- Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned $671 million domestically and $1.68 billion globally in 12 days, making it the highest-grossing film of the year and on track to become Hollywood’s first $2 billion blockbuster since Avatar: The Way of Water.
- The End of Oak Street is projected to debut with $20 million to $30 million from North American theaters, marking a solid but distant second behind Spider-Man despite starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor.
- PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie aims for a $20 million opening across 3,500 theaters, matching the performance of its predecessor and benefiting from limited competition in the family movie space since early July.
- The Odyssey adds $17 million to $20 million in its fifth weekend, bringing its global total to $1.11 billion and cementing Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film to date.
- The Wrong Girls, The Rivals of Amziah King, and The Brink of War are all expected to post single-digit debuts, opening on between 500 and 2,000 screens as counter-programming for adult audiences.
Why it matters: With Spider-Man: Brand New Day surpassing $1.68 billion globally in 12 days, it underscores the dominance of franchise-driven blockbusters in driving summer box office revenue, which has already exceeded $4 billion — a rare post-pandemic milestone. This leaves mid-budget films and adult-oriented releases struggling for attention despite recognizable stars.
