ENTERTAINMENT — Spider-Man: Brand New Day has retained the No. 1 position at the North American box office for a third consecutive weekend, adding an estimated $70 million to its domestic total as the superhero blockbuster continues its extraordinary theatrical run.
The latest result puts the Tom Holland-led film at approximately $785.8 million domestically, while its worldwide earnings have now crossed the $2 billion milestone.
The film's continued dominance came despite the arrival of several new releases, including Warner Bros.' prehistoric thriller The End of Oak Street, which opened with an estimated $21 million in North America.
Spider-Man Holds the Box Office Crown Again
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has now spent three consecutive weekends at the top of the domestic box office.
The $70 million third-weekend performance is particularly significant because the movie is already deep into its theatrical run and is still generating blockbuster-level revenue.
That places it among the highest-grossing movies in North American box-office history and puts it within striking distance of several major records.
The film's ability to maintain strong attendance after its massive opening demonstrates that audiences are continuing to choose the latest Spider-Man adventure even as new movies enter theaters.
The Movie Has Now Passed $2 Billion Worldwide
The domestic performance is only part of the story.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has also become a global phenomenon, with worldwide ticket sales surpassing $2 billion after only three weekends.
That places the film in an extremely exclusive group of movies to reach the milestone.
The international market has played a major role in the film's success, adding more than $1.2 billion to its global total.
The result also makes Brand New Day one of the biggest theatrical releases in the history of the Spider-Man franchise.
‘The Odyssey’ Continues to Hold Second Place
While Spider-Man remains comfortably ahead, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues to perform strongly.
The epic remained in second place with approximately $23.2 million during its fifth weekend in North American theaters.
Its global box-office total has now reached roughly $1.2 billion.
The film's endurance is notable because it has remained a major theatrical attraction several weeks after release while competing against one of the year's biggest superhero movies.
Rather than disappearing once newer blockbusters arrived, The Odyssey has continued to attract audiences and generate substantial international revenue.
‘The End of Oak Street’ Opens in Third Place
Warner Bros.' The End of Oak Street entered the domestic market with an estimated $21 million from its opening weekend.
The prehistoric action thriller opened in thousands of North American theaters and finished slightly behind another dinosaur-themed release, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, in some early weekend estimates before final figures were established.
The $21 million debut is respectable, but it falls well short of the level required to challenge the biggest blockbusters currently dominating the market.
The film stars Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor and was written and directed by David Robert Mitchell.
A Different Kind of Dinosaur Movie
The End of Oak Street enters a marketplace where audiences have already demonstrated strong interest in large-scale spectacle.
However, the movie is not positioned exactly like the traditional Jurassic World-style franchise film.
Its combination of prehistoric survival, action and thriller elements gives it a different identity, potentially allowing it to attract audiences looking for something outside established dinosaur franchises.
The challenge is turning that initial curiosity into strong word of mouth and sustained ticket sales in the weeks ahead.
‘Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie’ Makes a Strong Family Debut
Another major newcomer was Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie, which generated approximately $20.5 million domestically.
Although its opening was slightly below The End of Oak Street, the family film benefited from a different audience demographic.
Family-oriented movies can sometimes show stronger staying power because they are less dependent on the same audience that drives opening-weekend blockbuster numbers.
The film also received a strong audience response, which could help its performance over the coming weeks.
Spider-Man Is Operating on Another Level
The most striking feature of this weekend's box office is not simply that Spider-Man remained No. 1.
It is the size of the gap between the superhero film and the new releases.
Brand New Day earned approximately three times as much domestically as The End of Oak Street during the weekend.
That is a remarkable advantage for a movie already in its third weekend.
Normally, a major new release has an opportunity to challenge an older film because marketing campaigns, curiosity and opening-weekend demand can produce a significant surge.
That did not happen here.
Instead, Spider-Man continued to dominate.
The $2 Billion Milestone Changes the Conversation
Crossing $2 billion worldwide moves Spider-Man: Brand New Day beyond the discussion of whether the movie is merely successful.
It has become one of the defining theatrical hits of 2026.
The film's performance also demonstrates the continuing financial power of globally recognizable superhero characters when audiences remain interested in the central character and franchise.
