It is a brand new day for the fourth Spider-Man movie in Tom Holland's reign as it nears a major box office milestone, one that will tip Titanic off its glacial success. Tom Holland returned as Peter Parker in the latest installment of Marvel’s long-running Spider-Man franchise, with previous movies proving to be major global box-office successes. Meanwhile, James Cameron’s Titanic has been a fixture on the highest-grossing films list since its release in 1997, thanks to several theatrical re-releases over the years.

Now, the two blockbuster giants are about to clash on the all-time global box office chart. 

Spider-Man is on the verge of pulling off a box-office upset that could rewrite Hollywood history. 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now just $44 million away from knocking Titanic out of the all-time global box-office top five. The film added $39 million domestically and $109 million internationally over the weekend, to take its totals to $854.9 million in North America, according to Box Office Mojo. It has gotten a strong theatrical run and is expected to overtake James Cameron’s Oscar-winning 1997 classic within the next week or so. 

The international haul continues to be a big boost to the film’s theatrical run as Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now grossed $2.22 billion worldwide, as per Box Office Mojo. The film has grossed $1.365 billion internationally. The strong overseas showing has helped nudge the Marvel blockbuster closer to the all-time global box office top five, with its impressive worldwide total putting it within striking distance of James Cameron’s Titanic. 

Meanwhile, Titanic has earned $2.265 billion worldwide over all of its releases in theaters. The remaining haul, which was $1.59 billion, came from international markets, with the domestic market accounting for $674.35 million. The film’s huge international performance has kept it among the highest-grossing films in box-office history, decades after its original 1997 release and even through multiple theatrical re-releases. 

‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Beats ‘Avengers: Endgame’s’ Numbers for Historic Box Office Record

But Titanic is not the only blockbuster making waves, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day is rewriting the record books. 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already smashed numerous box office records in its blockbuster run. The film's over $2.22 billion gross worldwide has surpassed major hits like Avengers: Infinity War and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. It is also now Sony’s biggest release ever, eclipsing the $1.9 billion haul of Spider-Man: No Way Home. The film has also created history in India by becoming the highest-grossing Hollywood release, beating the milestones set by Avengers: Endgame and Avatar: The Way of Water. 

As Tom Holland's Spider-Man: Brand New Day breaks box office records, its next big win could be to bump Titanic from the top five of all time worldwide. The Marvel blockbuster has continued its impressive run in the domestic and international marketplace, with its growing worldwide total putting it within striking distance of Cameron’s classic. If it keeps up its current pace, Peter Parker might have another historic milestone to add to his list, helping to make Brand New Day one of the biggest theatrical hits in superhero movie history.
