Tom Holland and Zendaya Are On an Unprecedented Box Office Run
Tom Holland and Zendaya are having an unprecedented box office run in 2026, starring in two major films released just two weeks apart—The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day—both positioned to cross the billion-dollar threshold globally.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been the breakout success, achieving multiple box office milestones. The film earned a record-breaking $360 million domestically during its opening weekend, dethroning Avengers: Endgame for the biggest opening weekend in U.S. box office history. It crossed the $1 billion mark globally in just six days, earning $407 million domestically and $645.8 million internationally. The film is projected to reach $2 billion with the addition of an IMAX release across North America.
Meanwhile, The Odyssey, released two weeks prior, is also on pace to reach or cross $1 billion globally. Despite the blockbuster commercial success, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has received mixed critical reception, falling outside the top 10 highest-rated Marvel Cinematic Universe films on Rotten Tomatoes. This suggests that while audiences are turning out in record numbers, critics have given it a more measured response. Nevertheless, the combined success of both films marks a remarkable achievement for Holland and Zendaya, cementing their status as major box office draws.
