- 'The End of Oak Street' earned $2.5M in Thursday previews, with Warner Bros. projecting $18-23M domestically and $20-25M internationally — a range that adds up to the $38-48M global opening Deadline cites in its headline.
- Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star in the Warner Bros. film as suburbanites magically transported to prehistoric times; with a budget above $80M, the studio is leaning on positive reviews and word-of-mouth to push it toward profitability during the 'dog days of summer.'
- 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' is projected to top the charts a third straight weekend with $65-70M (a roughly 55% decline), sitting on $1.68B globally after 12 days and tracking toward the $2B worldwide mark.
- 'Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie' posted $1.9M in previews and is projected for a $20M opening; its $40M budget, split between Paramount and Spin Master, is slightly larger than the 2023 spinoff's $30M price tag.
- 'The Odyssey' is aiming to add $17-20M in its fifth weekend, while a trio of new releases — 'The Wrong Girls,' 'The Rivals of Amziah King,' and 'The Brink of War' — are all looking at single-digit openings.
Why it matters: With an $80M+ budget and the box office's 'dog days of summer' ahead, 'The End of Oak Street' needs strong word-of-mouth and positive reviews to turn a profit while 'Spider-Man' cruises toward $2B globally. 'Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie's' $40M budget — split between Paramount and Spin Master — also faces pressure against the superhero juggernaut, leaving little oxygen for three additional single-digit newcomers.
