law and chaos, guided by a fierce moral compass that refuses to let the guilty walk free.

  • You use every tool available — your mind, your body, your faith — to protect those the system overlooks.
  • You’ve looked into the darkness and chosen not to become it, though the line has never been easy.
  • Matt Murdock’s duality — champion in the courtroom, devil in the alley — mirrors your own.
  • Relentless, conflicted, and unwilling to stop. That is exactly you.


Stark Industries, Malibu

🤖 Iron Man

Brilliant, driven, and occasionally insufferable — but always the person who solves the unsolvable problem.

  • You lead with your mind and back it up with resources, innovation, and a stubbornness that borders on heroic.
  • You started out looking out for yourself, but somewhere along the way the world became your responsibility.
  • Tony Stark’s arc — from ego to sacrifice — is your arc too.
  • You build, you plan, and when the moment comes, you’re willing to give everything. Because in the end, you’re Iron Man.


New York City

💀 The Punisher

You’ve been through fire that would break most people — and it did change you, completely. What’s left is unyielding, relentless, and operating by a code forged in grief.

  • You don’t ask for forgiveness, and you don’t expect gratitude.
  • You see a corrupt, broken world and you’ve decided to do something about it, consequences be damned.
  • Frank Castle’s war is born from love twisted by loss — and so is yours.
  • Uncompromising and unflinching — the world may not agree with your methods, but your conviction is absolute.


Asgard · Protector of the Nine Realms

⚡ Thor

Powerful, proud, and on a lifelong journey to become worthy of the legend you carry.

  • You lead with strength but have learned — sometimes painfully — that true greatness comes from humility and growth.
  • You’re larger than life, yet more vulnerable than you let on.
  • Thor’s story is one of transformation: from arrogant prince to worthy king, from isolated warrior to beloved protector.
  • You bring the storm when it’s needed — and the warmth when it matters just as much.


Brooklyn, New York · The Avengers

🛡️ Captain America

You believe in something bigger than yourself — and you fight for it even when the world has moved on and nobody else will.

  • You don’t bully the small guy, and you never stop when it gets hard.
  • Steve Rogers didn’t become a hero when he got the serum — he was always one. So were you.
  • Your strength isn’t in your fists; it’s in your refusal to compromise what’s right, no matter the cost.
  • In a world full of people taking the easy road, you’re the one who picks up the shield and stands up — every single time.

When Will We See Tom Holland Again?

It has been a hugely busy month for Holland, as he starred in both of, not just this summer, but the year’s biggest films so far. Alongside Brand New Day, Holland also featured heavily in Christopher Nolan‘s historical epic The Odyssey, which has now become the great director’s biggest movie of all time. Understandably, following such a busy period, the 30-year-old British actor doesn’t have anything upcoming. In fact, Marvel Studios Producer and President Kevin Feige has said, “he’s going to rest after that global tour. He and Zendaya are going to take a good and restful victory lap, which they very much deserve.”

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is in theaters now. Stay tuned to Collider for more box office updates.
