Spider-Man: Brand New Day is making waves at the box office, becoming the second-fastest film to cross the $1 billion mark internationally, just 12 days after its release. This impressive feat has pushed the movie's global total to $1.67 billion, making it the 12th highest-grossing film worldwide. With more records in store, it's on track to reach the $2 billion mark soon.
What makes this achievement even more notable is that Brand New Day is the 16th movie to gross over $1 billion at the foreign box office. The film's success is evident in its strong performance across various markets, with a notable exception in Korea, where Universal's The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, secured the top spot with $14.5 million.
Brand New Day's domestic performance is equally impressive, with a $145 million opening weekend, the third-highest second weekend ever at the North American box office. It's one of only eight movies to ever gross over $100 million in its second weekend, and its $655 million domestic running cume is the highest ever for a movie over ten days.
The movie dominated 67 markets with 72,800 screens, except for Korea, where The Odyssey took the lead. Brand New Day's global second weekend haul was $381 million, with $236 million coming from overseas, a 48% drop from the previous weekend. In Japan, it was second to the local animation title Chiikawa.
China led the international weekend with $29.1 million, pushing the cumulative total to $186.7 million. Brand New Day also became India's biggest Hollywood release ever, grossing $10.6 million over the weekend and reaching a total of $52.8 million. Brazil delivered the best hold among top 10 markets, with a 33% drop and $13.4 million in revenue.

The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, also continued its strong performance, grossing $110.7 million in its fourth global weekend, with $79.2 million coming from overseas. It's now the second-biggest R-rated movie ever, behind Deadpool & Wolverine's $1.33 billion.
