Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fastest movie to hit $700M US domestic milestone

Your friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man is on an epic record-breaking run.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fastest movie ever to cross the $700-million US mark at the North American box office, hitting the milestone in just 13 days .

To put that into perspective, only seven movies have ever swung over that line in North America. Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Endgame , for instance, both hit the achievement in 16 days.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day — a Marvel and Sony production — marks actor Tom Holland's fourth time suiting up to lead as Peter Parker. He stars alongside his wife, Zendaya , as well as Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) fan favourites Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Mark Ruffalo, and newcomer Sadie Sink.

The movie follows Holland's Peter Parker living alone in New York in a world where Spider-man was erased from everyone's memory. As he struggles with his loneliness, his powers start acting up.

And forget swinging through Queens — this iteration of the franchise is soaring past milestone after milestone.

Not only has the latest instalment pulled in $704.5-million US in North America, it’s also made $1.108-billion US internationally after only two weekends in theatres. That surpasses the international take-home of its predecessor No Way Home , which grossed $1.106-billion US.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day strikes a darker tone, but is it doing too much?
