Spider-Man: Brand New Day has smashed through the $US2 billion ($A2.8 billion) barrier at the worldwide box office.

The earnings put Tom Holland’s latest adventure as the web-slinging superhero into one of cinema’s most exclusive clubs after just three weekends.

The Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios blockbuster – starring Holland, 30, in his fourth solo movie as Peter Parker, alongside his wife Zendaya, 28 – has now earned $US785.8 million ($A1.1 billion) in North America and $US1.236 billion ($A1.750 billion) internationally for a worldwide total of $US2.022 billion ($A2.863 billion).

The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, opened in the United States on July 31 and has become only the eighth movie in history to cross $US2 billion globally.

The achievement makes Brand New Day the second-fastest film ever to reach $US2 billion, behind only Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, which crossed the threshold after 11 days in 2019.

The latest Spider-Man has dominated cinemas since its release, opening with $US355 million ($A503 million) in North America and $US932 million ($A1.3 billion) worldwide before passing $US1 billion ($A1.4 billion) globally after only six days.

It has now overtaken its immediate predecessor, Spider-Man: No Way Home, which finished its theatrical run with $US1.9 billion ($A2.7 billion) after being denied a release in China.

Brand New Day follows Peter after the events of No Way Home, in which a spell cast by Doctor Strange resulted in the world forgetting Peter Parker existed.

He is living alone and fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man while watching his former friends continue their lives without remembering him.

Brand New Day has become the eighth-biggest worldwide release in box-office history, joining a $US2 billion club which includes Avatar, Avengers: Endgame, Avatar: The Way of Water, Titanic, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War.

The film remained No 1 in North America for a third consecutive weekend, taking another $US70 million ($A99 million) as its domestic total climbed to $US785.8 million ($A1.1 billion).

Its performance has also made Brand New Day Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing movie worldwide, while the wider North American box office is running almost 20 per cent ahead of the equivalent point in 2025.

With Brand New Day already at $US2.022 billion ($A2.863 billion), its continuing theatrical run leaves it chasing Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ $US936 million ($A1.3 billion) North American total, while Avatar remains the worldwide record-holder with approximately $US2.9 billion ($A4.1 billion).
