Spider-Man: Brand New Day Box Office: Beats Star Wars TFA To Become The Highest-Grossing Film In North America
Los Angeles / Mumbai, September 17 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially made box-office history. The Tom Holland-led Marvel blockbuster has surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing film of all time at the North American box office, ending a record that had stood for nearly 11 years. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}) Spider-Man Takes Down The Force Awakens After 47 days in theatres, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has reached $936.77 million in the U.S. and Canada. This takes the film past Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which had finished its theatrical run with $936.662 million in North America. The achievement is particularly significant because The Force Awakens had dominated the domestic box-office record since its 2015 release. The Star Wars film established its final benchmark during its theatrical run in 2015–16, and no film had managed to surpass it until Brand New Day.
