\n\tLong may Peter Parker reign! Sony\u2019s Marvel adventure \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>\u201d continues to dominate at the box office, collecting $39 million in its fourth weekend of release.<\/p>\n

\n\tDespite a smattering of newcomers, Spidey remained at No. 1 ahead of another Sony release, \u201cInsidious: Out of the Further<\/a>.\u201d Much lower down on box office charts were Lionsgate\u2019s action-thriller \u201cMutiny,\u201d starring Jason Statham, and Black Bear\u2019s comedy \u201cSpa Weekend,\u201d led by Isla Fisher,\u00a0Leslie Mann,\u00a0Anna Faris and\u00a0Michelle Buteau.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d has been unstoppable on the big screen with $855 million in Stateside revenues and $2.22 billion globally to date. It\u2019s the fourth film to surpass $800 million in North America and currently ranks as the third-highest grossing domestic release ever, not far behind 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d ($858 million) and within reach of 2015\u2019s all-time champ \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d ($936 million).<\/p>\n

\n\tWith no sign of slowing down, the newest \u201cSpider-Man\u201d is primed to eventually overtake \u201cThe Force Awakens\u201d as the biggest movie ever at the domestic box office \u2014 and could even be the first to clear $1 billion in North America. Meanwhile, \u201cBrand New Day\u201d is the third-highest grossing movie in history in terms of worldwide grosses, behind just 2009\u2019s \u201cAvatar\u201d ($2.9 billion) and \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d ($2.7 billion) and ahead of 2022\u2019s \u201cAvatar: The Way of Water\u201d ($2.3 billion).<\/p>\n

\n\tSecond place went to \u201cInsidious: Out of the Further\u201d with $25.3 million from 3,303 theaters. The movie also earned $35 million internationally for a global start of $60 million. Domestic ticket sales are behind the franchise\u2019s prior entry, 2023\u2019s \u201cThe Red Door,\u201d with $33 million. However, the paranormal sequel cost just $18 million to produce, so it won\u2019t require a huge turnout to reap box office rewards. \u201cInsidious\u201d revolves around a purgatorial place inhabited by the tortured spirits of the dead, and it\u2019s been commercially successful for Sony and Blumhouse, with the five prior installments having generated a combined $800 million worldwide against low budgets. While the 2013 sequel \u201cInsidious: Chapter 2\u201d maintains the record for the biggest debut in the franchise with $40 million, \u201cThe Red Door\u201d ranks as the highest-grossing installment to date with $189 million worldwide.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe drop from\u00a0[the previous installment\u2019s] opening in July 2023 is substantial but typical of these sequels,\u201d says David A. Gross, who publishes the box office newsletter FranchiseRe. In general, he notes, \u201cthe horror audience is thoroughly engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe Odyssey\u201d landed at No. 3 with a remarkable $19.5 million in its sixth frame, a decline of just 17% from the weekend prior. Christopher Nolan\u2019s blockbuster is the second-biggest movie of the year, as well as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time, with $539 million in North America and $1.44 billion worldwide to date.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMutiny\u201d launched in sixth place, on the lower end of expectations with $7.5 million from 2,703 theaters. It\u2019s a weak start against the movie\u2019s $40 million production budget. (Lionsgate acquired North American rights but didn\u2019t finance the film.) Statham plays a former Marine who has to prove his innocence after he\u2019s framed for murdering his billionaire boss. Audiences were kinder to the film than critics, with \u201cMutiny\u201d scoring a \u201cB+\u201d grade on CinemaScore exit polls and a tepid 50% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis is a fair domestic opening,\u201d Gross says. \u201cOverseas is where Statham does particularly well and where the movie should make money.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSpa Weekend\u201d fared even worse, crash-landing at No. 9 with $3.05 million from 2,009 screens. It carries a roughly $20 million price tag and likely won\u2019t earn enough to justify Black Bear\u2019s spend on the R-rated comedy. Directed by\u00a0Jon Lucas\u00a0and\u00a0Scott Moore, the movie follows three burned-out childhood besties who travel to a luxury resort in Palm Springs. \u201cSpa Weekend\u201d also earned a decent \u201cB+\u201d grade on CinemaScore but was saddled with a much harsher 33% on Rotten Tomatoes from film reviewers.<\/p>\n

\n\tTwo holdover titles, \u201cThe End of Oak Street\u201d and \u201cPAW Patrol: The Dino Movie,\u201d rounded out the top five. Both films earned roughly $9 million in their sophomore outings (with each suffering a 60% decline from their respective debuts), so the final order on box office charts won\u2019t be confirmed until Monday.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe End of Oak Street,\u201d a prehistoric sci-fi mystery starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, has generated $38 million in North America and $86 million globally. Warner Bros. spent $80 million on the movie, and since theater owners get to keep about half of ticket sales, \u201cOak Street\u201d needs to gross roughly $200 million to break even in its theatrical run.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cPAW Patrol,\u201d a sequel based on the popular Nickelodeon television series for preschoolers, has earned $35.4 million domestically and $103 million worldwide. It carries a $40 million production budget, which was split between Paramount and Spin Master.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs popcorn season winds down, cinema operators are rejoicing because it\u2019s already the highest-grossing summer movie season since COVID upended the industry in 2020. Now it\u2019s up to fall releases \u2014 including Tom Cruise\u2019s comedy \u201cDigger,\u201d \u201cPractical Magic 2\u201d with Nicole Kidman and Sandra Bullock, a \u201cResident Evil\u201d reboot from \u201cWeapons\u201d director Zach Cregger and Colleen Hoover\u2019s \u201cVerity\u201d adaptation led by Hathaway and Dakota Johnson \u2014 to sustain the momentum. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere are a lot of cool and original ideas for the fall, which is what everyone wants to see,\u201d exhibitor Chris Randleman of Flix Brewhouse told Variety<\/a>. He says theater owners aren\u2019t comparing the autumn box office to summer, which is the biggest time of year for moviegoing. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at whether we\u2019re better off than we were last [fall]. Even if it\u2019s a low bar, we are definitely going to exceed last year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Long may Peter Parker reign!
