Spider-Man: Brand New Day dominates the late summer box office
Sony's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" topped the North American box office for six consecutive weeks, becoming only the second film this decade to achieve that streak. The film grossed $18 million over the weekend of September 5-6, 2026, bringing its worldwide total to $2.4 billion. The strong summer box office, driven by blockbusters including "Spider-Man" and Universal's "The Odyssey," totaled $4.6 billion domestically through August 31, a 26.1% increase from the prior year.
