It has already passed a Star Wars movie

The new Spider-Man film, Brand New Day, has now passed Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens to become the sixth highest-grossing release in cinema history.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, reached $2.22 billion worldwide after a fourth weekend at the top of the North American box office.

According to figures reported by The Hollywood Reporter and Variety's weekend box office report, Sony's Marvel blockbuster took a further $39 million domestically.

Where Brand New Day now sits on the all-time chart

While The Force Awakens has dropped to seventh on $2.07 billion, ahead of the Tom Holland film sit Titanic in fifth on $2.26 billion and Ne Zha 2 in fourth on $2.27 billion, both now within touching distance.

A running total of $854.9 million through Sunday takes the film past 2021's Spider-Man: No Way Home and into third on the all-time North American chart.

A week earlier it had already become Sony's biggest global release.

Spidey held off two newcomers, and the film directly behind it is a Sony release too.

Insidious: Out of the Further opened second with $25.3 million from 3,330 North American cinemas, taking the horror franchise past $800 million in total and landing a C+ CinemaScore, matching 2023's Insidious: The Red Door as the series' lowest grade.

Lionsgate's Jason Statham action-thriller Mutiny and Black Bear's comedy Spa Weekend placed much lower down the chart.

Insidious has a clear run, with no major studio horror release for the next four weeks.

For Sony, the question is how much higher Brand New Day can climb before autumn: a strong few weeks would put fourth place in reach, in a year that has already delivered a $1.35 billion haul for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey.
