‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Set To Overtake ‘Avatar: The Way Of Water’ To Become Third-Highest Grosser Of All-Time
Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has shattered several records during its 22-day theatrical run. As the movie ended its fourth weekend, it continued its dominance and is now on track to achieve one of the biggest milestones at the box office.
With current global collections of $2.22 billion and no big competition in the coming week, the superhero film will soon surpass titles like “Titanic” ($2.26 billion), “Ne Zha 2” ($2.27 billion), and “Avatar: The Way Of Water” ($2.33 billion). It will break into the top three grossers in cinema history, as the Spidey flick will overtake the James Cameron-directorial from the third spot.
However, it will be a tough task for the movie to come close to or surpass the top 2 biggest grossers, “Avatar” ($2.92 billion) and “Avengers: Endgame” ($2.79 billion). While the film is enjoying the first spot on the list of 2026’s biggest grossers, it is expected to lose its position to another Marvel movie, “Avengers: Doomsday,” which is releasing on December 18 and poised to set new benchmarks at the worldwide box office.
