‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Races to the $1 Billion Mark

What began with Toy Story 5 and The Odyssey‘s box-office surge has reached tidal-wave proportions with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which just became the second-fastest movie to reach $1 billion. The Sony-Marvel tale took just six days to reach the milestone, Variety reports.
