Spider-Man: Brand New Day box office: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Scores $70M in Third Weekend, Tops $2B Worldwide
Spider-Man: Brand New Day Holds No. 1 Spot at North American Box Office for Third Weekend
LOS ANGELES — Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued its dominant run at the North American box office, earning an estimated $70 million during its third weekend in theaters and maintaining its position as the top-grossing film in the domestic market.
The latest Marvel superhero installment, starring Tom Holland as Peter Parker and Zendaya as MJ, has emerged as one of the biggest cinematic successes of 2026. Since its July 31 release, the film has generated more than $2 billion worldwide, according to industry estimates from Exhibitor Relations.
The film’s strong third-weekend performance further cements its status as a global box-office phenomenon. It has also become Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened to an extraordinary $360 million in North America, setting a new record for the biggest domestic opening weekend on an unadjusted-for-inflation basis. The debut surpassed the previous record held by Disney and Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Endgame, which opened to $357 million in 2019.
Spider-Man continues to lead North American box office
Despite entering its third weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day remained far ahead of its nearest competitors.
The film’s latest performance demonstrates the continued strength of the Spider-Man franchise and the appeal of Holland’s portrayal of Peter Parker. The movie follows Parker as he confronts significant changes to his powers while attempting to navigate life in isolation after erasing his identity.
As Peter struggles with the consequences of his decision, he attempts to rebuild relationships with those closest to him. Among them are his former girlfriend, MJ, played by Zendaya, and his best friend, Ned, portrayed by Jacob Batalon.
At the same time, Peter faces a new threat to New York City, forcing him to balance his personal challenges with his responsibilities as Spider-Man.
The combination of an established Marvel character, returning stars and a new storyline has helped the film maintain strong audience interest weeks after its record-setting debut.
The Odyssey remains in second place
Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey remained in second place during its fifth weekend in theaters, collecting an estimated $23.2 million domestically for Universal.
Although its weekend total was less than one-third of Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s haul, The Odyssey continued to attract audiences during its extended theatrical run.
Nolan’s latest film has benefited from the director’s strong reputation for large-scale theatrical productions and continued interest in the epic adventure genre. Its fifth-weekend performance places it among the major releases contributing to a strong summer movie season.
The End of Oak Street opens in third
Warner Bros.’ science-fiction thriller The End of Oak Street debuted in third place, taking in an estimated $21 million during its opening weekend.
The film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as a couple forced to fight for survival after their neighborhood is mysteriously transported back to a prehistoric era.
The movie combines elements of science fiction, survival drama and adventure, giving Warner Bros. another significant theatrical release during a crowded summer box-office season.
Despite opening behind the two established blockbusters, its $21 million debut placed it among the weekend’s strongest new releases.
Paw Patrol sequel takes fourth place
Paramount’s animated feature Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie opened with an estimated $20.5 million in North America, securing fourth place.
The latest entry in the popular children’s franchise benefited from family audiences and the continued popularity of the Paw Patrol brand. Its debut adds another successful family-oriented title to a box office that has remained particularly active during the summer vacation period.
Meanwhile, Katseye: Wild Hearts, a film chronicling the pop girl group Katseye, opened in fifth place with approximately $3.6 million for Trafalgar Releasing.
The film’s performance highlights the growing role of music-related theatrical releases, particularly projects built around established fan communities.
Hollywood box office remains strong in August
The weekend results indicate that Hollywood is continuing to enjoy a robust year at the box office, even as the industry traditionally enters a slower period toward the end of August.
David A. Gross, an industry analyst, said moviegoing typically declines during the second half of August as children return to school. However, he noted that business remains unusually strong this year.
“The box office generally slows during the second half of August as kids start returning to school, but right now business remains extremely strong,” Gross said.
The continued performance of Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been a major contributor to that strength. Its record-breaking opening and sustained international appeal have helped drive overall theatrical revenues while providing exhibitors with a major late-summer attraction.
Remaining films in the top 10
The rest of the weekend’s top 10 included a mix of stage adaptations, dramas, animated films and special-event releases.
SIX The Musical Live! placed sixth with an estimated $3 million, followed by The Brink of War, which earned approximately $2.7 million.
Pixar’s Toy Story 5 took eighth place with an estimated $2.3 million, continuing its theatrical run as another major family title.
One Night Only ranked ninth with about $2 million, while Your Name 10th Anniversary rounded out the top 10 with an estimated $1.6 million.
The weekend rankings underscore the breadth of the current theatrical market, but one film remained clearly ahead of the field. With another $70 million added to its domestic total and more than $2 billion in worldwide ticket sales, Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to set the pace for Hollywood’s 2026 box office.
Its ability to retain the No. 1 position into its third weekend also signals that the latest chapter of Peter Parker’s story has moved beyond a blockbuster opening and into the territory of a sustained theatrical phenomenon.
