In just over two weeks, SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY has broken multiple records.
The movie opened to a record $355M domestically ($932M worldwide), and after two weekends, it’s sitting at $655 million domestically and $1.67 billion globally, putting it at No. 12 of all time worldwide.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY secured the highest-grossing first week in domestic box office history, crossing $500M domestically in just seven days — faster than AVENGERS: ENDGAME.
During its second week in theaters, the movie grossed $145 million, which is the third-biggest second weekend of all time, trailing only THE FORCE AWAKENS and ENDGAME, Variety reported.
Additionally, BRAND NEW DAY became the second-fastest movie to cross $1 billion internationally, hitting that mark in just 12 days, according to Deadline.
So, the question now remains, when does BRAND NEW DAY release on streaming platforms?
No official date has been announced, but the web-slinger flick is now available for pre-order on Prime Video.
The last film in the Spider-Man franchise, NO WAY HOME, arrived in theaters in December 2021 and debuted on streaming platforms about three months later, TV Insider said. It remains to be seen if BRAND NEW DAY will follow a similar schedule.

Fans obviously can’t get enough of Spider-Man, and that’s probably thanks, in part, to the “old-school” approach they took to filming.
“We were really restricted with what we could do in the last movie because of COVID. We shot the entire film on stages,” and now they’re leaning into ‘old school filmmaking’ by shooting in real locations like Glasgow,” star Tom Holland said, according to Variety.
As far as the future of Spider-Man goes, the actor did spill that a plan is in the works.
“There’s a whole plan that we have been working on…since we finished SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME,” Holland said on an episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. He added that he has “a really clear vision” for eventually passing the role to another actor.
Movieguide® had a lot to say about BRAND NEW DAY, calling it “a terrific, heartfelt action adventure [with] exciting action scenes, real character development, compelling performances and many touching moments.”
“Better still, its surprise is a moral one: Peter Parker becomes a Christ figure, risking his own life to save another human being’s, and urging a villain to turn away from vengeance,” the review reads. Movieguide®, however, advises extreme caution due to foul language.
As BRAND NEW DAY continues to smash records week after week, it’s shaping up to be one of the defining blockbusters of the year — and with a streaming release likely following the same timeline as NO WAY HOME, fans won’t have to wait too long to revisit Peter Parker’s latest chapter.
