‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ swings to $145M 2nd weekend

LOS ANGELES – “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” raked in $145 million in its second weekend in North American theaters to easily retain the No. 1 spot at the box office, according to industry estimates released Sunday.

The Sony/Columbia Pictures/Marvel Studios release, which stars Tom Holland and Zendaya and was directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, has already made about $1.66 billion in worldwide ticket sales, and claimed the third-best second weekend domestically behind 2015’s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” and 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.”

‘The Odyssey’

“The Odyssey” was second with $31.5 million in its fourth weekend, and has made $461 million domestically and $1.1 billion worldwide.

The romantic comedy “One Night Only” opened with $5.7 million for a distant third place, Rentrak reported.

The comedy “Super Troopers 3” opened with $4 million, followed by “Toy Story 5,” which grossed $3.9 million Friday through Sunday in its eighth weekend in theaters.

“Minions & Monsters” was sixth with $3.5 million in its sixth week.

Rounding out the top 10 releases were “Moana” ($2.8 million), “Ice Cream Man” ($2 million), “The Invite” ($717,568) and “CatVideoFest 2026” ($568,414).

$203M weekend box office haul

This weekend’s overall three-day box office haul was estimated at $203 million. The year-to-date total is $6.608 billion — up 18.5% from the figure at this time last year, according to Rentrak.

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” continued its blistering pace in theaters, collecting $144.5 million domestically over its second weekend, while Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” set a new high for the director.

$1.67B worldwide

The Sony-Marvel release has accrued $1.67 billion worldwide in just 10 days of release, putting it on a trajectory to be among the biggest blockbusters ever. Domestically, no movie has wracked up a higher total faster. In U.S. and Canadian cinemas, “Brand New Day” has grossed $655.1 million thus far.

Overseas, it’s already surpassed $1 billion.

It took only seven days for “Brand New Day” to become the highest grossing movie of the year, easily displacing “Toy Story 5” ($1.07 billion worldwide). No Sony film has ever cleared $100 million in its second weekend before. It came close to toppling the best sophomore frame on record: “The Force Awakens,” with $149.2 million in 2015.

‘The Odyssey’ crosses $1B

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” also crossed $1 billion. In its fourth weekend, the Universal Pictures release added $31.5 million domestically to bring its global total to $1.1 billion.

Nolan’s Homeric epic is the director’s first movie to reach that threshold since 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises.” It now ranks as Nolan’s biggest box-office hit ever, not accounting for inflation, eclipsing both “The Dark Knight Rises” ($1.08 billion) and 2009’s “The Dark Knight” ($1 billion). Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” ($975 million) ended just shy of the milestone.

A big part of that success, of course, has been on IMAX. With $147.3 million domestically on the company’s large-format screens, “The Odyssey” now ranks as IMAX’s highest grossing domestic release of all time.

“The Odyssey” still has one major market left. It opens in China on Friday.

Best box-office year

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “The Odyssey” have helped drive Hollywood to its best box-office year since the pandemic. Ticket sales are running 18.5% ahead of last year, according to Rentrak. There have already been five $1 billion movies — more than any year since 2019. The other two were “Michael” and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.”

Rentrak forecasts that the overall summer theatrical revenue will reach $4 billion on Monday. That seasonal mark has long been a sign of thriving business for Hollywood. Since the pandemic, the only summer to surpass $4 billion was 2023, when “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” drove ticket sales.
