- Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed $1 billion internationally in 12 days, second-fastest ever after Avengers: Endgame, and is now the 12th highest-grossing film worldwide at $1.67B ($655M domestic, $1.01B overseas)
- Brand New Day posted $145M in its second U.S. weekend — the third-highest second weekend ever — and was No. 1 in 67 of its international markets at 72,800+ screens, with Korea the lone exception
- China led the international weekend at $29.1M (cume $186.7M), while India delivered $10.6M for a $52.8M cume, making Brand New Day the biggest Hollywood release ever in that market
- The Odyssey became Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film ever at $1.1B, now the second-biggest R-rated movie globally behind Deadpool & Wolverine's $1.33B, with a career-best $14.5M opening in Korea
- Toy Story 5 reached $1.094B worldwide, overtaking Toy Story 3 and Toy Story 4 to become Pixar's third-highest-grossing film and the No. 8 MPA animated global release ever
- Minions & Monsters added $12.7M globally in its sixth weekend for a $473.5M running total, opening in Japan to $2.6M across 566 screens
Why it matters: Spider-Man: Brand New Day's 12-day sprint to $1B international — second only to Avengers: Endgame — signals superhero tentpoles still have global gravitational pull, with $2B now within striking distance. Meanwhile, Nolan's The Odyssey overtaking his own benchmarks at $1.1B shows original-event cinema can rival franchise IP, though its R-rated ceiling ($1.33B Deadpool & Wolverine record) is its ceiling.