For Sony and Marvel, the result provides a significant commercial victory and strengthens the long-term value of Spider-Man as one of Hollywood's most powerful theatrical properties.
Spider-Man Is Closing in on More Domestic Records
With approximately $785.8 million already earned in North America, Brand New Day is now competing with some of the biggest domestic releases in box-office history.
The movie has already moved into the upper tier of all-time domestic performers.
The next question is how far its theatrical run can ultimately go.
If the film continues to show strong week-to-week stability, it could challenge additional major milestones before its theatrical run is finished.
However, predicting the final number this early would be premature because upcoming releases, audience fatigue and the normal slowdown that accompanies a movie's later weeks can significantly affect its trajectory.
Why the Third Weekend Matters
A blockbuster's opening weekend demonstrates how much immediate demand exists.
The third weekend tells a different story.
By that point, the most enthusiastic fans have already seen the movie, and the film must rely increasingly on casual audiences, repeat viewings and positive word of mouth.
That makes a $70 million third weekend particularly important.
It suggests that Brand New Day has moved beyond the initial fan-driven phase and remains a major mainstream theatrical attraction.
Hollywood's Summer Box Office Remains Strong
The weekend also highlights the strength of the broader 2026 summer movie season.
Several major productions have managed to generate substantial theatrical revenue, helping cinemas avoid the weaker late-summer period that sometimes follows the biggest releases of the year.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey have been particularly important to that performance.
The two films have demonstrated that audiences are still willing to spend money on large-scale theatrical experiences when studios provide movies that create a strong reason to leave home and visit a cinema.
The Real Challenge for New Releases
The performance of The End of Oak Street illustrates the difficulty facing new films in a blockbuster-heavy market.
A movie does not simply have to compete with other new releases.
It must also compete with successful films that audiences have already embraced.
When a movie such as Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to generate $70 million in its third weekend, the amount of attention and disposable entertainment spending available for newcomers becomes more limited.
That can make it harder for a new film to establish momentum.
Strong Reviews Could Still Help Oak Street
The $21 million opening does not necessarily determine the final outcome for The End of Oak Street.
Its long-term performance will depend heavily on audience reaction.
A movie with a modest opening can become a sleeper hit if viewers recommend it to friends and the film maintains strong attendance during its second, third and fourth weekends.
That makes the next few weeks more important than the opening weekend alone.
If the film experiences a relatively small second-weekend decline, Warner Bros. could still have a meaningful theatrical performer on its hands.
The Box Office Top Five
Based on current weekend estimates, the top five North American releases were led by Spider-Man: Brand New Day, followed by The Odyssey, The End of Oak Street, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie and Katseye: Wild Hearts.
The top of the chart shows a clear divide between established blockbuster power and the performance of newer releases.
Spider-Man and The Odyssey continue to command significantly more theatrical attention than most of the competition.
What This Means for the Movie Industry
The weekend provides another indication that audiences have not abandoned cinemas.
Instead, audiences appear to be concentrating their spending on movies that generate strong awareness and give them a compelling reason to watch on the big screen.
That is good news for major theatrical releases but creates a tougher environment for films without established franchises or unusually strong audience buzz.
The lesson for studios is straightforward: releasing a movie into theaters is no longer enough. The movie must create an event that audiences believe is worth experiencing in a cinema.
Our Perspective
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is no longer simply another successful superhero movie.
A $70 million third weekend, approximately $785.8 million domestically and more than $2 billion worldwide put the film in a completely different commercial category.
The more interesting question now is not whether Spider-Man is successful. That question has already been answered.
The question is how high the movie can ultimately climb.
Its continued dominance shows that the theatrical market still has enormous power when a movie becomes a genuine global event.
Conclusion
Spider-Man: Brand New Day remained No. 1 at the North American box office with an estimated $70 million in its third weekend, pushing its domestic total to approximately $785.8 million and its worldwide haul beyond $2 billion.
The Odyssey held second place with about $23.2 million, while The End of Oak Street opened in third with approximately $21 million. Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie followed closely with around $20.5 million.
The results demonstrate the extraordinary staying power of Spider-Man while also showing how difficult it is for new releases to break through when major blockbusters continue attracting audiences weeks after their debuts.
For now, the box office belongs to Spider-Man — and Hollywood's biggest question is whether anything arriving next can finally take the crown away.
