The achievement also saw Brand New Day overtake Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed $1.9 billion worldwide following its 2021 release, making the new film Sony’s biggest title ever.

Brand New Day also recorded the second-highest third weekend in domestic box-office history, behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which earned $90.2 million during its third weekend. (Leadership)
