Sony’s latest blockbuster, *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, has officially taken over as the highest-grossing film of all time at the domestic box office, shattering a long-standing record previously held by sci-fi royalty. As of Tuesday, the web-slinging epic pushed its total North American ticket haul to a whopping $936.7 million, according to industry reports. That staggering figure inches past the previous record-holder, *Star Wars: The Force Awakens*, which had comfortably held the domestic crown for a decade with an impressive $936.66 million cume. ## What is the highest grossing movie at the domestic box office?

However, following weeks of unrelenting momentum across multiplexes in the US and Canada, Sony's premier Marvel adventure finally collected enough green to steal the crown. Industry analysts attribute the historic achievement to intense fan enthusiasm, massive repeat viewings, and constant viral buzz across social platforms. The milestone delivers a monumental win for Sony Pictures, establishing the picture as the highest-earning theatrical release in the history of the studio. ## Did Spider-Man Brand New Day beat Star Wars The Force Awakens?
