\n\t\u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a>\u201d is continuing its unparalleled box office run, scoring another $145 million domestically during its second weekend in theaters.<\/p>\n

\n\tJust to put those stratospheric ticket sales in context, only one movie this year \u2014 \u201cToy Story 5\u201d \u2014 earned around that much in its opening weekend, with Disney\u2019s Pixar adventure debuting to $159 million. \u201cBrand New Day\u201d scored the third-biggest second weekend of all time, trailing just 2015\u2019s \u201cStar Wars: The Force Awakens\u201d with $149 million and 2019\u2019s \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d with $147 million. Only eight movies have ever surpassed $100 million in their sophomore outings. <\/p>\n

\n\tAfter opening to a record-setting $355 million domestically and heroic $932 million globally, \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d has now generated a staggering $655 million in North America and $1.67 billion globally. Sony and Marvel\u2019s web-slinging adventure, starring Tom Holland as the title hero, flew past the billion-dollar mark in just six days and is barreling toward $2 billion. At this pace, box office watchers are wondering whether \u201cSpidey\u201d has the staying power to become the first movie to ever reach $1 billion at the domestic box office and become the sole film to hit $3 billion globally. \u201cThe Force Awakens\u201d is currently the highest-grossing release in domestic box office history with $936.6 million, while 2009\u2019s \u201cAvatar\u201d and \u201cAvengers: Endgame\u201d stand as the biggest movies worldwide with $2.9 billion and $2.7 billion, respectively, after several re-releases.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a distant second place on domestic box office charts, \u201cThe Odyssey<\/a>\u201d remained muscular with $31.5 million in its fourth weekend of release \u2014 a 38% decline. With $461 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d officially ranks as Christopher Nolan\u2019s highest-grossing movie of all time, overtaking 2012\u2019s \u201cThe Dark Knight Rises\u201d ($1.08 billion) and 2009\u2019s \u201cThe Dark Knight\u201d ($1.008 billion) to notch the achievement. <\/p>\n

\n\tNolan\u2019s Greek epic, starring Matt Damon, isn\u2019t close to slowing down in theaters. Imax screens are sold out through mid-September, with the format already contributing a massive $289 million in ticket sales. This weekend, \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d became Imax\u2019s highest-grossing release of all time, surpassing the lifetime haul of \u201cAvatar\u201d with $271 million. And the film doesn\u2019t even open in China, the world\u2019s second-biggest moviegoing market, until next week. It\u2019s a testament to Nolan\u2019s bankability that a nearly three-hour, adult-skewing sword-and-sandal adventure, adapted from Homer\u2019s 2,700-year-old poem, is one of this summer\u2019s biggest blockbusters.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cChristopher Nolan has earned audiences\u2019 trust by consistently delivering must-see theatrical events,\u201d says Jim Orr, Universal\u2019s president of domestic theatrical distribution. \u201cAnd\u00a0\u2018The Odyssey\u2019\u00a0is him operating at the peak of his powers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWith \u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d and \u201cThe Odyssey\u201d capturing the lion\u2019s share of attention, three new movies opened nationwide to mostly disappointing results. <\/p>\n

\n\tUniversal\u2019s raucous romantic comedy \u201cOne Night Only\u201d debuted below expectations with $5.7 million from 3,012 theaters, enough for third place on box office charts. Callum Turner and Monica Barbaro star in the R-rated movie, which revolves around two strangers who keep running into each other around a dystopian New York City on the one night a year when premarital sex is legal. Opening weekend crowds were mostly female (70%), while more than half of ticket buyers were between the ages of 18 and 34. Director Will Gluck\u2019s prior film, 2023\u2019s \u201cAnyone But You,\u201d starring Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell, opened to $6 million. However, that movie, which opened around Christmastime, became a sleeper hit with $88 million domestically and $220 million globally by the end of its run. \u201cOne Night Only\u201d scored a decent \u201cB+\u201d grade on CinemaScore exit polls, so Universal is hoping the $25 million-budgeted movie can enjoy a similarly long life on the big screen.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSuper Troopers 3\u201d launched at No. 4 with $4 million from 2,760 venues, by far the lowest start in the comedy trilogy. The original 2001 adventure, following the over-the-top antics of a ragtag group of New England highway patrol officers, opened to $6.2 million, not adjusted for inflation, while the 2018 sequel captured $15.1 million in its debut. Critics and audiences were mixed on the hijinks of Broken Lizard, the comedy troupe at the center of these movies, with \u201cSuper Trooper 3\u201d landing a \u201cB-\u201d grade on CinemaScore and 48% on Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

