"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" remained the No. 1 movie at the North American box office over the August 28-30 weekend, its fifth consecutive weekend atop the charts, earning an estimated $22.2 million. The film fended off new competition from "Coyote vs. Acme," which opened in second place with $15.5 million, along with other new releases that weekend. With the fifth-weekend win, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" passed "Avengers: Endgame" to become the second-highest-grossing release ever in North America, reaching a domestic total of roughly $858.4 million. The film's sustained run reflects unusually strong holding power for a superhero blockbuster, typically front-loaded in its opening weeks; instead it continued drawing audiences deep into its theatrical run through late August, aided by a light schedule of major new wide releases during that stretch. The community was confident the film would extend its streak, with 75% predicting it would finish No. 1 again, and that expectation proved correct. The result capped a dominant summer for the Spider-Man franchise, which led the domestic box office for essentially the entire month of August without serious challenge from new releases, cementing 2026 as one of the character's biggest years at the box office.
