Movie Monday: ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Snares Another Win

The latest Spider-Man movie may be titled Brand New Day, but at the box office, it comes with the same old results.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day cruised to its third straight weekend win in North America. It earned an estimated $48.3 million—more than doubling the take of its closest competitor—and pushed its total domestic gross to a staggering $785.8 million.

Brand New Day is already the year’s highest-grossing movie in North America, of course. It took those honors last week. Now all eyes are on the box office’s all-time list, where it currently rests at No. 4. It might be tough for Spidey to catch Star Wars: Episode VII—The Force Awakens and its $936.7 million to become the highest-grossing film of all time. But Avengers: Endgame ($858.4 million) and Spider-Man: No Way Home ($814.9 million) are very much in danger of being knocked down a peg.

And this is to say nothing of Brand New Day’s overseas domination. The latest Spider-Man movie has now earned more than $2 billion worldwide—enough to put it eighth on the globe’s all-time list. While it might not eclipse Avatar and its $2.9 billion worldwide gross, it trails Avengers: Infinity War for the seventh spot by less than $27 million.

Another box-office holdover, The Odyssey, continues to float at No. 2. It earned another $23.2 million stateside, which gives it $504.7 million in domestic moolah. And it likes that second-place slot just fine, it would seem. In fact, it went ahead and took that silver-medal position in the yearly domestic chart, too, pushing past Toy Story 5 and its $475.5 million.

A horde of newcomers tried (and failed) to topple these two titans. The dinosaur-themed actioner The End of Oak Street was transported into the neighborhood of third place, gobbling up $21 million in box-office receipts. Another dino-themed film—the appropriately named PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie—thumped to fourth place with $20.5 million.

Everything else fell quite a bit behind the big four. The music doc Katseye: Wild Hearts closed out the top five with an estimated $4 million, while Six: The Musical Live! finished (again, rather appropriately) sixth with $3 million. The Cold War drama The Brink of War talked its way into seventh place with $2.7 million.

The Rivals of Amziah King, a surprisingly sweet, bee-themed crime drama, couldn’t stir up enough buzz to climb any higher than 15^th, with just a little more than $1 million in earnings. And the tiny Christian flick Elijah Peel landed with a thud at No. 20, earning just $250,000.
