The post ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Crosses $2.2 Billion Worldwide After Four Weekends appeared first on TheWrap.
Sony/Marvel Studios’ “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is continuing its charge towards the all-time domestic box office record with $39 million in its fourth weekend in theaters, remaining No. 1 on the charts over fellow Sony release “Insidious: Out of the Further.”
The fourth “Spider-Man” film starring Tom Holland now stands at $855 million domestic and $2.22 billion worldwide, putting it on the verge of passing the global total of last year’s smash hit Chinese animated film “Ne Zha 2.”
The film remains on pace to pass “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” as the highest grossing domestic film of all time before inflation adjustment and become the third movie to cross $2.5 billion worldwide.
“Insidious: Out of the Further” is in second with an opening weekend of $25.3 million domestic from 3,303 locations and $60.5 million worldwide. That’s a good start for the $18 million co-production between Screen Gems, Stage 6 and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster, even if it is below the $33 million domestic start of “Insidious: The Red Door” in 2023.
Reception for “Out of the Further” has been mixed-to-positive with Rotten Tomatoes scores of 58% critics and 70% audience. It also notched a C+ on CinemaScore, matching the grade of “The Red Door.” With this opening, the “Insidious” franchise has now passed $800 million in combined lifetime grosses over six films.
Universal/Syncopy’s “The Odyssey” is in third on the charts, continuing its excellent holds with $19.5 million in its sixth weekend to reach $539 million domestic, passing “The Dark Knight” as Christopher Nolan’s highest grossing domestic release before inflation adjustment. With $1.44 billion worldwide, the film is now roughly $230 million away from passing “Jurassic World” to become Universal’s unadjusted highest grossing film of all time.
“The Odyssey” also continues to climber higher on Imax’s all-time charts, becoming the first film in the premium format company’s history to gross $400 million worldwide even as it shares screens with “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.” A sizable $56 million of that has come from the film’s 41 Imax 70mm locations, which are set to continue screening the film for weeks and could keep “The Odyssey” earning $1 million-plus weekend totals well into autumn.
Completing the top 5 are Paramount/Spin Master’s “Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie” and Warner Bros./Bad Robot’s “The End of Oak Street” in their second weekends. “The Dino Movie” has added $9.1 million to bring its total to $35.4 million — slightly below the $38 million 10-day total of “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie” in 2023 — and a global total of $103.4 million.
Things are less rosy for “The End of Oak Street,” which after its $9 million second weekend now stands at $38 million domestic and $86 million worldwide against a reported $80 million budget. Despite strong reviews, the dinosaur thriller isn’t gaining significant traction with general audiences and caps off a summer of struggle for Warner Bros., which has yet to release a film this year that has grossed more than $100 million domestic or $250 million worldwide.
Outside the top 5 are several new releases and nationwide expansions, including Lionsgate’s Jason Statham action film “Mutiny,” which opened to $7.4 million from 2,703 locations, slightly above the $5.5 million that Statham’s previous film, “Shelter,” opened to in January. The film has Rotten Tomatoes scores of 50% critics and 87% audience, along with a B+ on CinemaScore.
In seventh is A24’s “Tony,” a biopic starring Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain in a recounting of the summer where the late chef and TV personality found his passion for cooking. After two weeks in limited release, the critically praised film earned $5 million from 1,642 locations this weekend for a $6.6 million running total.
In a narrow race for eighth are the Black Bear comedy “Spa Weekend” and a 25th anniversary re-release of Universal’s “The Fast and the Furious,” each with approximately $3.1 million. “Spa Weekend” marks Black Bear’s continued expansion into U.S. theatrical distribution, with a slate that includes the Olivia Colman/Alexander Skarsgard fantasy romance “Wicker” this October. The comedy starring Leslie Mann, Anna Faris, Isla Fisher and Michelle Buteau has Rotten Tomatoes scores of 34% critics and 75% audience.
Finally, Mubi’s nationwide expansion of Jane Schoenbrun’s genre-bending “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” earned $1.9 million from 1,036 locations, bringing its total to $3.6 million after two previous weeks in limited release. The acclaimed homage/deconstruction of 80s slasher films starring Hannah Einbender and Gillian Anderson is on pace to pass the $5 million box office total of Schoenbrun’s previous film, “I Saw the TV Glow,” which hit theaters in 2024.
