In its second weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has continued to perform extraordinarily well in theaters. It collected $144.5 million domestically, as estimated on Sunday. The Sony-Marvel film has achieved $1.67 billion worldwide in only ten days, aiming to become one of the biggest blockbusters to date. Domestically, it has achieved rapid success, accumulating $655.1 million in the U.S. and Canadian theaters. Outside these regions, it has already passed the $1 billion mark.
The movie swiftly became the highest-grossing film of the year in just seven days, surpassing Toy Story 5, which earned $1.07 billion worldwide. No Sony film previously reached $100 million in its second weekend. It nearly topped the best second weekend record held by The Force Awakens, which earned $149.2 million in 2015.
Christopher Nolan’s film, The Odyssey, also hit a significant milestone by surpassing $1 billion globally. In its fourth weekend, the Universal Pictures release added $31.5 million domestically, elevating its total to $1.1 billion. This marks Nolan’s first film to pass this threshold since 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises. It now stands as his most successful box-office hit, exceeding both The Dark Knight Rises and 2009’s The Dark Knight. However, Oppenheimer fell just short, grossing $975 million.
A significant portion of The Odyssey’s success comes from IMAX screenings.
With $147.3 million earned through IMAX domestically, it now holds the record for IMAX’s highest-grossing release. The Odyssey still has China as a major market, where it is set to open next Friday.
Both Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey have contributed to Hollywood’s most successful box-office year since the pandemic hit. Ticket sales are 18.5% higher than last year, as reported by Rentrak. This year already has five movies that have crossed the $1 billion mark, the most since 2019. Alongside these blockbusters, Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie joined the ranks.
Rentrak predicts that the summer’s total theater revenue will reach $4 billion on Monday. This mark is a traditional indicator of Hollywood’s thriving business. Since the pandemic started, only the summer of 2023, driven by hits like Barbie and Oppenheimer, surpassed $4 billion. As of Sunday, the summer revenue is just $14.8 million short of this target.
In contrast, two comedies attempted to draw audiences amidst the blockbuster frenzy, but their impact was limited. One Night Only, a romantic comedy by Will Gluck, opened with $5.7 million. The film, costing about $25 million, features Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner. Despite receiving poor reviews (46% on Rotten Tomatoes), it fared better with audiences, earning a “B+” CinemaScore. Meanwhile, Fox Searchlight’s Super Troopers 3 debuted with $4 million.
Two limited releases also found success. A24’s Tony, starring Dominic Sessa, earned $348,955, with one of the best per-theater averages of the year at $58,159. Mubi’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, directed by Jane Schoenbrun, debuted with $50,300 per screen across five locations.
