The Avengers may have saved the universe, but Spider-Man just beat them at the box office.
Seven years ago, the Avengers defeated Thanos, saved half the universe, and turned Avengers: Endgame into a $858.3 million domestic blockbuster. Now a guy in red-and-blue spandex has come along to knock them down to a peg.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned $3.4 million as of its fourth Monday, bringing its domestic total to $858.4 million and putting it just ahead of Endgame in the all-time domestic box office rankings.
The movie is now headed toward $900 million domestically, a milestone only Star Wars: The Force Awakens has previously approached. It is about $41.6 million away from reaching that mark and roughly $78 million behind The Force Awakens’s $936.7 million domestic record.
That would be an extraordinary run for any movie, but Brand New Day has been setting records since opening weekend. Its $360 million domestic debut surpassed Endgame’s record for the biggest opening weekend ever in North America. The movie also crossed $2 billion worldwide in fewer than three weeks, making it the second-fastest film to reach that mark behind — naturally — Endgame. It is only the eighth movie to join the $2 billion club.
22 billion worldwide, making it the fifth highest-grossing film ever . It has passed Avengers: Infinity War and Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the global charts and is closing in on Titanic and Avatar: The Way of Water .
