Spider-Man: Brand New Day seemingly can’t be stopped at the box office. While we predicted an easy first-place win for it earlier this week, it actually rallied even harder than we assumed at the box office this weekend, scoring a big $39 million weekend, with the current domestic gross standing at $854 million. That makes it the third-highest-grossing movie of all time domestically, with it only $4 million away from beating Avengers: Endgame, which ended its run with $858.4 million. It should beat that number by midweek, with it looking like it could be the first movie ever to gross a billion dollars domestically. Internationally, it’s at $2.22 BILLION. It still has a way to go before it beats Avengers: Endgame‘s $2.80 billion international haul, but it could get there. Currently, James Cameron’s Avatar is the highest-grossing film ever, with $2.92 billion.
Insidious: Out of the Further scores a solid opening
As if that wasn’t already good enough news for Sony, they also had bragging rights in that the weekend’s runner-up movie, Insidious: Out of the Further, was one of theirs. It made a solid $25.3 million, which puts it ahead of the openings for the first and third films in the series, but behind Insidious: Chapter 2, Insidious: The Red Door, and Insidious: The Last Key. Yet, with a budget that’s rumoured to be in the high teens, clearly there’s still lots of demand out there for the series. It made ever more overseas, with its $35 million gross giving it a hefty $60.3 million international total
The Odyssey becomes Christopher Nolan’s biggest domestic hit
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey added another $19.5 million this weekend, with its $539 million domestic total now making it Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing movie ever — both domestically and abroad — beating The Dark Knight, which ended its run with $534 million. There is one caveat, though — if you adjust for inflation or tickets sold, The Dark Knight is still the champ, but either way, The Odyssey’s run at the box office has been legendary. It’s total worldwide gross is a huge $1.4 billion.
PAW Patrol and The End of Oak Street take steep falls
Last week’s holdovers, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie and The End of Oak Street, both saw steep falls in week two. PAW Patrol fell 51% to $9.1 million, which is steep for a family film. But The End of Oak Street did even worse, with a 57% decline and a $9 million weekend gross. Its domestic tally is only $38 million. Internationally, it didn’t fare much better, only grossing $11.2 million, with the worldwide total standing at $86 million. It will likely end its run in the $120 million range. Not great for a relatively big-budget movie.
Mutiny gives Jason Statham a modest debut
Jason Statham’s Mutiny made a modest debut in sixth place with $7.5 million, which beats the opening of his last movie, Shelter, which only made $5.5 million. No doubt this movie was hampered by the fact that Amazon leaked the entire film in its entirety earlier this week on Prime Video, with pirated copies of the movie making the rounds online.
Tony surprises while Spa Weekend tanks
One happy surprise this weekend is Matt Johnson’s Anthony Bourdain biopic, Tony, which expanded to a semi-wide run and grossed $5 million. That’s solid for a character-driven drama, with it looking like it might be a late-summer indie hit. Between this and Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, Johnson is on a roll.
Another surprise is the 25th-anniversary re-release of The Fast and the Furious, which made $3.1 million. Its success should encourage Universal to finally get the proposed final film in the saga, Fast Forever, underway.
Black Bear’s comedy Spa Weekend tanked with only $3.005 million, continuing the upstart company’s bad run at the box office (their amazing movie, The Rivals of Amziah King, also bombed last weekend). The top 10 was rounded out by the semi-wide expansion of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma. An arthouse hit, the film didn’t manage to find much of an audience in its wide break, earning only $1.93 million for a $3.68 million total.
Can Spider-Man score another $30 million weekend?
Next weekend looks like it’s going to be another easy win for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, with the only competition being Ridley Scott’s The Dog Stars. Do you think it will manage another $30 million-plus weekend? Let us know in the comments.
