- Spider-Man: Brand New Day targets $143M in its second weekend — the third-best sophomore frame in domestic history behind Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($149.2M) and Avengers: Endgame ($147.3M) — with PLF and added IMAX screens driving 33% of the gross.
- The Destin Daniel Cretton-directed film is the eighth title ever and first Sony release to clear $100M in its second weekend, surpassing Spider-Man: No Way Home's $84.5M Sony record.
- Brand New Day's 10-day domestic cume hits approximately $653M, the highest 10-day gross in domestic box office history, tracking 5% ahead of Avengers: Endgame's $621.2M at the same point.
- The overall weekend delivers $204M+, the third-best domestic frame of 2026 YTD, but the source stresses this isn't lifting all boats — counterprogramming and indies are being crushed.
- Universal's One Night Only (Will Gluck) opened to $6M — matching Anyone But You's debut — with mixed-negative social buzz criticizing its dystopian dating premise and viewers comparing it to The Purge.
- Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey holds second with $30.5M in its fourth weekend ($460.1M cume), on track to surpass The Dark Knight Rises as his highest-grossing film globally.
- Searchlight's Super Troopers 3 opened under $4M, below both predecessors and missing the 4/20 timing advantage; A24's Anthony Bourdain pic Tony posted a $60K theater average across six sites at 95% Rotten.
Why it matters: Sony/Marvel's release is rewriting superhero sequel records — at $653M in 10 days, it's tracking 5% ahead of Endgame's pace. Exhibition gets the third-best domestic weekend of 2026 ($204M+) from the Spider-Man/Odyssey combo, but counterprogramming like One Night Only ($6M) and Super Troopers 3 (under $4M) is being crushed.
