Spider-Man: New Day has overtaken previous Marvel Cinematic Universe releases at the global box office, with total earnings now exceeding $1.45 billion.
The film has surpassed Avengers: Age of Ultron, which made $1.4 billion, putting it in the top four highest-grossing Marvel movies. New Day now trails only three superhero releases: Spider-Man: No Way Home ($1.926 billion), Avengers: Infinity War ($2.04 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.79 billion).
Box office outlook
Analysts previously said the film's total box office haul would reach $2 billion, meaning it has a real chance of finishing among Marvel's three highest-grossing films.
