The latest installment in the Marvel superhero franchise reached a worldwide total of $2.022 billion, consolidating its position as one of the biggest cinematic releases of 2026. The rapid achievement places the film among the highest-grossing theatrical productions in history.
With its $2.022 billion box office tally, the new film officially passed the $1.952 billion earned by Spider-Man: No Way Home in 2021. The achievement makes it the top-earning release in the history of the Spider-Man film franchise.

Ahead of the movie's launch in theaters, lead actors Tom Holland and Zendaya sent an emotional greeting to fans in Peru, asking how the country was doing prior to the premiere.
Elite Group of Multi-Billion-Dollar Hits
The milestone makes Spider-Man: Brand New Day only the eighth film in history to cross the $2 billion threshold worldwide. The exclusive list of multi-billion-dollar hits is led by James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi blockbuster Avatar, which stands at nearly $2.9 billion in total earnings.
Marvel Studios' 2019 superhero film Avengers: Endgame holds the second spot overall with $2.799 billion, followed by Cameron's 2022 sequel Avatar: The Way of Water with $2.320 billion.
