Spider-Man: Brand New Day Lands Sixth No. 1, Tops $2.4 Billion Worldwide

Q: Will Spider-Man's historic box office run finally dethrone Star Wars as the highest-grossing domestic film of all time?

Yes — barring an unexpected late collapse, *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* is poised to overtake *Star Wars: The Force Awakens* as the highest-grossing domestic release of all time. The key reason is simple math. *Brand New Day* has already crossed $900 million in North America, while *The Force Awakens* stands at about $936.7 million. Most weekend projections for Labor Day put *Spider-Man* between roughly $22 million and $24.5 million over four days, which would leave it either just short of the record or within immediate striking distance. The supporting evidence is strong. The film is holding No. 1 for a sixth straight weekend, a rare feat, and trade coverage says it is “expected to soon surpass” the *Star Wars* mark. One forecast cited in the search material would push it near $924 million by Monday, while others indicate it could continue adding enough weekday business to clear $936.7 million shortly after the holiday. Its momentum also remains unusually durable for a film this deep into release. It has already reached more than $2.33 billion worldwide and become only the second movie ever to top $900 million domestically. With no major Labor Day breakout challenging it and the frame otherwise quiet, the path to the record looks clear. The only real uncertainty is timing. It may not definitively pass *The Force Awakens* by the end of the four-day weekend, but all available projections indicate it is likely to do so very soon after.
