New version of Spider-Man tops box office in North American film history

The number one person on the box office list in North American film history has changed.On its 47th day of release, Spider-Man: Brand New Day's cumulative box office in North America reached US$936.773 million, surpassing Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens' US$936.6 million, becoming the highest-grossing film in the history of this market.

The superhero movie, distributed by Sony, has been setting records since its July 31 release.It has crossed the US$400 million, US$500 million, US$600 million, US$700 million, US$800 million and US$900 million thresholds in North America at the fastest speed.North American opening weekend revenue was $360 million, also setting a new local opening weekend record.

The film took first place in its first six weekends of release in North America.As the eighth weekend approaches, it has completed its overtake of the old record.Sony posted a message on the film's official social platform to thank the audience and confirmed that the film has become the cumulative box office No. 1 in North American film history.Data is changing rapidly, and current milestones already have clear numbers to compare with.

The global box office also ranks among the top three

Globally, Spider-Man: Brand New Day currently ranks third in film history, behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame.It is also the second-fastest movie to hit $1 billion worldwide, after Avengers: Endgame.The North American and overseas markets are working hard at the same time, allowing it to maintain a strong box office performance in the latter part of the summer season.

The film also helped propel this year's global summer box office to $4.765 billion, surpassing the previous record set in 2013.In addition to the single-film performance, the overall performance of the summer film was also improved.The figures listed in the report are based on the cumulative box office at that time, and will continue to change with theater screenings.

In terms of story, Peter Parker, played by Tom Holland, is living a lonely life, and then an unseen enemy targets him.Zendaya, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal also star.The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and produced by Marvel Studios and producer Amy Pascal.

The sequel doesn't continue to stack up the old Spider-Man

After Spider-Man: No Way Home brought multiple Peter Parkers together, Tom Rothman, head of Sony Pictures' film department, said of the new film that the problem facing the team was how to capture the scale of the previous film.The final decision was to focus on a deeper emotional experience, rather than just making the scene bigger.

This line of thinking has been tied with the film's current box office performance.The previous film, Spider-Man: No Way Home, currently ranks fourth in North American film history. The new film first surpassed Avengers: Endgame and moved to second place, and then surpassed Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens.The same series continues to occupy the top of the list, which makes this achievement particularly outstanding.

Releases continue, with No. 1 in North America and No. 3 worldwide being its position at the time of this count.How high it can push the record next depends on subsequent weekend screenings and market changes.At least on day 47, it has written the title of North American film history champion into its report card.
