- Spider-Man: Brand New Day crosses $900 million domestic Friday in 36 days — the fastest ever to that threshold and only the second film after Disney/Lucasfilm's Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) to reach it.
- Spider-Man: Brand New Day now eyes Force Awakens' $936.6M all-time domestic record, with a projected ~$18M over the Friday-Monday Labor Day stretch and a running cume of $899.7M through Thursday.
- Paramount's By Any Means earned $725,000 in Thursday previews across 2,350 theaters with a four-day outlook of $6M-$8M; the $29M Elegance Bratton-directed R-rated thriller starring Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II carries a 58% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- A24's Onslaught, directed by Adam Wingard, brought in $275,000 in previews at 1,900 theaters, projecting $5M-$7M against an estimated $15M budget and a 57% Rotten Tomatoes score.
- The weekend top five is led by Spider-Man: Brand New Day ($30.4M, Wk 5), followed by Coyote Vs. Acme ($22.4M opening), The Odyssey ($22.2M, $571.7M total in Wk 7), Insidious: Out of the Further ($14M, $47.5M total), and Dog Stars ($10.3M opening).
Why it matters: Spider-Man reaching $900M in 36 days puts it within roughly $37M of unseating The Force Awakens' decade-old domestic record. For Sony, the projected $18M Labor Day weekend signals sustained dominance heading into fall, while new releases By Any Means ($6M-$8M) and Onslaught ($5M-$7M) struggle to crack meaningful numbers against the incumbent.
