“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” collected $144.5 million domestically over its second weekend in theaters, maintaining a record-setting pace for Sony and Marvel, according to studio estimates released Sunday by the Associated Press. The film has accrued $1.67 billion worldwide in just 10 days of release.
Box Office Records and Global Milestones
In U.S. and Canadian cinemas, “Brand New Day” has grossed $655.1 million, making it the fastest movie to reach that domestic total, according to studio data reported by the Associated Press. Overseas, the release has already surpassed $1 billion. It took just seven days for the film to become the highest-grossing movie of the year, displacing “Toy Story 5” and its $1.07 billion worldwide total, per AP tracking. No Sony film has ever cleared $100 million in its second weekend before, bringing the title close to the sophomore record held by 2015’s “The Force Awakens” at $149.2 million.
“The Odyssey” Crosses One Billion
Universal Pictures’ “The Odyssey,” directed by Christopher Nolan, crossed the $1 billion threshold during its fourth weekend in theaters, adding $31.5 million domestically to reach $1.1 billion globally, according to the Associated Press. The Homeric epic marks Nolan’s first film to hit that benchmark since 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises” and stands as the director’s highest-grossing box-office hit, eclipsing both “The Dark Knight Rises” at $1.08 billion and “The Dark Knight” at $1 billion. IMAX reported $147.3 million domestically on its large-format screens, making “The Odyssey” the company’s highest-grossing domestic release of all time ahead of its Friday opening in China.
Summer Theatrical Revenue Growth
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “The Odyssey” have driven Hollywood toward its strongest box-office year since the pandemic, with ticket sales running 18.5% ahead of last year according to Rentrak data cited by the Associated Press. Five films have cleared $1 billion in 2026, alongside “Michael” and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.” Rentrak forecasts that overall summer theatrical revenue will reach $4 billion, a mark surpassed only once since the pandemic during the 2023 run of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer.”
New Releases and Limited Openings
Counterprogramming efforts made smaller impacts on the box office charts. The Will Gluck-directed romantic comedy “One Night Only,” starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner, opened with $5.7 million against a $25 million production budget, earning a 46% fresh score on Rotten Tomatoes and a “B+” CinemaScore from audiences. Fox Searchlight’s “Super Troopers 3” debuted in fourth place with $4 million. In limited release, A24’s “Tony,” starring Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain, grossed $348,955 for a per-theater average of $58,159, while Mubi’s “Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma” from director Jane Schoenbrun debuted with a per-location average of $50,300 across five screens, as reported by the Associated Press.
