Spider-Man: Brand New Day is already the highest-grossing movie of the year, and could beat Star Wars: The Force Awakens' all-time record at the US box office

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on a generational run at the box office. Not only did the Marvel movie beat Avengers: Endgame's all-time opening weekend record in the US, it's already become the highest-grossing movie of 2026 in less than a week. And now it could be on track to top Star Wars: The Force Awakens' all-time record haul at the US box office.

Per the number-crunchers over at the box office subreddit, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is heading towards a $150+ million second weekend at the US box office. That would put the Marvel Phase 6 movie at over $600 million in the US in less than two weeks, and on track to finally topple Star Wars: The Force Awakens' record gross of $936 million at the domestic box office.

The 2015 Star Wars movie's domestic record has proven unbeatable in over a decade. Even the likes of Avengers: Endgame and Avatar: The Way of Water haven't come close, with Endgame falling short by almost $80 million. Brand New Day, however, has taken off like a rocket ship and blown past even the most optimistic box office projections, all despite having no IMAX screens on opening weekend thanks to The Odyssey. Though if you want to see Spider-Man: Brand New Day on the biggest screen possible, you'll finally be able to this weekend.

Audiences, evidently, can't get enough of Spider-Man as Brand New Day became the highest-grossing movie of the year this week, sailing past Toy Story 5 after just six days on release. That's good news for Marvel, as Kevin Feige recently revealed that Sadie Sink's [redacted character] has "immense significance" and will play a "key role in the future of the MCU." Another person hoping to return is Scorpion actor Michael Mando, who says we've only seen "level one" of Scorpion's potential, with the final level being "the ultimate form of Venom."
