5. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) – $2.07 billion

Second-Fastest Film to Reach $2 Billion
Brand New Day reached the $2 billion mark in 17 days, making it the second-fastest film to achieve this milestone. Only Avengers: Endgame was faster, completing the run in 11 days back in 2019.
The film crossed $1 billion worldwide in just six days of release. Its opening weekend alone brought in $360 million domestically, beating the previous record held by Avengers: Endgame. Globally, it opened with $932 million.
A Historic Run for Spider-Man
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already become the highest-grossing Spider-Man film of all time. It surpassed Spider-Man: No Way Home, which finished its theatrical run with $1.9 billion. No Way Home missed the $2 billion mark partly because it did not release in China.
The film is also the first solo superhero movie to cross the $2 billion milestone. It holds the title of the highest-grossing comic book movie of the decade. Additionally, it is Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film of all time.
What the Film Is About
Set four years after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home, Brand New Day follows Peter Parker living in isolation in New York City. The world has forgotten his identity due to Doctor Strange’s spell, and even his closest friends MJ (Zendaya) and Ned Leeds (Jacob Batalon) no longer remember him. Peter lives a solitary life while continuing to protect the city as Spider-Man. A series of strange crimes sets off a chain of events as he undergoes an unexplained transformation that threatens the world he is trying to save.
The film is directed by Destin Daniel Cretton and features a cast that includes Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal as The Punisher, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, and Michael Mando. It was released in theaters on July 31, 2026.

In India, it has become the highest-grossing Hollywood film ever, with collections reaching approximately $73.5 million. The United Kingdom has contributed $106 million, while Mexico has added $78 million.

Critical and Audience Reception
The film holds a “Certified Fresh” 89% critics’ score and a “Verified Hot” 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. The strong reception from both critics and moviegoers has helped drive its record-breaking box office run.
