Tom Holland’s 'Spider Man: Brand New Day' is still No. 1 after six weeks

Tom Holland’s superhero sequel has now passed $917m domestically, with Labor Day earnings pushing it higher

'Spider Man: Brand New Day' has officially turned its summer run into a box office marathon, with Tom Holland’s latest outing holding the No. 1 position in North America for a sixth consecutive weekend. The Marvel and Sony blockbuster collected an estimated $18 million across the traditional Friday to Sunday frame, according to box office data, putting its domestic total at about $917.8 million before the Labor Day holiday.

The film was also projected to add roughly $5.3 million on Labor Day itself, taking its domestic haul to approximately $923 million. That keeps the superhero sequel firmly within striking distance of the $936 million earned domestically by Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015, a figure that 'Spider Man: Brand New Day' is positioned to challenge as its theatrical run continues.

The sixth consecutive weekend at No. 1 is particularly notable because very few recent blockbusters have managed such sustained dominance. Avatar: The Way of Water previously spent seven straight weekends at the top in 2022, meaning Holland’s Peter Parker is now only one weekend away from matching that run.

The latest figures also underline the scale of the film’s international performance. Spider Man: Brand New Day has accumulated roughly $2.4 billion worldwide, placing it among the biggest theatrical releases ever recorded. The film sits behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame on the global chart while remaining ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water.

The result has arrived during a surprisingly strong summer for cinemas. According to Variety, domestic ticket sales from May through early September reached approximately $4.73 billion, making the 2026 summer season the second biggest on record when figures are not adjusted for inflation. The total came close to the $4.755 billion mark recorded in 2013.

Several major releases helped drive that resurgence, including The Odyssey, Toy Story 5 and The Devil Wears Prada 2, alongside smaller films that performed strongly despite modest expectations. At the same time, some expensive studio releases struggled to find audiences, creating a summer defined by sharp contrasts at the box office.

For Spider Man: Brand New Day, the timing has been especially favourable. The film remained ahead during the Labor Day weekend while several new releases failed to generate significant momentum. Paramount’s By Any Means opened in fourth place with $7.4 million for the traditional weekend, while Fall 2: Deadpoint debuted with $2.3 million and Onslaught opened with $1.8 million.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey continued to perform strongly in second place, adding $13 million during the weekend for a domestic total approaching $585 million. Coyote vs. Acme followed in third place with $11.3 million during its second weekend, showing a comparatively strong hold after its opening frame.

The biggest question surrounding Spider Man: Brand New Day now concerns how far its theatrical run can climb. With its domestic total already above $917 million before the Labor Day boost and its worldwide haul around $2.4 billion, the film has entered territory normally reserved for the biggest franchise events. Its continued presence at the top also gives cinemas a major draw as the summer movie season gives way to the autumn release calendar.
