UPDATE: The official Star Wars social media accounts have now congratulated Spider-Man: Brand New Day for breaking The Force Awakens' record.
"Impressive. Most Impressive," Lucasfilm wrote. "From a galaxy far, far away, everyone at Lucasfilm sends massive congratulations to Destin, Tom, everyone at Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios and the entire team behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day on setting a new domestic box office record and taking the crown from Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
It took a couple of days longer than some analysts predicted, but Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now officially the highest-grossing movie of all-time at the North American box office.
Only 47 days passed before the web-spinner's latest movie beat Star Wars: The Force Awakens' long-standing record. As of Tuesday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has grossed $936.773 million, handily surpassing Episode VII's $936.6 million haul.
The movie, which followed the hugely successful "Home" trilogy, is also the third-biggest blockbuster worldwide, behind only Avatar and Avengers: Endgame.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day was always expected to be a box office hit, but no one imagined it being this big. From the start, the movie exceeded expectations, topping Avengers: Endgame's opening weekend record with over $360 million. It also became the second-fastest movie—after Endgame—to reach $1 billion globally.
While Sony Pictures has shared a celebratory message on social media today, the studio has yet to officially announce Spider-Man 5. We're also waiting on confirmation for Spider-Man: Brand New Day's 4K Blu-ray and Digital release dates.
"Thank you to the fans for helping Spider-Man: Brand New Day make cinematic history," Sony wrote. "It’s now the highest-grossing domestic release of ALL TIME at the North American box office. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, exclusively in theatres."
In Spider-Man: Brand New Day, it's a Brand New Day for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn’t remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter that he may not have the power to control.
But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but he hasn’t forgotten them.
In our review, we concluded by saying, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day is everything fans could want. Emotional, hilarious, and heartfelt, it’s an action-packed love letter to the comics and one of Spidey’s best big-screen adventures. Spider-Man has never been more amazing."
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now playing in theaters.
