Spider-Man: Brand New Day Holds No. 1 for Fourth Weekend, Inches Toward $1 Billion Domestic
Spider-Man: Brand New Day collected $39 million at the North American box office in its fourth weekend of release, holding the No. 1 spot against a new horror entry and a string of late-summer openers, per Variety.
The film's domestic total now stands at $855 million — domestic meaning the United States and Canada. Worldwide, the figure is $2.22 billion. Both numbers are as of the August 21–23 weekend and are studio estimates until Monday's actuals are confirmed.
Only three films have ever crossed $800 million in North America. Spider-Man: Brand New Day is the fourth. It now ranks as the third-highest domestic release of all time, behind Avengers: Endgame ($858 million) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million), per Variety. The gap to Endgame sits at roughly $3 million. Variety projected the film could become the first to clear $1 billion at the domestic box office.
On the global all-time chart, Spider-Man: Brand New Day ranks third, behind Avatar ($2.9 billion) and Avengers: Endgame ($2.7 billion), and ahead of Avatar: The Way of Water ($2.3 billion).
What makes this run unusual is the durability. A $39 million fourth weekend means the film is still filling theatres a month into release, not merely coasting on its opening. Few titles hold top position for four consecutive frames in any season.
Behind the web, Insidious: Out of the Further opened in second place with $25.3 million from 3,303 theatres, per Variety. The previous entry, 2023's Insidious: The Red Door, debuted to $33 million; the franchise's best opening remains Insidious: Chapter 2 at $40 million in 2013. The Red Door is also the series' highest-grossing instalment worldwide, at $189 million. The five prior Insidious films combined for $740 million globally against low budgets; this sixth chapter cost $18 million to produce.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey took third place with $19.5 million in its sixth weekend, off 17% from the prior frame. Its running totals are $539 million domestic and $1.44 billion worldwide, making it the second-biggest film of the year and, per Variety, the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time.
Two other wide releases struggled to break through. Mutiny, starring Jason Statham, landed in sixth with $7.5 million from 2,703 theatres. The film carries a $40 million production budget; Lionsgate acquired North American rights but did not finance the picture. Audiences gave it a B+ on CinemaScore, while Rotten Tomatoes sat at 50%.
Spa Weekend, a comedy starring Isla Fisher, Leslie Mann, Anna Faris and Michelle Buteau, opened at No. 9 with $3.05 million from 2,009 screens. Directed by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the film was made for roughly $20 million.
For the market, the picture is straightforward. One blockbuster continues to dominate, a horror franchise posts a solid if unspectacular debut, and everything else fights for the margins of a crowded August corridor.
