Its $2.4 billion global run is extraordinary, but ‘Avengers: Endgame’ remains safely ahead worldwide.* By CinePixo, 2026-09-07 · Industry ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ remained No. 1 at the domestic box office for a sixth consecutive weekend, earning an estimated $18 million from Friday through Sunday on September 4-6. Sony projected $23.3 million across the four-day Labor Day frame, according to Good Morning America. That puts Destin Daniel Cretton’s film within striking distance of the unadjusted North American record held by ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ — a result that matters far more than another routine weekend win. The distinction is important: ‘Brand New Day’ is nearing the domestic record set by ‘The Force Awakens,’ not one held by ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ Deadline reported that the Spider-Man sequel would reach about $923 million domestically through Monday, leaving $13.66 million between it and ‘The Force Awakens’ at $936.66 million. ## Spider-Man Has Owned the Domestic Chart for Six Weekends Six weekends at No. 1 is rare territory even for a superhero film built to dominate multiplexes. Good Morning America reported that ‘Brand New Day’ is only the second movie this decade to manage the feat, after ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ in 2022. The run began with a record already falling. International Business Times Australia, citing Deadline, reported a $360.1 million opening from 4,487 North American theaters, narrowly passing the $357.1 million debut of ‘Avengers: Endgame.’ It then took ‘Brand New Day’ 36 days to cross $900 million domestically, compared with 50 days for ‘The Force Awakens,’ according to the same report. Those figures give the sixth weekend its weight. An $18 million three-day gross would look modest beside that opening, but remaining in first place this late means the film has kept collecting while newer releases failed to dislodge it. The superhero event did not vanish after the rush; it settled in. ![Kate Winslet at the premiere of Labor Day, Toronto Film Festival 2013](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/b0f0fe96-2f4a-4f28-b153-b02ab60be72e.webp) *Photo: GabboT · [CC BY-SA 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kate_Winslet_at_the_premiere_of_Labor_Day,_Toronto_Film_Festival_2013_-a.jpg)* ## The Force Awakens Record Is Now the Real Target Deadline placed the film at $917.8 million domestically through Sunday and projected $923 million through Labor Day. ‘The Force Awakens’ has held the unadjusted North American record at $936.66 million since its 2015 release. That leaves a small enough gap for the record to feel probable, though the available weekend reporting does not establish the exact day it will fall. International Business Times Australia described the timing as uncertain while noting that several trackers expected ‘Brand New Day’ to pass the mark. The “unadjusted” qualifier belongs in every honest version of this story. These totals count dollars collected, without correcting for ticket-price inflation. Within that measurement, Spider-Man is close to taking a record that has lasted more than a decade. ![Tom Lipinski at the premiere of Labor Day, Toronto Film Festival 2013](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/53441c07-b502-4eee-864f-302006e874f8.webp) *Photo: GabboT · [CC BY-SA 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tom_Lipinski_at_the_premiere_of_Labor_Day,_Toronto_Film_Festival_2013_(1).jpg)* ![Tom Lipinski at the premiere of Labor Day, Toronto Film Festival 2013](https://pokemon-dive.us-lax-4.linodeobjects.com/cinepixo/posts/2026/09/af27d5d6-91d8-48da-8da7-2afbeafec820.webp) *Photo: GabboT · [CC BY-SA 2.0](https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0) · [source](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tom_Lipinski_at_the_premiere_of_Labor_Day,_Toronto_Film_Festival_2013_(2).jpg)* ## Avengers: Endgame Is Still Out of Reach Worldwide The global table tells a different story. Deadline reported that ‘Brand New Day’ had reached $2.4 billion worldwide, including $1.485 billion from international markets. That makes it the third-highest-grossing film globally, behind ‘Avatar’ at $2.9 billion and ‘Avengers: Endgame’ at $2.799 billion. Deadline judged the gap to ‘Endgame’ too large for ‘Brand New Day’ to close. So the clean reading is split: Spider-Man has a serious chance to claim the domestic crown from ‘The Force Awakens,’ while third place worldwide is likely its final position. There is no disappointment in $2.4 billion, especially for a film still producing a $44.1 million worldwide sixth weekend. But records are specific things. Swapping ‘Endgame’ for ‘The Force Awakens’ turns a remarkable run into an inaccurate one. ## The Odyssey Won the World While Spider-Man Held Home Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ finally moved ahead of ‘Brand New Day’ at the global weekend box office. Deadline reported $45.96 million worldwide for ‘The Odyssey’ in its eighth weekend, compared with Spider-Man’s $44.1 million. It was the first weekend since ‘Brand New Day’ opened on July 31 that Nolan’s film finished above it globally. Domestic audiences kept the order reversed. ‘Brand New Day’ earned $18 million over three days, while ‘The Odyssey’ took $13 million, according to Deadline. The two films also share Tom Holland and Zendaya, giving the weekend an unusual symmetry: the same pair anchored the domestic winner and the global winner. Nolan’s film had reached $1.627 billion worldwide, with $584.7 million coming from domestic theaters. Spider-Man remained far ahead in cumulative sales, and its Labor Day result helped a summer domestic season that reached $4.6 billion through August 31, up 26.1% from 2025, according to Rentrak data reported by the Associated Press and cited by Good Morning America. One number now carries the suspense into September: $936.66 million, the mark Spider-Man still has to catch. ## How this piece was made **Format:** Editorial feature ## In this piece - 2013 · [Labor Day](https://cinepixo.com/movies/labor-day-2013) ## Sources - https://www.msn.com/en-us/entertainment/movies/spider-man-brand-new-day-continues-box-office-reign-over-labor-day/ar-AA2bGuFJ - https://www.primetimer.com/features/spider-man-brand-new-day-refuses-to-yield-no-1-box-office-spot-in-historic-sixth-frame - https://deadline.com/2026/09/box-office-global-odyssey-beats-spider-man-brand-new-day-1237069465/ - https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/culture/story/spider-man-brand-new-day-tops-box-office-136242162 - https://www.ibtimes.com.au/spider-man-brand-new-day-box-office-record-1875122 - https://apnews.com/article/box-office-spiderman-odyssey-0985d43deebda5f5721267b51104ef4c - https://www.themovieblog.com/2026/09/spider-man-brand-new-day-leads-global-box-office-race/ - https://jang.com.pk/en/71721-spider-man-brand-new-day-delivers-another-box-office-knockout-as-insidious-6-impresses-news Every factual claim above is drawn from these.
