In a stunning display of box office dominance, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has continued its record-breaking streak, amassing $144.5 million in the US over its second weekend, according to studio estimates. The film, produced by Sony and Marvel Studios, has grossed an astounding $1.67 billion globally within just 10 days of release, placing it on track to become one of the biggest blockbusters ever. With a domestic total of $655.1 million and an overseas collection surpassing $1 billion, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has emerged as the highest grossing movie of the year, easily outpacing Toy Story 5. A remarkable feat, no Sony film has previously cleared $100 million in its second weekend. Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has also crossed the billion-dollar mark, adding $31.5 million domestically in its fourth weekend. This Homeric epic is not only the director's first movie to reach this threshold since 2012's The Dark Knight Rises but also ranks as Nolan's biggest box-office hit ever, surpassing both The Dark Knight Rises and 2009's The Dark Knight. The film's success can be attributed in part to its impressive performance on IMAX screens, where it has grossed $147.3 million domestically, making it the highest-grossing domestic release for the company of all time. These blockbusters have played a significant role in driving Hollywood towards its best box office year since the pandemic. Ticket sales are currently running 18.5% ahead of last year, with five $1 billion movies already released, more than any year since 2019. The upcoming release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey in China could further boost these numbers. In an attempt to provide some counterprogramming, two comedies – One Night Only and Super Troopers 3 – made little impact, opening with $5.7 million and $4 million respectively. A pair of limited releases, Tony and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, saw decent performances with strong per-location averages. The box office race is expected to intensify as final domestic figures are released on Monday.
