"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" Smashes $700M in 13 Days—Faster Than "Endgame"

Tom Holland's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" hit $704.5 million in North America after just 13 days, pushing its global total to $1.8 billion. In Taiwan, it's already crowned the year's box office champion with NT$360 million.

"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" Smashes $700M in 13 Days—Faster Than "Endgame"

13 days, $704.5 million. That's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day"'s cumulative North American box office as of August 12, roughly NT$22.628 billion. This pace isn't just a hit—it makes the Tom Holland-led film the fastest movie in North American box office history to cross $700 million, beating out both "Avengers: Endgame" and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."

《蜘蛛人:重生日》13天衝破7億美元,比《終局之戰》還快

For a superhero movie, this kind of speed is news in itself. In about two weeks, a single film has wiped out records previously held by Marvel's flagship title and the Star Wars franchise. That's not just "this movie is good"—it signals that Spider-Man's current box office pull in North America has surpassed films once considered the ceiling for the genre.

$1.8 Billion Worldwide—Less Than $200 Million From $2 Billion

Zooming out globally, the numbers get even more staggering. As of the same date, August 12, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has officially crossed $1.8 billion worldwide, about NT$57.816 billion. It's less than $200 million away from the $2 billion mark, and industry watchers predict it could cross that line as early as this weekend.

The real benchmark here is 2021's "Spider-Man: No Way Home," which closed out at $1.9 billion worldwide—still the highest total in the Spider-Man franchise. With "Brand New Day" currently at $1.8 billion, it's less than $100 million from overtaking its predecessor. If the momentum holds, Tom Holland could end up breaking the box office record of his own franchise.

Taiwan Follows Suit: NT$360 Million and the Year's Top Spot

While it's raking it in overseas, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is also posting stellar numbers in Taiwan, officially crossing NT$360 million and claiming the title of Taiwan's top-grossing film of 2026. Fastest in North America, closing in on its predecessor globally, and reigning champion in Taiwan—having all three markets heat up simultaneously isn't something you see often with superhero movies these days.

With the film still going strong in Taiwanese theaters, whether it crosses $2 billion globally this weekend—and whether it ultimately overtakes "No Way Home"—will be the next big things to watch.
