'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' exceeds 5 mln ticket sales in S. Korea
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has surpassed 5 million ticket sales in South Korea, becoming the fastest foreign film to do so since 2023. The film continues its record-breaking run, holding the top domestic spot for a fourth weekend and closing in on all-time box office records.
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day," the fourth installment starring Tom Holland, surpassed 5 million ticket sales on the 11th day of its release in South Korea, its local distributor Sony Pictures said. According to the distributor, the film has become the fastest foreign film released in South Korea since 2023, reaching the 3 million sales mark on its third day and 4 million on the seventh day.
The film follows an adult Peter Parker (Tom Holland) as he confronts new threats while grappling with having been forgotten by everyone who knows him, including his girlfriend MJ (Zendaya) and best friend Ned (Jacob Batalon).
Fourth Weekend at the Top
In North America, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" held the top of the box office for the fourth week in a row, beating "Insidious: Out of the Further" on its opening weekend. The film earned an estimated $39 million domestically in its fourth frame, according to multiple reports, bringing its domestic total to approximately $854.9 million. It added roughly $109 million worldwide, pushing its global haul to around $2.22 billion.
During the weekend, "Insidious: Out of the Further" debuted in second place with $25.3 million from 3,303 theaters, as reported by several outlets. The horror sequel, which cost $18 million to produce, follows a young mother who discovers she can travel into a dimension called the Further and bring the demons who live there back into the real world.
The Christopher Nolan-directed "The Odyssey" came in third domestically with an additional $19.5 million, bringing its worldwide total to $1.44 billion. "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" took fourth place with $9.1 million, while the Jason Statham-led "Mutiny" just missed the top five, opening with $7.5 million against a reported $40 million budget.
Climbing the All-Time Charts
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has been closing in on several all-time box office records. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the film surpassed $800 million domestically in its first 19 days, the fastest movie in history to do so. It is only the fourth film to cross that mark, and its North American total of $803.9 million at that point made it the No. 4 highest-grossing domestic release ever, behind "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($814.8 million).
By the end of its fourth weekend, the film's domestic total stood at $854.9 million, putting it just $3.4 million away from surpassing "Avengers: Endgame" ($858.3 million) to become the second-highest-grossing domestic release of all time, as noted by Vulture. Several outlets reported that Brand New Day has already beaten "Avengers: Endgame" domestically, while others noted the film was still slightly behind. "Avengers: Endgame" remains ahead globally with $2.79 billion, and is scheduled for a re-release on September 25.
On the worldwide chart, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has grossed $2.22 billion, leaving it approximately $44 million behind "Titanic" ($2.264 billion) and within striking distance of both "Ne Zha 2" ($2.27 billion) and "Avatar: The Way of Water" ($2.33 billion). According to India Today, the film could claim the No. 3 spot on the all-time worldwide chart, behind only "Avatar" ($2.92 billion) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($2.79 billion).
James Cameron has directed three of the five highest-grossing films in global box office history, but Tom Holland's "Brand New Day" is now threatening to disrupt that run, as reported by Times Now.
Financial Milestones and Cast
According to TheWrap, as reported by The Tab, Tom Holland is reportedly set to make at least $100 million from "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," following a $20 million upfront salary and an uncapped bonus from the film's box office performance. Holland's previous earnings reportedly include $250,000 for "Captain America: Civil War," $500,000 for "Spider-Man: Homecoming," $4 million for "Far From Home," and $10 million for "No Way Home."
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the film stars Holland alongside Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, Florence Pugh, Tramell Tillman, Marisa Tomei and Mark Ruffalo, as listed by India Today. The film is produced by Kevin Feige, Amy Pascal, Avi Arad, and Rachel O'Connor, with music by Michael Giacchino, and was made on an estimated budget of $225 million.
The film's box office success has also pushed the 2026 summer box office to $4.24 billion, 23.6% above last year, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Sony chief Tom Rothman discussed the strategic decision to "go deeper" rather than "bigger" with the film.
Critical and Audience Reception
"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has received a "Certified Fresh" 90% score from critics and a "Verified Hot" 98% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, according to Screen Rant. The film's streaming performance also stands out, with "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" receiving 8 billion minutes of viewership since 2023, the most for any Spider-Man movie.
As the film continues its run, it remains the highest-grossing release of 2026, although that position could change later this year with the arrival of "Avengers: Doomsday," scheduled for December 18, as noted by India Today.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
