Resident Evil Reboot Sets Franchise Box Office Record

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially made box office history.

The Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios blockbuster has surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office, ending a record that had stood for more than a decade.

The Tom Holland-led film has now earned approximately $936.77 million in North America, narrowly passing the $936.66 million domestic total earned by The Force Awakens. Even more impressive, Brand New Day reached the record after just 47 days in theaters.

The milestone is the latest in an extraordinary theatrical run for the fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man movie.

Brand New Day opened with $360 million domestically, setting a new record for the biggest domestic opening weekend in box office history. The film subsequently became the fastest movie ever to cross every major domestic milestone from $400 million through $900 million.

Its record-breaking performance has also extended far beyond North America. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned approximately $2.45 billion worldwide, placing it among the highest-grossing movies ever released globally.

Impressive. Most Impressive.

Lucasfilm Congratulates Spider-Man

Following the record being broken, Lucasfilm and the official Star Wars social media account acknowledged Brand New Day taking the crown from The Force Awakens.

“Impressive. Most Impressive.”

Lucasfilm then congratulated director Destin Daniel Cretton, Tom Holland, Sony Pictures, Marvel Studios and the entire Brand New Day team on setting the new domestic box office record.

The studio also shared artwork featuring Spider-Man alongside X-Wings with the message:

“The Force is strong with you! Congratulations from Lucasfilm.”

The gesture continues a long-running Hollywood tradition in which filmmakers and studios publicly congratulate one another when a major box office record changes hands.

A Record More Than a Decade in the Making

Star Wars: The Force Awakens had occupied the top spot since its historic theatrical run following its December 2015 release.

Other enormous blockbusters came close during the years that followed. Avengers: Endgame, for example, finished with more than $858 million domestically but was unable to catch The Force Awakens.

Now Spider-Man has finally done it.

And Brand New Day isn’t finished yet. The movie remains in theaters, meaning its new all-time domestic record will continue to grow.
