The film “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has successfully retained its first-place position at the box office during its fourth weekend, despite competition from various newcomers including a comedy, a horror film from a well-known franchise, a Jason Statham action movie, and a family movie. This week also marked a significant achievement for “The Odyssey,” as it became Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing movie ever both domestically and internationally.
As of now, for the year, The Odyssey ranks second only to Spider-Man. The latter film added $39 million to its total from 4,006 theaters across the U.S. and Canada, according to studio estimates released on Sunday. Having surpassed $854.9 million in North America, Spider-Man is on track to become the second highest-grossing domestic release of all time, with the current record held by Star Wars: The Force Awakens at $936.7 million.
Sony also dominated the weekend with its second biggest film, Insidious: Out of the Further. This sixth installment in the franchise, produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster, earned $25.3 million from 3,303 theaters in its opening weekend and $35 million internationally. Its production budget of $18 million makes it the most costly entry in the series.
In third place was The Odyssey, which recently achieved the milestone of being the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, surpassing Deadpool & Wolverine. In its sixth weekend in North American theaters, it generated $19.5 million, bringing its domestic total just under $539.1 million. This surpasses the previous record of $534.9 million set by The Dark Knight, not adjusting for inflation. Internationally, it added $68 million, significantly contributed by markets in China and Korea, resulting in a worldwide total of approximately $1.4 billion.
The various other new releases did not fare as well. Jason Statham's film Mutiny, in which he portrays a man falsely accused of murdering his billionaire boss, opened in sixth place with $7.5 million across 2,703 locations. The lackluster performance may have been affected by a recent unintentional free release on Prime Video just prior to its theatrical run, as well as poor reviews.
Another poorly received film, Spa Weekend, a girls' trip comedy featuring Isla Fisher, Leslie Mann, Anna Faris, and Michelle Buteau, garnered an estimated $3.1 million from 2,009 locations during its opening. Women comprised 84% of the ticket buyers according to PostTrak data. The 25th anniversary re-release of The Fast and the Furious slightly outperformed it.
Additionally, The Magic Faraway Tree, starring Andrew Garfield, opened outside the top 10 with $1.4 million from 1,611 screens. However, the young Anthony Bourdain documentary Tony showed resilience, earning $5 million from 1,652 screens.
This summer season, which extends until Labor Day, has reportedly generated approximately $4.4 billion in ticket sales in North America, ranking among the top four highest-grossing summers in history. Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends for Rentrak, expressed optimism, categorizing this summer as pivotal for the box office. He highlighted the difficulty of replicating this success in future summers.
Furthermore, Michael O’Leary, CEO of the movie theater trade organization Cinema United, emphasized the diversity of films available that have contributed to a robust summer. He indicated that the industry is recovering from the effects of the Hollywood strikes that occurred in 2023, noting a newfound excitement amongst moviegoers.
By now, the overall year has exceeded $7 billion in ticket sales, reflecting an increase of approximately 20.4% compared to 2025, although it trails 2019 by about 7.1%.
