A new “Spider-Man” film, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” takes the top spot as the highest-grossing movie in North America, surpassing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” according to reports.
Gizmodo and Times of India both say the “Spider-Man” title has surpassed the previous U.S./North America record held by “The Force Awakens.” Times of India cites North American box office of about $936.773 million, while also reporting total global earnings of roughly $2.45 billion. Gizmodo emphasizes that the film “beats” “Star Wars” to become the highest grossing in the U.S., reflecting the same milestone.
Both outlets connect the result to ongoing plans for the franchise, with Times of India noting that Marvel Studios and Sony have future releases scheduled. The two reports primarily differ in emphasis—Gizmodo focuses on the headline record in the U.S., while Times of India includes more detailed domestic and global totals and mentions next steps for the franchise.
