Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially made box office history.

The Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios blockbuster has surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office, ending a record that had stood for more than a decade.

The Tom Holland-led film has now earned approximately $936.77 million in North America, narrowly passing the $936.66 million domestic total earned by The Force Awakens. Even more impressive, Brand New Day reached the record after just 47 days in theaters.

The milestone is the latest in an extraordinary theatrical run for the fourth Tom Holland Spider-Man movie.

Brand New Day opened with $360 million domestically, setting a new record for the biggest domestic opening weekend in box office history. The film subsequently became the fastest movie ever to cross every major domestic milestone from $400 million through $900 million.

Its record-breaking performance has also extended far beyond North America. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned approximately $2.45 billion worldwide, placing it among the highest-grossing movies ever released globally.

Impressive. Most Impressive.

Lucasfilm Congratulates Spider-Man

Following the record being broken, Lucasfilm and the official Star Wars social media account acknowledged Brand New Day taking the crown from The Force Awakens.

“Impressive. Most Impressive.”

Lucasfilm then congratulated director Destin Daniel Cretton, Tom Holland, Sony Pictures, Marvel Studios and the entire Brand New Day team on setting the new domestic box office record.

The studio also shared artwork featuring Spider-Man alongside X-Wings with the message:

“The Force is strong with you! Congratulations from Lucasfilm.”

The gesture continues a long-running Hollywood tradition in which filmmakers and studios publicly congratulate one another when a major box office record changes hands.

A Record More Than a Decade in the Making

Star Wars: The Force Awakens had occupied the top spot since its historic theatrical run following its December 2015 release.

Other enormous blockbusters came close during the years that followed. Avengers: Endgame, for example, finished with more than $858 million domestically but was unable to catch The Force Awakens.

Now Spider-Man has finally done it.

And Brand New Day isn’t finished yet. The movie remains in theaters, meaning its new all-time domestic record will continue to grow.

Star Wars is heading back to theaters for its 50th anniversary, and this time fans will be able to experience the film in a way they never have before.

Lucasfilm and Disney have announced that the original 1977 Star Wars, later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, will be released in IMAX for the first time when it returns to theaters on February 19, 2027. Select theaters will also screen the film in IMAX 70mm.

The theatrical return is part of Lucasfilm’s yearlong celebration marking 50 years since George Lucas introduced audiences to Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader and a galaxy far, far away.

While the original film was shown in traditional 70mm during its initial theatrical run, it has never received an IMAX release. That makes the upcoming anniversary engagement the first opportunity to see the 1977 classic presented in the format.

The celebration won’t stop there.

Lucasfilm also confirmed that Star Wars: Starfighter, the upcoming film directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, will receive an IMAX 70mm release when it arrives in theaters on May 28, 2027.

That date comes almost exactly 50 years after the original Star Wars opened in theaters in May 1977.

Star Wars: Starfighter stars Gosling alongside Matt Smith, Mia Goth, Aaron Pierre, Amy Adams, Jamael Westman, Daniel Ings and Flynn Gray. Jonathan Tropper wrote the screenplay, with Levy and Kathleen Kennedy producing.

The original Star Wars returns to theaters February 19, 2027, with IMAX 70mm screenings available at select locations.

Ewan McGregor still isn’t ready to leave Obi-Wan Kenobi behind, and the Star Wars actor has already pitched an idea that could reunite the legendary Jedi Master with Yoda.

McGregor recently revealed that he has spoken with Lucasfilm co-president Dave Filoni about potential stories that could bring Obi-Wan back following the events of the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi. One idea would explore Obi-Wan attempting to reconnect with Yoda during the years between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope.

“It was very casual, but I said there’s got to be something,” McGregor said of his conversation with Filoni. “Because Yoda’s somewhere else.”

Following the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Yoda went into exile on Dagobah while Obi-Wan eventually settled on Tatooine to watch over a young Luke Skywalker. McGregor believes the separation between the surviving Jedi could provide the foundation for another Obi-Wan story.

“So I think there could be a story there where I’m trying to reach out to him,” McGregor added.

The idea could also serve as a natural continuation of Obi-Wan Kenobi. The 2022 series ended with Obi-Wan finally reconnecting with the Force ghost of his former master, Qui-Gon Jinn, played once again by Liam Neeson. A second season could potentially explore Obi-Wan’s continued spiritual growth while filling in more of the years leading to the character’s appearance in A New Hope.

McGregor has repeatedly expressed interest in returning to the role, noting that there remains a significant unexplored period between the Disney+ series and the older Obi-Wan portrayed by Alec Guinness. Earlier this month, however, McGregor acknowledged that there still hasn’t been meaningful movement on another season.

For now, Lucasfilm has not officially announced Obi-Wan Kenobi Season 2, meaning McGregor’s Yoda storyline remains only an idea. Still, with the actor continuing to push for another chapter and now discussing potential stories directly with Filoni, the door to another Obi-Wan adventure doesn’t appear completely closed.
