Spider-Man: Brand New Day has passed Star Wars: The Force Awakens as the highest-grossing domestic release of all time, capping a summer that proved audiences will still pack theaters when Hollywood delivers. Tom Holland's fourth solo outing as Peter Parker crossed $936.773 million at the North American box office after just 47 days in theaters, Variety reported on September 16. The milestone erased a record that The Force Awakens had held for more than a decade at $936 million. Globally, the Sony and Marvel co-production has pulled in $2.45 billion, placing it third all time behind only Avatar ($2.9 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion).

Sir Ian McKellen revealed he shouted "Mar-a-Lago!" to summon on-screen rage while filming Avengers: Doomsday, turning a superhero action scene into a gratuitous political jab at the sitting president's home.

His solution, he said, was to stand on the set and shout the name of Donald Trump's Florida resort. The remark drew attention alongside a warmer story from the same production. Anthony Mackie, who plays the new…Open