\n\tDirector Eli Roth\u2019s slasher \u201cIce Cream Man\u201d scraped together $2 million from 1,671 screens in its opening weekend, landing in eighth place behind holdovers like \u201cToy Story 5,\u201d \u201cMinions & Monsters\u201d and \u201cMoana.\u201d Roth, who directed \u201cBorderlands\u201d after making a name for himself with gory thrillers like \u201cHostel\u201d and \u201cThe Green Inferno,\u201d raised the $5.5 million needed to fund \u201cIce Cream Man\u201d and self-distributed the movie through his indie company The Horror Section. <\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, three indie releases \u2014 A24\u2019s coming-of-age story \u201cTony,\u201d Mubi\u2019s slasher \u201cTeenage Sex and Death and Camp Miasma\u201d and Magnolia\u2019s New York-set drama \u201cLate Fame\u201d \u2014 each managed to impress while playing on just a few screens.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTony,\u201d a biopic about the origins of celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, served up one of the best screen averages of the year with $348,955 from six screens in New York City and Los Angeles \u2014 translating to $58,159 per location. A24 is behind the other top screen averages of 2026, including the Charli XCX mockumentary \u201cThe Moment\u201d ($107,000 per screen) and Olivia Wilde\u2019s relationship drama \u201cThe Invite ($54,158 per screen). Those metrics don\u2019t always result in populist hits. \u201cThe Moment\u201d fizzled with $5 million globally, while \u201cThe Invite\u201d has earned a solid $42 million and counting. \u201cTony,\u201d directed by Matt Johnson and starring \u201cThe Holdovers\u201d breakout Dominic Sessa as a young Bourdain, has been positively reviewed, though its commercial appeal will be tested as A24 continues to roll out the movie in select markets before bringing it nationwide on Aug. 21.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cTeenage Sex and Death and Camp Miasma,\u201d the latest from \u201cI Saw the TV Glow\u201d director Jane Schoenbrun, earned $251,000 from five screens \u2014 averaging $50,300 per location. Nearly 80% of audiences were under 35, while half were under 25 years old, according to exit polls. The well-reviewed movie revolves around a filmmaker (Hannah Einbinder) who is hired to direct a reboot of a slasher franchise. Mubi will open the film, co-starring Gillian Anderson, in 50 new theaters next weekend before launching nationwide on Aug. 21.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cLate Fame,\u201d which is screening at just two theaters, New York\u2019s Film Forum and Film at Lincoln Center, brought in $38,000 or $19,000 per venue. Directed by Kent Jones, \u201cLate Fame\u201d follows Willem Dafoe as a former poet who befriends a group of young artists.<\/p>\n

\n\tNext weekend will bring a handful of new wide releases, including the Warner Bros. sci-fi mystery \u201cThe End of Oak Street\u201d with Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, Paramount\u2019s \u201cPAW Patrol: The Dino Movie\u201d and Black Bear\u2019s \u201cThe Rivals of Amziah King\u201d starring Matthew McConaughey. However, those movies won\u2019t be able to catch Spidey at the top of the box office charts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSpider-Man: Brand New Day\u201d is continuing its unparalleled box office run, scoring another $145 million domestically during its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":808096,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[88,206,13168,12720],"class_list":["post-808095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-spider-man-brand-new-day","tag-the-odyssey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808095","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=808095"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/808095\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/808096"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=808095"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=808095"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=808095"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
