Spider-Man beats Avatar 2 in 31 days to become the third-biggest film in history
Dubai: Tom Holland's Spider-Man has done in 31 days what took James Cameron more than a year. Spider-Man: Brand New Day passed Avatar: The Way of Water over the weekend to become the third-highest-grossing film in cinema history, with a global total of about $2.33 billion after five weekends in cinemas.

In just 31 days, Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has surpassed the $2 billion mark, becoming the third-highest-grossing film in cinema history, according to the source. Only Avatar: The Way of Water and Avengers: Endgame have managed to surpass it so far. The speed at which the film achieved this feat is remarkable, as it took Avatar over a year to reach the same figure.
The movie has been dismantling the top ten film lists, passing Titanic and Ne Zha 2 in sequence, becoming the first film to break the $2 billion mark. The domestic performance of the film is particularly impressive, as it has been the number one film in North America for 31 consecutive days, raking in $891.5 million. This performance has put it second on the all-time domestic list, behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Overseas, the film has earned $1.44 billion, with a significant portion coming from China, Japan, the UK, and India, accounting for 62% of its total revenue. While it is still behind Avatar and Endgame in terms of global earnings, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on track to catch up, and its domestic success suggests it may surpass both of those records in the near future.
