Spider-Man: Brand New Day is continuing its extraordinary run at the global box office, putting the latest Spider-Man adventure within reach of another major Hollywood milestone.
The film is projected to reach approximately $2.33 billion in worldwide ticket sales, positioning it to surpass Avatar: The Way of Water on the list of the highest-grossing movies of all time.
The achievement adds another chapter to what has become one of the biggest theatrical performances in recent years and demonstrates the continued strength of the Spider-Man franchise with moviegoers around the world.
The weekend box office also brought a notable debut for Coyote vs. Acme. The film, which became the center of controversy after it was previously shelved, opened in second place domestically with approximately $15 million.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day remained the much larger story, however, as attention turned toward just how high the movie could ultimately climb on the worldwide box-office rankings.
Its performance also comes at a time when Hollywood studios continue to rely heavily on established franchises to attract audiences to theaters.
With billions of dollars already earned worldwide, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now competing not simply with other movies released this year, but with some of the highest-grossing films in cinema history.
