[Edaily Starin YUN GI BACK Reporter] The movie “Spider-Man: A Brand-New Day” has surpassed 8.02 million cumulative domestic viewers, becoming the highest-grossing film in the Tom Holland-starring “Spider-Man” series (“TomSpidey”). By not only surpassing the 8-million mark but also breaking the previous record, it has further solidified its status as a long-running box office hit.

According to the Korean Film Council’s integrated computer network on the 23rd, “Spider-Man: A Brand New Day” surpassed 8.02 million cumulative viewers just 26 days after its release. This surpasses the final attendance figure of 8,023,606 for “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” which was previously the highest-grossing film in the “TomSp” series.
Its box office momentum was also rapid. “Brand New Day” reached the 8 million mark nine days faster than “Far From Home.” It is particularly noteworthy that the film broke through the limitations typically faced by franchise movies—where audience fatigue tends to grow as the series continues—and actually set a new domestic record with its fourth installment.
This is a standout achievement even when considering all Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) solo films. In South Korea, it has become the third-highest-grossing MCU solo film of all time, following “Iron Man 3” (9 million viewers) and “Captain America: Civil War” (8.67 million viewers). Depending on its future box office performance, there is even a possibility it could surpass “Civil War” to claim the second spot on the all-time list.
This box office success also reaffirms the enduring strength of the “Spider-Man” intellectual property (IP) in South Korea. In particular, by centering the story on Peter Parker—who had been forgotten by everyone since *No Way Home*—as he sets out on his own again, the film has drawn a positive response from audiences by highlighting not only spectacular action but also Spider-Man’s core identity as the “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” and his sense of responsibility.
“Spider-Man: A Brand-New Day” follows Peter Parker (Tom Holland)—who has been forgotten by everyone—as he faces a mysterious enemy who remembers his true identity and gains uncontrollable powers due to a DNA mutation. Directed by Destin Cretton, the film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, John Bernthal, and Mark Ruffalo.
Having set a new record for “TomSpider,” the film’s next goal is 9 million viewers. If it surpasses the record held by “Iron Man 3”—currently the highest-grossing MCU solo film in South Korea—“Brand New Day” will claim the top spot in Marvel’s domestic box office history.
