Box Office: "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" Scores the Third-Biggest Second Weekend of All Time With $145 Million

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is continuing its rare box office run: the film added another $145 million domestically in its second weekend.

To put that number in context: only one film this year, "Toy Story 5," managed to make that much ($159 million) in its entire opening weekend. "Brand New Day" thus posted the third-biggest second weekend of all time, trailing only 2015's "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($149 million) and 2019's "Avengers: Endgame" ($147 million). Only eight films in history have ever crossed $100 million in their second weekend.

After a record domestic opening of $355 million and a global start of $932 million, the film has now reached $655 million in North America and $1.67 billion worldwide. Starring Tom Holland, it crossed the billion-dollar mark in just six days and is rapidly closing in on $2 billion. At this pace, box office watchers are debating whether "Spidey" could become the first film to top $1 billion domestically and the only one to reach $3 billion globally. The current domestic record stands at $936.6 million for "The Force Awakens," while globally, 2009's "Avatar" ($2.9 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.7 billion) remain on top.

Second place on the domestic chart still belongs to "The Odyssey," holding strong with $31.5 million in its fourth weekend, down just 38%. With $461 million domestic and $1.1 billion worldwide, the film has surpassed "The Dark Knight Rises" ($1.08 billion) and "The Dark Knight" ($1.008 billion) to become Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film of all time. Imax screenings are sold out through mid-September; the format alone has brought in $289 million, toppling "Avatar"'s $271 million Imax record. The film hasn't even opened in China yet.

Three new releases that opened in the shadow of these two giants disappointed. Universal's romantic comedy "One Night Only" took third place with $5.7 million from 3,012 theaters; "Super Troopers 3" made $4 million from 2,760 theaters, the franchise's weakest opening yet; and Eli Roth's slasher "Ice Cream Man" managed only $2 million from 1,671 screens.

On the indie side, the picture is brighter: A24's Anthony Bourdain biopic "Tony" scored one of the year's best averages, earning $348,955 from just six theaters ($58,159 per theater). Jane Schoenbrun's "Teenage Sex and Death and Camp Miasma" took in $251,000 from five theaters, while Willem Dafoe's "Late Fame" earned $38,000 from two theaters.
