"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" Sets Domestic Pace, Heads Into Fourth Weekend as Sony's "Insidious" Debut Eyes Second Place

The $800 million domestic milestone

Sony confirmed on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, that "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has crossed $800 million at the domestic box office in just 19 days of release, making it the fastest movie in history to reach that threshold. The previous record was held by "Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens," which hit $800 million in 23 days. The film's North American running total stands at $803.9 million, placing it at No. 4 on the all-time domestic chart behind "Spider-Man: No Way Home" ($814.8 million), "Avengers: Endgame" ($858.3 million), and "The Force Awakens" ($936.6 million).

Fourth-weekend projection and global standing

Heading into its fourth weekend after a July 31 launch, "Brand New Day" is estimated to earn $35 million to $40 million from Friday through Sunday, per Variety's tracking. The Tom Holland-led film reached $2 billion globally over the prior weekend, becoming the eighth title in history to hit that level and surpassing "No Way Home's" $1.9 billion to become Sony's highest-grossing release ever.

"Insidious" aims for second place

Sony's "Insidious: Out of the Further," a sequel to 2023's "The Red Door," is targeting $23 million to $27 million in its domestic debut, tracking for a second-place finish behind "Brand New Day." That range would fall short of "The Red Door's" $33 million opening but compares favorably given the new film's modest $18 million production budget. Across five entries, the "Insidious" franchise has generated $740 million globally.

Other wide releases and summer totals

Lionsgate's action-thriller "Mutiny," starring Jason Statham, is tracking for a soft $8 million to $10 million opening from 2,700 theaters, while Black Bear's comedy "Spa Weekend" is not expected to break out in its debut. As of Sunday, the 2026 summer box office had reached an estimated $4.24 billion domestically, running 23.6 percent ahead of last year's pace at the same point and trailing the all-time summer record of $4.75 billion set in 2013.
