Spider-Man: Brand New Day isn’t ready to give up the box office crown.
Sony and Marvel’s superhero blockbuster held onto first place for a fourth consecutive weekend, earning an estimated $39 million from 4,006 theaters in the U.S. and Canada. The latest Spider-Man adventure has now climbed to approximately $854.9 million domestically and sits on the verge of passing Avengers: Endgame to become the second-highest-grossing movie ever at the North American box office.
The weekend wasn’t without a challenge. Insidious: Out of the Further opened to a solid $25.3 million in second place, while Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey continued its historic theatrical run with another $19.5 million.
Further down the chart, PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie and The End of Oak Street essentially tied for fourth and fifth place, while Jason Statham’s new action thriller Mutiny opened at No. 6 with $7.5 million.
Here’s a closer look at the Top 6 movies at the weekend box office for August 21–23, 2026.
1. Spider-Man: Brand New Day — $39 Million
Peter Parker remains unbeatable.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day earned another $39 million during its fourth weekend, easily retaining the No. 1 position despite the arrival of several new wide releases.
The Tom Holland-led blockbuster has now earned approximately $854.9 million domestically, leaving it only a few million dollars away from passing Avengers: Endgame’s $858.3 million North American total.
Globally, the numbers are even more extraordinary. Brand New Day has climbed beyond $2.2 billion worldwide, putting it among the highest-grossing films ever released.
Four weekends in, this is no longer simply a huge Spider-Man movie. It’s one of the biggest theatrical runs in movie history.
2. Insidious: Out of the Further — $25.3 Million
The Insidious franchise still has plenty of life left in the Further.
Insidious: Out of the Further debuted with an estimated $25.3 million domestically from 3,303 theaters, giving Sony the top two movies of the weekend. The horror sequel added approximately $35 million internationally.
That’s a healthy opening for a franchise now six movies deep, particularly given the relatively economical nature of the Insidious films.
The new installment introduces a different family to the supernatural world of the Further, and its opening demonstrates that the franchise’s name remains enough to bring horror audiences into theaters.
It wasn’t enough to dethrone Spider-Man, but second place and $25.3 million is a solid start.
3. The Odyssey — $19.5 Million
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey just keeps sailing.
The epic earned another $19.5 million domestically this weekend, taking third place more than five weeks into its theatrical run.
More importantly, the Matt Damon-led film has now reached approximately $1.4 billion worldwide, becoming Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing movie ever both domestically and globally.
That milestone follows another piece of history earlier this week, when The Odyssey surpassed Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time worldwide.

4. PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie — $9.1 Million
Families gave PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie another strong weekend at the box office.
The animated adventure earned an estimated $9.1 million, good enough for fourth place.
The movie continues to provide a younger-skewing alternative to a marketplace currently dominated by superheroes, horror, adult action and Nolan’s R-rated epic.
That variety has become one of the defining characteristics of the late-summer box office, with films targeting very different audiences finding room to coexist.
5. The End of Oak Street — $9 Million
The End of Oak Street landed just behind PAW Patrol with an estimated $9 million weekend.
The result puts the film in fifth place, separated from fourth by only around $100,000 in Sunday’s estimates.
With final weekend numbers due Monday, that’s close enough that the order could potentially shift once actual ticket sales are reported.
Either way, both films managed to remain in the upper half of the chart despite new competition arriving this weekend.
6. Mutiny — $7.5 Million
Jason Statham returned to theaters this weekend with Mutiny, which opened in sixth place with an estimated $7.5 millionfrom 2,703 theaters.
The original action thriller gives Statham another hard-edged leading role, although its domestic opening is considerably smaller than some of the actor’s recent theatrical successes.
There’s an unusual wrinkle behind the numbers, too: Mutiny was accidentally made available early on digital platforms before its theatrical opening, something that may have affected its opening-weekend performance.
Still, Statham’s movies have traditionally generated significant business internationally, meaning the $7.5 million domestic debut is only the beginning of the film’s box office story.

2026 Box Office Passes $7 Billion
The individual movies aren’t the only good news for theaters.
The 2026 domestic box office has now surpassed $7 billion, approximately 20% ahead of the same point in 2025 and only around 7% behind 2019.
The summer season alone has generated roughly $4.4 billion in North American ticket sales, putting 2026 among the strongest summer moviegoing seasons on record.
And this weekend illustrates why.
A superhero blockbuster is still generating $39 million in its fourth weekend. A sixth installment in a horror franchise can open above $25 million. A three-hour R-rated Christopher Nolan epic is still pulling nearly $20 million after more than a month. Family animation, original films and a Jason Statham action movie are all finding audiences underneath them.
That’s a healthy theatrical marketplace heading toward the final weeks of summer.
