- Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned $18M over the traditional weekend and an estimated $23M through Labor Day Monday, claiming No. 1 for a sixth consecutive weekend—the longest domestic reign since Avatar: The Way of Water's seven straight weekends in 2022.
- With $923M domestically, the Tom Holland-led film is primed to overtake Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936M) as the highest-grossing domestic release ever; globally it has hit $2.4B, ranking third all-time behind Avatar ($2.9B) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7B).
- The 2025 summer box office closed at $4.7B domestic through Labor Day—the second-largest summer on record behind 2013's $4.755B high-water mark, per Rentrak, and the best post-pandemic summer.
- Labor Day newcomers By Any Means (Paramount, $7M, 4th), Fall 2: Deadpoint (Lionsgate, $2.3M, 12th), and Onslaught (A24, $2M, 13th) all flopped, leaving Spider-Man and The Odyssey to dominate an unusually thin chart.
- The Odyssey held No. 2 domestically in its eighth weekend with $13M/$17M through Monday, lifting its totals to $588M domestic and $1.56B worldwide—and actually outgrossing Spider-Man at the global weekend box office, per Deadline.
- Coyote vs. Acme placed third in its second weekend with $11.3M, a tiny 27% drop from its debut, bringing its domestic total to $37M after Ketchup Entertainment rescued the shelved Warner Bros. film.
- Christmas tentpoles including Avengers: Doomsday, Dune: Part Three, and Jumanji 3 could push 2025 North American revenues past $10B for the first time since the pandemic.
Why it matters: Spider-Man is about to claim the all-time domestic crown with no real competition in sight, but the $4.7B summer total masks a yawning gap: this Labor Day's three new wide releases combined for under $12M. Theaters banked the season on legacy IP and Christopher Nolan's Odyssey while the holiday corridor came in empty—setting up a make-or-break Christmas slate to reach the $10B year.
