Spider-Man: Brand New Day has overtaken Toy Story 5 to become the year’s highest-grossing film, extending the movie’s unexpected run at the box office. The milestone was reached Wednesday as the film continued to attract audiences.
The movie is the fourth Spider-Man feature starring Tom Holland in the lead role. Its performance has made Brand New Day a major commercial success and placed it ahead of another prominent animated release in the annual box-office race.
Joe and Anthony Russo, the directors of Avengers: Endgame, congratulated the Spider-Man team after the film surpassed several records associated with their work. Their reaction framed the result as a changing of the guard at the top of the box office.
