As of the 16th (local time), “Spider-Man 4” climbed to the top of the all-time North American box office, rewriting box office history. According to Box Office Mojo, a U.S. website specializing in tracking global box office performance and statistics, “Spider-Man 4” recorded cumulative revenue of $936.77 million in just 47 days since its release on July 31. This surpassed the record held by the previous number one, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” ($936.66 million), dethroning it after a full 11 years.
"Spider-Man 4" grossed $360 million in its first weekend alone in North America, surpassing "Avengers: Endgame" ($357.1 million) to set the all-time record for the highest opening weekend. It went on to surpass $400 million in just four days, $500 million in seven days, $600 million in nine days, $700 million in 13 days, and $800 million in 19 days.

Notably, “Spider-Man 4” reached the $900 million mark in just 36 days, becoming the second film in history to surpass $900 million in North American box office revenue. Previously, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was the only film to have surpassed $900 million, but “Brand New Day” has since broken that record, rewriting North American box office history.
“Spider-Man 4” continues its box office success not only in North America but also in the global market. With worldwide box office revenues exceeding $2.4 billion, it has surpassed director James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” to claim the third spot on the all-time global box office chart.
Given its continued strong performance globally beyond North America, attention is now focused on the final box office results for “Spider-Man 4.”
“Spider-Man 4” is an action blockbuster in which Peter Parker—forgotten by everyone following the events of “Spider-Man: No Way Home”—is plunged into even deeper turmoil by the appearance of a mysterious enemy who remembers his true identity and by a DNA mutation that grants him uncontrollable powers. He must face this new threat to protect those he cares about. The film stars Tom Holland, Zendaya Coleman, and Sadie Sink.
