Tom Holland’s fourth solo outing as the webslinger has been a monumental box office success, currently standing at number six in the all-time chart with $2.21billion (£1.63billion), according to Box Office Mojo .

That puts it just behind James Cameron’s epic, which has earned $2.26billion (£1.65billion) during its initial theatrical run and subsequent re-releases.

Released in 1997, Titanic was a romantic drama starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio as lovers who meet aboard the ill-fated vessel.

The film won 11 Oscars, including Best Film, and became the first movie to surpass $1billion (£732million) at the worldwide box office.

It remained number one on the all-time list until it was dethroned in 2009 by Cameron’s follow up, Avatar , which still holds the crown with $2.9billion (£2.1billion).

Spider-Man: Brand New Day still has some way to go before it passes the most successful Marvel film of all time, Avengers: Endgame , which sits at number two with $2.7billion (£1.9billion).

However, it currently holds the record for the fastest film to reach $1billion, as well as the most successful solo Marvel superhero movie.

The film sees Peter Parker (Holland) go it alone after erasing the memory of him from the whole world, including those he loves.

NME’s four-star review called it “the best MCU movie of the decade”, concluding that “the young webslinger has grown up and become the type of hero this franchise sorely needs.” Recently, Daredevil actor Rosario Dawson revealed she filmed a scene in Brand New Day that was ultimately cut from the movie .

Elsewhere, Tom Holland’s co-star Jacob Batalon gave his thoughts about the film’s open-ended final scene which has sparked speculation among cinemagoers.
