Spidey Swings High for Third Weekend in N. American Box Office

Sony and Marvel’s comic-book sequel held No. 1 for a third straight weekend as domestic ticket sales climbed to $785 million.

  • On its third weekend, 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' dominated the North American box office with $70 million in ticket sales, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya.
  • Hollywood's summer box office revenue surpassed $4 billion, marking only the second time since COVID that the industry reached this milestone with domestic sales 23% ahead of 2025 levels.
  • Trailing the leader, Christopher Nolan's epic 'The Odyssey' earned $23.2 million in its fifth weekend, while Warner Bros.' 'The End of Oak Street' and Paramount's 'PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie' debuted with $21 million and $20.5 million.
  • The Marvel comic book epic has grossed $2.02 billion globally, standing as Sony Picture's highest-grossing film and becoming the second-fastest to join the $2 billion club after 'Avengers: Endgame.'
  • Although the box office typically slows during the second half of August as students return to school, industry analyst David A. Gross notes that "business remains extremely strong" as audiences continue seeking summer escapism.
