Spider-Man: Brand New Day simply refuses to surrender the top spot.
The Marvel blockbuster remained No. 1 at the domestic box office for a sixth consecutive weekend, collecting an estimated $18 million from 3,520 theaters. That pushes the film to approximately $917.8 million domestically, putting Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man adventure within striking distance of Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its long-standing domestic box office record.
The staying power tracks with our enthusiastic response to the movie — read our Spider-Man: Brand New Day review, where we called it a worthy follow-up to No Way Home.
Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey climbed back into second place, Coyote vs. Acme showed encouraging staying power in its second weekend, and By Any Means led the weekend’s newcomers.
Spider-Man Is Closing In On Box Office History
Six weekends.
Six No. 1 finishes.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day added another $18 million this weekend, bringing its domestic total to approximately $917.8 million.
That puts Spider-Man less than $20 million away from the $936.7 million domestic total of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, giving Brand New Day a legitimate opportunity to become the highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box office in unadjusted dollars.
At this point, the biggest question surrounding the movie’s theatrical run isn’t whether it has been successful. That was settled weeks ago.
It’s how high Spider-Man can climb before the run is over.
Tom Holland’s fourth solo Spider-Man movie has continued to draw audiences long after its enormous opening weekend, turning what was already one of 2026’s biggest movies into a genuine all-time box office phenomenon.
The Odyssey Keeps Sailing
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey moved into second place with another $13 million from 2,312 theaters.
That brings the epic’s domestic total to approximately $584.8 million, an extraordinary result for a movie that has now been playing for nearly two months.
The continued audience interest isn’t especially surprising given the film’s reception. In our The Odyssey review, we called Nolan’s adaptation a breathtaking epic and one of the director’s finest achievements.
Matt Damon leads the film as Odysseus, with an enormous ensemble that includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o and Charlize Theron.
Even with newer movies entering theaters, audiences continue to make the journey with Nolan.
Coyote Vs. Acme Holds Strong In Third
Coyote vs. Acme earned approximately $11.34 million from 3,727 theaters in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to roughly $33.8 million.
That’s an encouraging hold for a movie whose road to theaters once appeared impossible.
Warner Bros. famously shelved the completed film before Ketchup Entertainment eventually acquired it and gave Coyote vs. Acme the theatrical release filmmakers and fans had spent years fighting to see.
And the movie itself was worth the fight to save it.
In our Coyote vs. Acme review, we praised the film for embracing the anarchic spirit of the classic Looney Tunes while finding a surprisingly effective story about failure, persistence and the ultimate underdog.
The live-action/animated comedy stars Will Forte, John Cena and Lana Condor, with Dave Green directing.
After a solid opening last weekend, another $11.3 million suggests positive word of mouth may be helping Wile E. Coyote stick around.
Considering how close audiences came to never seeing the movie at all, its continued presence near the top of the box office remains one of the summer’s better Hollywood stories.
By Any Means Opens In Fourth Place
The weekend’s biggest new release, By Any Means, debuted in fourth place with approximately $7.4 million from 2,903 theaters.
Directed by Elegance Bratton, the crime drama stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg in a story inspired by true events.
Set against the civil rights era, the film follows a Black FBI agent forced to work with notorious mob figure Gregory Scarpa while investigating the murders of civil rights leaders.
A $7.4 million debut isn’t enough to challenge the blockbuster holdovers at the top of the chart, but it gives the adult crime drama a Top 5 start heading into the post-summer theatrical season.
We’ll be watching its second-weekend hold closely to see whether adult audiences give the film legs beyond its opening.
Insidious: Out Of The Further Rounds Out The Top Five
Insidious: Out of the Further slipped to fifth place with approximately $6.5 million from 2,897 theaters.
The latest installment in the long-running horror franchise has now earned approximately $54.1 million domestically.
After opening strongly in late August, the movie has continued to give horror audiences something to watch as the summer movie season winds down.
The Insidious franchise has never needed superhero-sized grosses to succeed, and Out of the Further continues to demonstrate why established horror franchises remain such reliable theatrical performers.
Spider-Man Could Make History Next
The biggest story coming out of this weekend is now impossible to ignore.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day sits at approximately $917.8 million domestically.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens finished with approximately $936.7 million.
That leaves roughly $19 million separating Spider-Man from the all-time domestic box office record.
After another $18 million weekend and six consecutive weekends at No. 1, breaking the record no longer feels like a long-shot scenario.
It feels like the next milestone.
And while Spider-Man chases history at the top, The Odyssey continues an extraordinary theatrical run of its own and Coyote vs. Acme keeps proving that audiences were right to demand the opportunity to see it.
Not a bad way to close out the summer movie season.
