- Spider-Man: Brand New Day led the domestic box office Friday with $19 million, targeting $67 million for its third weekend — a roughly 53% drop — and pushing its North American total toward $783 million.
- The End of Oak Street opened in second with $8.1 million from 3,446 theaters, with weekend estimates of about $18.7 million against an $80 million-plus production budget; the film earned an 84% Rotten Tomatoes score and a "B" CinemaScore that could help it leg out.
- PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie landed in third with $7.35 million on Friday from 3,545 cinemas, tracking toward roughly $20 million for Paramount — in line with predecessor "The Mighty Movie," which opened with $22 million and finished at $205 million.
- The Odyssey held No. 4 in its fifth weekend with $6.5 million Friday and a projected $23 million weekend, crossing $504 million domestically for Christopher Nolan's Greek epic.
- Katseye: Wild Hearts debuted in fifth with an estimated $2.2 million Friday from 724 theaters, on pace for about $3.8 million by Sunday.
- David Robert Mitchell — the "It Follows" filmmaker — wrote and directed "The End of Oak Street," starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as a suburban family whose neighborhood is suddenly shifted to prehistoric times.
Why it matters: Warner Bros. faces a make-or-break theatrical hold for "The End of Oak Street" — its 84% Rotten Tomatoes score and "B" CinemaScore give it room to leg out, but an $18.7 million opening against an $80 million-plus budget leaves thin margin. Meanwhile, "The Odyssey" quietly crossing $504 million domestically in weekend five cements it as Nolan's biggest North American run ever, a milestone the headlines are burying under Spider-Man.
