\n\tAfter the fireworks of the summer, the season comes to an end with a sleepy weekend at the box office<\/a>, at least in terms of new entries like By Any Means and Onslaught<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tSony and Marvel\u2019s Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> is expected to be No. 1 for its sixth weekend in a row, with roughly $22 million over the four-day frame. The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed feature just crossed $900 million domestically, making it only the second film ever to do so, behind 2015\u2019s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which stands as the all-time domestic holder at $936 million. Brand New Day should pass that record soon to become the all-time domestic leader. Globally, Brand New Day has surpassed $2.33 billion, making it the No. 3 movie of all time behind Avatar and Avengers: Endgame, after passing up Avatar: The Way of Water.<\/p>\n

\n\tChristopher Nolan\u2019s The Odyssey, now in its eighth weekend and also starring Brand New Day star Tom Holland, will come in at at No. 2 with around $16.4 million, which would put it at $588.1 million domestically through Monday for the Universal title.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis weekend\u2019s newcomers include By Any Means, filmmaker Elegance Bratton\u2019s true-life crime drama starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as an FBI agent sent into 1960s Mississippi to investigate the killings of civil rights leaders and Mark Wahlberg as a mob hitman he must work with on the case. Paramount is distributing the film, which was made and financed by Hammerstone. It\u2019s expected to bring in around $7 million for the four days.<\/p>\n

\n\tOnslaught, the modestly budgeted movie from A24 and filmmaker Adam Wingard, brought in $782,000 on Friday and is expected to end the weekend in the $2 million range. It stars Adria Arjona as a military vet who must protect her daughter from killer super soldiers. It stands at 54 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s a comedown from a year ago, when Weapons ruled the Labor Day box office, bringing in $48.7 million over the four days and cementing Zach Cregger as a top filmmaker<\/a>. Amy Madigan would go on to win the best supporting actress Oscar<\/a> for her portrayal of Aunt Gladys, with a prequel now in the works<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After the fireworks of the summer, the season comes to an end with a sleepy weekend at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":591522,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[5784,156,409,111,139,69,71039,4634],"class_list":["post-591521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-box-office","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-onslaught","tag-spider-man-brand-new-day"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591521","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=591521"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/591521\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/591522"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=591521"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=591521"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=591521"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
