“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” held onto the top spot at the box office for a fourth straight weekend, fending off two new wide releases as it climbed to become the third highest-grossing film in domestic box office history.
The Weekend Numbers
Sony’s Marvel sequel added an estimated $36.5 million over the three-day weekend, a roughly 48 percent drop from the previous frame, pushing its domestic total to about $852.4 million. That figure moves “Brand New Day” past 2021’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” to become the third highest-grossing release in North American box office history, and makes it Sony’s highest-grossing domestic film ever, a record it also set globally last weekend.
Horror sequel “Insidious: Out of the Further,” also from Sony, opened in second place with roughly $23.7 million from about 3,300 theaters, actually edging out “Brand New Day” on Friday alone before the superhero film pulled ahead over the full weekend. The sixth entry in the franchise, directed by Jacob Chase and starring Lin Shaye, Amelia Eve and Brandon Perea, holds a 58 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes, similar to prior instalments in the series.
A Softer Landing for Statham
Jason Statham’s action thriller “Mutiny” opened in sixth place with about $7.4 million from roughly 2,700 North American theaters. The Lionsgate release, in which Statham plays a former Marine framed for murder aboard a cargo ship, landed below recent Statham vehicles such as “The Beekeeper” ($16.5 million opening) and “A Working Man” ($15 million), though ahead of this year’s “Shelter,” which opened to $5.2 million. The film received a B+ CinemaScore from opening-weekend audiences.
Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” rounded out the top of the chart in third place, adding roughly $18.5 million in its sixth weekend for a domestic total near $538 million, as the film continues its run toward becoming Nolan’s highest-grossing release.
Why It Matters
The weekend added to what is shaping up as one of the strongest summers at the domestic box office in years, with 2026’s summer titles collectively grossing an estimated $4.24 billion through the season, running well ahead of last year’s pace. With “Brand New Day” still drawing sizable crowds a month into its run and two new wide releases both clearing their opening projections, industry analysts have pointed to the frame as further evidence that audiences are still turning out for theatrical releases even late in the summer season.
