Sony Pictures’ fourth Tom Holland-starring Spider-Man<\/em> film has overtaken Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em> as the highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office.<\/p>\n

The Force Awakens<\/em>\u00a0was released in 2015. It has spent over a decade in the top spot at the North American box office, boasting a grand total of $936 million. Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> has officially passed the first installment in the Star Wars<\/em> sequel trilogy, currently totaling $936.773 million. This comes after only 47 days in theaters.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> has earned $2.45 billion worldwide. This makes it the third highest-grossing movie of all time. It only comes behind James Cameron’s original 2009 Avatar<\/em> film at $2.9 billion and Avengers: Endgame<\/em> at $2.7 billion.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/em> opened in theaters on July 31. It holds the record for the biggest domestic opening weekend of all time with $360 million. Along with Holland, Zendaya and Jacob Batalon also return in the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed movie.<\/p>\n

It finds Sadie Sink joining the Spider-Man<\/em> universe alongside Tramell Tillman and Liza Col\u00f3n-Zayas. Marvel mainstays who also appear in the movie are Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova\/Black Widow, Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle\/The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner\/The Hulk and Marisa Tomei as May Parker.<\/p>\n

The film follows Peter Parker as he fights full time as Spider-Man in a world who doesn’t remember who he is. As he sees his old friends move on without him, Peter sparks a change “he may not have the power to control,” according to an official description. “But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves \u2014 a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn\u2019t forgotten them.”<\/p>\n
