"Spider-Man: Brand New Day" has crossed the 7 million admissions mark in the shortest time of any film this year.

Distributor Sony Pictures said Sunday that cumulative admissions for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" had surpassed 7 million as of that day.

The milestone came on the film's 19th day in release since its July 29 opening — faster than director Jang Hang-jun's "The King's Warden," which reached 7 million on its 24th day.

The fourth installment in the Spider-Man series, the film follows Peter Parker (Tom Holland) as he tries to reclaim his identity after being erased from the memories of everyone he knows, including his girlfriend and closest friends.

The film is now within striking distance of the final admission tallies of its two predecessors: "Spider-Man: Homecoming" (7.25 million) and "Spider-Man: No Way Home" (7.55 million).

Meanwhile, director Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," which opened Aug. 5, surpassed 4 million admissions Sunday on its 12th day in release.

Based on Homer's epic poem, "Odyssey" follows Odysseus, king of Ithaca (Matt Damon), as he endures a series of ordeals on his journey home after the Trojan War.

The film is the first in cinema history to be shot entirely on Imax film, and features a star-studded cast including Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and Robert Pattinson.
