Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to dominate the box office in its fourth weekend. The superhero blockbuster held off newcomers Insidious: Out of the Further and the Jason Statham action film Mutiny while adding another major milestone to its record-setting run.
Sony Pictures claimed the top two spots at the domestic box office. Brand New Day led the weekend with $39 million, while Insidious: Out of the Further debuted in second place with $25.3 million.
‘Brand New Day’ Reaches Another Box Office Milestone
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now earned $854.9 million domestically through Sunday. That total pushes it past 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home to become the third highest-grossing film in domestic box office history.
The achievement also makes Brand New Day Sony’s highest-grossing domestic release. The film set another studio record last weekend when it became the highest-grossing global release in Sony history.
The movie is also climbing the worldwide rankings. Brand New Day has reached $2.22 billion globally, making it the sixth highest-grossing film of all time.
That total moves the film ahead of 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens, which falls to seventh place with $2.07 billion. Brand New Day now trails Titanic at No. 5 with $2.26 billion and Ne Zha 2 at No. 4 with $2.27 billion.
‘Insidious’ Returns With a $25.3 Million Opening
Insidious: Out of the Further opened in second place with $25.3 million. The film marks the sixth installment in the long-running horror franchise from Screen Gems, Stage 6 Films and Blumhouse Atomic Monster.
The series began with the original Insidious in 2011. With no major studio horror releases scheduled for the next four weeks, Out of the Further could benefit from limited competition as it continues its theatrical run.
Audiences gave the movie a C+ CinemaScore. That ties 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door for the lowest CinemaScore in franchise history.
Globally, Out of the Further has earned $60.3 million. Its debut pushed the combined Insidious franchise past $800 million worldwide.
The film opened in 3,330 North American theaters and stars Amelia Eve, Brandon Perea and Lin Shaye. The story follows a young mother who discovers that she can bring spirits back with her into the real world.
Out of the Further follows The Red Door, which brought original franchise stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne back to the series. That film opened with $33 million domestically and finished its theatrical run with $189 million worldwide.
“This summer has been so big,” Regal Global Entertainment head of marketing Vikki Neil told The Hollywood Reporter. “Spider-Man, obviously, is huge, and we’re seeing horror films, as a general rule, do extremely well for us. We definitely see a lot of those perform really well with young people.”
Out of the Further carries an $18 million production budget. It holds a 57 percent critics score and a 70 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Critic Frank Scheck wrote in his review for The Hollywood Reporter that the film “proves routine in its elaborate plot machinations.” The mixed critical response did not stop the movie from securing a strong second-place debut.
Jason Statham’s ‘Mutiny’ Opens in Sixth Place
Jason Statham returned to theaters this weekend with Mutiny. The action thriller earned $7.5 million from 2,600 North American screens to open in sixth place.
Lionsgate’s release received a B+ CinemaScore from audiences. MadRiver Pictures and Punch Palace Productions produced the film, which carries a $40 million production budget.
Jean-François Richet directed the feature. Statham plays a former Marine who sets out to prove his innocence after being framed for murder.
The film holds a 50 percent approval score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences have responded more positively, giving the movie an 87 percent score.
Mutiny arrives after Statham’s Shelter, which opened domestically with $5.5 million earlier this year for Black Bear. His latest release improved on that opening but remained outside the weekend’s top five.
‘The Odyssey’ Continues Its Blockbuster Run
Universal’s The Odyssey landed in third place with an estimated $19.5 million during its sixth weekend. The Christopher Nolan epic has now earned $539 million domestically.
The film is also set to become Nolan’s highest-grossing domestic release of his career. It will surpass the domestic total of his 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight.
Matt Damon stars as Odysseus in Nolan’s mythological epic. During the week, The Odyssey also passed Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide.
‘PAW Patrol’ and ‘The End of Oak Street’ Stay Close
PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is targeting $9.1 million in its second weekend. That puts the animated sequel in fourth place after a decline of roughly 54 percent.
The third movie in Paramount Pictures’ animated franchise has reached an estimated $35.4 million domestically. Its worldwide total has also crossed the $100 million mark, reaching $103.4 million.
Another dinosaur-themed release sits close behind. Director David Robert Mitchell’s The End of Oak Street is expected to earn around $9 million in its second weekend.
The Warner Bros. release has now generated approximately $38 million domestically over two weeks. Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star in the survival film, which landed in fifth place after declining roughly 57 percent.
A24’s ‘Tony’ Expands Nationwide
A24 expanded Tony into wide release during its third weekend. The film stars Dominic Sessa as a teenage Anthony Bourdain and earned an estimated $5 million from 1,600 North American screens.
That performance places the film seventh for the weekend. Its domestic total now stands at approximately $6.6 million.
‘The Fast and the Furious’ Returns to Theaters
Universal brought The Fast and the Furious back to theaters for its 25th anniversary. The rerelease earned an estimated $3.1 million to take eighth place.
The original Vin Diesel film earned $207 million worldwide during its initial theatrical run. It launched a franchise that is now preparing a long-awaited eleventh installment.
‘Spa Weekend’ Takes Ninth Place
Black Bear’s comedy Spa Weekend landed in ninth place with an estimated $3.05 million. The film played in 2,000 domestic locations during the weekend.
Audiences gave the comedy a B+ CinemaScore. Jon Lucas and Scott Moore directed the film, which stars Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau and Anna Faris.
‘Magic Faraway Tree’ Falls Outside the Top 10
The Magic Faraway Tree, starring Andrew Garfield, is heading toward an estimated $1.3 million from 1,600 North American screens. That result leaves the literary adaptation just outside the weekend’s top 10.
Vertical released the film, which was directed by Ben Gregor and also stars Claire Foy. Mubi’s Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma secured the No. 10 position with $1.9 million.
‘Obsession’ Crosses $500 Million Worldwide
Focus Features also reached a major milestone this weekend with Obsession. Filmmaker Curry Barker’s low-budget horror hit crossed $500 million at the worldwide box office.
The film’s global total now stands at $501.6 million. Its performance adds another horror success to a summer already delivering strong results for the genre.
Spider-Man Keeps Climbing the Record Books
Destin Daniel Cretton’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day remains the biggest story at the box office. Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal star in the blockbuster, which recently became the fastest film ever to reach $800 million domestically.
By the end of the weekend, only two films will have earned more money domestically. They are 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame.
The film’s continued strength has helped power a strong year for theaters. According to Rentrak, the 2026 domestic box office has now crossed $7 billion.
That puts the year 20.4 percent ahead of 2025’s returns at the same point. Summer releases have combined for an estimated $4.444 billion domestically, which is 25.5 percent higher than last year’s total at this stage.
The all-time summer record still belongs to 2013. That season generated $4.75 billion at the domestic box office.
