Spider-Man: Brand New Day is still sitting comfortably at No. 1 three weekends into its theatrical run. Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man movie has now crossed $2 billion worldwide while helping push Hollywood’s summer box office ahead of its 2019 pace.
According to The Associated Press, the Sony Pictures release added an estimated $70 million from theaters in the United States and Canada over the weekend, bringing its domestic total to $785.8 million. Another $118.7 million came from international markets during the frame.
That pushed Brand New Day to approximately $2.02 billion worldwide. It is only the eighth movie to reach $2 billion without adjusting for inflation and did so in roughly 18 days, making it the second-fastest film ever to the milestone behind 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, which needed 11 days.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey remained in second place with another $23.2 million domestically, and the combined strength of major releases has pushed summer 2026 ticket revenue above the comparable point in the pre-pandemic summer of 2019.
Spider-Man Is Still No. 1 Three Weekends Later
Box Office Mojo currently lists the movie at $785.8 million domestically, $1.236 billion internationally and $2.022 billion worldwide. Its domestic total has already edged past Avatar‘s unadjusted lifetime haul and trails only Spider-Man: No Way Home, Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Force Awakens on the domestic chart.
Its $70 million third weekend follows a record-setting $360.1 million domestic opening at the beginning of August. The movie also reached $1 billion worldwide after only six days.
The climb to $2 billion took roughly 18 days. The other films to have crossed the threshold include Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Ne Zha 2, Avatar: The Way of Water, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War. Only Endgame got there faster.
Summer 2026 Has Moved Ahead of the Comparable 2019 Period
The broader summer box office has now generated more than $4.2 billion in domestic ticket sales, according to the AP’s weekend report. That puts summer 2026 approximately 5.7% ahead of the comparable point in the summer of 2019, the last full pre-pandemic summer. Entertainment Weekly, citing Rentrak data, reported that the current summer is also running 19.4% ahead of the same period in 2025.
Rentrak’s Paul Dergarabedian told the AP that the marketplace is on course for a top-five domestic summer. The record remains the approximately $4.76 billion generated in summer 2013, leaving several weeks for the 2026 total to continue climbing.
The Odyssey has been another major contributor. Nolan’s film added $23.2 million domestically in its fifth weekend, taking its North American total to approximately $504.7 million in the AP’s Sunday estimates. International markets added another $98 million over the weekend, helped by the film’s launch in China, pushing its worldwide total comfortably beyond $1.2 billion.
Higher Revenue Does Not Mean Attendance Is Fully Back
The summer numbers come with an important qualification. Beating 2019’s box-office revenue at this point in the summer does not mean the same number of people are going to theaters as they did before the pandemic.
Reuters reported earlier in August that theaters sold an estimated 470.9 million tickets during the first 30 weeks of 2026, compared with 747.3 million during the equivalent stretch of 2019. Reuters also reported that theater foot traffic through July remained about 27% below 2019 levels.
Higher prices and premium formats are helping revenue recover even while attendance remains lower. Reuters cited an average adult ticket price of $13.46 through July 30, with premium-format tickets averaging $18.22.
