The latest Spider-Man installment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, is poised to push Titanic out of the top five highest-grossing films of all time at the global box office, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The report indicates the movie has already climbed to the No. 6 spot worldwide. Multiple outlets, including The Hollywood Reporter, note that the film has now topped the domestic box office for four consecutive weekends, its fourth straight victory since release.
The film’s continued performance has also helped drive the August box office to a record-breaking $1.1 billion domestically, as reported by TheWrap. That figure represents the highest domestic total ever recorded for the month of August, a milestone powered largely by the Spider-Man sequel’s sustained audience draw.
Entertainment Weekly’s projection means Brand New Day is on track to surpass Titanic’s lifetime global gross, which has held a place in the top five for decades. The exact figures and timeline for when the overtake will occur were not specified in the available reporting.
The film’s box office run has been notable not just for its longevity but for its consistency, holding strong in its fourth weekend rather than fading after an initial surge. AP News also highlighted that the same weekend saw Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey become the director’s highest-grossing film to date, though the Spider-Man sequel remained the top draw.
With Brand New Day still showing momentum in theaters, industry observers will be watching whether it can sustain its pace and officially claim that No. 5 slot in the coming weeks.
