Every Spider-Man Film Ranked by Box Office — After Brand New Day

The franchise peak and the eighth-biggest film ever released. Its trick was structural rather than cinematic: it put all three live-action Spider-Men on screen at once and turned twenty years of accumulated audience memory into a single ticket. It also did it in December 2021, when cinema attendance was still far below normal, which is why the industry treats it as the moment the theatrical recovery began.

The biggest opening weekend ever recorded — $360.1 million domestically, ahead of Avengers: Endgame — and $1 billion worldwide in six days, the second-fastest ever. It reached $1 billion internationally in twelve days, again second only to Endgame. Whether it passes No Way Home depends on its legs in Asia; it is still in cinemas and no India streaming date has been announced.

$1.13 billion in 2019, and the first Sony-produced Spider-Man film to cross a billion. It released two months after Avengers: Endgame and functioned as that film's epilogue, which is a large part of why it did what it did. Two-thirds of its gross was international — the first Spider-Man film where the domestic share dropped below 35 per cent.

The highest-grossing film of Sam Raimi's trilogy and the least-liked, which is a pairing that recurs across this whole list. Three villains, a studio-mandated Venom and the dance sequence people have been making jokes about for nineteen years — and $887 million, which in 2007 made it the biggest Spider-Man film by a wide margin.

$881 million, and the film that made the Sony-Marvel arrangement work — a high-school comedy with Michael Keaton as a working-class arms dealer, rather than another origin story. It is also where Tom Holland and Zendaya were cast opposite each other, which by 2026 has produced five films and a marriage.

The one that started the modern superhero business. Raimi's 2002 film took $810.9 million and was the first film in history to make $100 million in a single domestic weekend — a record that stood for years and reset what studios thought a comic-book adaptation could be. Half its gross came from North America, a split no blockbuster achieves now.

The best-reviewed film in the franchise by most measures and only the seventh-highest-grossing, which is the clearest illustration on this page that quality and gross are separate variables. Alfred Molina's Doc Ock is still the benchmark the series is measured against, twenty-two years on — which is why No Way Home brought him back.

$758.7 million in 2012, five years after Spider-Man 3, and a reboot that existed largely because Sony had to make a Spider-Man film to keep the rights. Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone are better in it than the film is, and Garfield's eventual return in No Way Home is one of the few genuine acts of franchise repair anyone has managed.

$716.9 million, the lowest-grossing live-action Spider-Man film, and the one that ended a series mid-plan — the spin-offs it was setting up were cancelled and Sony went to Marvel instead. Its 28 per cent domestic share is the lowest of any film here, and the reason the reboot was abandoned rather than continued.

$690.5 million, and by a distance the most influential film on this list — the two Spider-Verse animations have changed how mainstream animation is designed more than anything since Toy Story. It is also the only entry here that ends on a cliffhanger with no released conclusion.

The lowest-grossing Spider-Man film and the best one. $375.6 million in 2018, an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, and the introduction of Miles Morales to an audience of hundreds of millions. Everything about how the last eight years of animation looks starts here.
