Spider-Man: Brand New Day holds No. 1 for a sixth weekend at $2.4 billion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day took in an estimated $18 million in North America from Friday to Sunday, 4 to 6 September, and remained the weekend's top film for the sixth week running. Sony projected $23.3 million for the four-day Labor Day holiday. The domestic total now sits near $918 million. Worldwide the film has passed $2.4 billion.

Only one film this decade has led the domestic chart for longer: Avatar: The Way of Water, which held for seven weekends in 2022. Brand New Day opened on 31 July to $360.1 million and $169.8 million on its first Friday. It has not left first place since. Weekend five was $22.5 million. Weekend six fell 20 percent to $18 million in 3,520 theatres, a shallow drop for a film in its second month.

The domestic record is still Star Wars: The Force Awakens at $936 million. Brand New Day is close enough that a few more weeks of hold would overtake it. Globally it has already passed Avatar: The Way of Water and sits behind Avatar at about $2.9 billion and Avengers: Endgame at about $2.7 billion. The Numbers puts production cost at $225 million. The worldwide multiple on that budget is above ten.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey stayed second, adding $13 million domestically and reaching about $1.63 billion worldwide. Coyote vs. Acme took $11.3 million in third. By Any Means did $7.4 million. Insidious: Out of the Further did $6.5 million. A 20th-anniversary reissue of Cars added $6.1 million.

Tom Holland's fourth standalone Spider-Man film is the title that closed Hollywood's summer. The industry's useful comparison is not the opening weekend, which was always going to be large, but the sixth-weekend hold. Superhero films of the past five years have usually been gone from first place by week three. Brand New Day is still collecting $5,000 per theatre on Labor Day weekend. That is the number exhibitors will remember when they argue for longer exclusive windows.

Whether the film actually passes Force Awakens depends on the next two frames and on how many screens remain after mid-September releases. At $918 million domestic and a 20 percent dip, the arithmetic is simple: two more weekends like this one would be enough. Sony has not announced a new stop date.

The summer stack behind it is also large. The Odyssey's $1.63 billion means two films above a billion dollars shared the same eight weeks. That crowding did not knock Holland off the top. For studio planners the lesson is crude and specific: a Spider-Man picture released at the end of July can still be the Labor Day story.
