Spider-Man: Brand New Day stays No. 1 for sixth straight weekend as Hollywood scores biggest summer since 2019
At this point, someone should just hand Spider-Man the keys to the multiplex. Brand New Day has now spent six consecutive weekends perched at No. 1, a feat so rare this decade that only Avatar: The Way of Water back in 2022 has managed the same trick.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has held the top spot at the box office for an unprecedented six consecutive weekends, a milestone rarely achieved. The superhero film earned another $18 million this past weekend, with Sony anticipating $23.3 million following the full four-day Labor Day tally. The movie's lifetime worldwide earnings have reached an impressive $2.4 billion, according to the Associated Press. This achievement marks Spider-Man as the third-highest grossing film globally, surpassing Avatar 2 in just 31 days.
Secondary to the Spider-Man reign, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues to hold strong in second place. The critically acclaimed film added $13 million domestically and has now grossed over $1.63 billion globally, with a significant portion of those earnings coming from overseas markets. This marks the first time a film has surpassed $1 billion internationally since Avatar in 2009.
Together, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey have propelled Hollywood to its best summer since before the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the industry. Domestic box office revenues through August 31 reached $4.6 billion, a 26.1% increase from the previous year and edging closer to the 2013 summer record of $4.758 billion. Adjusted for inflation and higher ticket prices, the season's success is still impressive, but it falls slightly short of the 2013 record. The summer season spanned 130 days, compared to 2013's 123-day period.
