Spider-Man: Brand New Day started IMAX screenings across North America on August 6, 2026, sharing screens with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which had maintained an exclusive IMAX run for three weekends prior [1, 2, 3].
The Spider-Man film launched domestically with a $360 million opening weekend, breaking the US record previously held by Avengers: Endgame's $357 million debut [1, 3]. Globally, it earned $927 million in its opening weekend, second only to Endgame's $1.22 billion [1, 3]. Together, Spider-Man and The Odyssey powered a historic weekend exceeding $430 million in domestic box office revenue [1, 2].
The Odyssey has generated $221 million globally from IMAX screenings and has driven multiple $40 million-plus weekends in the IMAX global box office [2]. It continues to screen in select IMAX 70mm theaters through mid-September 2026, limiting Spider-Man's IMAX availability in some locations due to existing Odyssey runs [3].
Spider-Man: Brand New Day premiered earlier in IMAX theaters in China, Japan, and South Korea before expanding to the North American IMAX market [3]. Director Destin Daniel Cretton said, "I love the IMAX experience and I think this movie in particular was made for the IMAX experience," noting that sequences were specifically shot for IMAX presentation [3].
IMAX reported its best global box office year ever in 2025, with $1.28 billion in revenue. The strong performances of Spider-Man and The Odyssey put IMAX on track to surpass that record in 2026 [1]. Disney is benefiting from these hits following recent box office underperformances such as the Moana live-action film and The Mandalorian series [1].
Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues limited IMAX screenings alongside The Odyssey through mid-September, as The Odyssey remains in select IMAX 70mm theaters until then [3].
