Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the Second Fastest Film to Cross $2 Billion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Sony and Marvel StudiosSpider-Man: Brand New Day is the movie juggernaut of 2026 (for now). The movie has crossed the $2 billion global mark, the second-fastest movie to do so and only eighth film to ever hit that gross.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day reached the amount in 17 days, Avengers: Endgame did it the quickest in 11 days.

It’s also the fourth highest grossing domestic film ever as of the end of its third weekend with $785.8 million. International gross is $1.236 billion for a total of $2.022 billion.

The film also has grossed the second-best third weekend domestically with an estimated $70 million. Star Wars: The Force Awakens holds the record for third weekend with $90.2 million.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing release ever in 36 markets. At this point, it’s a question if the film will be the first ever to cross $1 billion domestically.

With the bar set so high, there’s pressure on for Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday which opens on December 18. The chattering class will absolutely benchmark that film by how well Brand New Day has done and if it falls short, even if still doing very well, expect the press and grifting class to pounce.

Marvel Studios introduces its X-Men

During D23, Marvel Studios revealed the line up for its X-Men film which will arrive in theaters May 5, 2028. The date is interesting as Marvel has staked out the first weekend in May, having released numerous films during that weekend. It also aligns with Free Comic Book Day.

The X-Men cast includes:

  • Sadie Sink is Jean Grey
  • Kit Connor is Cyclops
  • Christopher Abbott is Professor Charles Xavier
  • Samara Weaving is Emma Frost
  • Inde Navarrette is Rogue
  • Maya Boyd is Storm
  • Adam Driver is Nathaniel Milbury

It looks like the X-Men will finally be taking on Mr. Sinister! Jake Schreier will direct the film and more casting will be announced!

Daredevil Born Again Season 2 with cartoonist and organizer John Leavitt

“ It’s not so much that Mayor Fisk is like [Former NYC Mayor] Eric Adams, it’s that Eric Adams is a comic book character,” — John Leavitt is a writer and cartoonist who works with the DSA Upper-Manhattan Bronx chapter and a published Marvel author with Strange Tales Volume One

I’ve been involved in New York politics for over 20 years and I’m a lifelong Daredevil reader so I was thrilled to geek out about this Disney + season him.

Marvel’s Wonder Man with Filmmaker Brandon Wilson

Marvel Disney’s recent TV series is about a struggling actor and I have the perfect guest to discuss it with me: filmmaker, life-long Los Angelino, and Marvel comics fan Brandon Wilson. Wonder Man is delightful and we’ve got a lot say about the show’s portrayals of LA, Simon Williams’s existence as a Black Haitian-American actor, the prison industrial complex, queer readings and more. You don’t need to know about Wonder Man to enjoy the show but Brandon gives us the download on Simon William’s comics history. 

Plus: the parallels with Midnight Cowboy run deeper than you think!

Spoilers marked at 20 min in.
