Spider-Man: Brand New Day Delivers a Massive Opening

Posted on by
Spider-Man: Brand New Day

Do you hear that? That’s the sound of keyboard prognosticators figuring out how to justify saying there isn’t “superhero fatigue” at the box office after beating the drums about it for months. Spider-Man: Brand New Day delivered the second best worldwide opening ever and it’s already the fourth highest grossing film worldwide of 2026 after 1 weekend.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed $360.1 million domestically and $572 million at the international box office for a worldwide total of $932.1 million.

That’s the second highest domestic opening weekend behind Avengers: Endgame which opened with $357.1 million in 2019. Spider-Man: Brand New Day‘s opening weekend might be adjusted still and could put it closer to breaking the record. It also delivered the second highest global debut again behind Avengers: Endgame’s $1.22 billion.

The Odyssey slipped to second place, after being in first for its first two, with $51 million domestically to bring its domestic gross up to $395.5 million. Over the week, it grossed $162.6 million at the international box office which now stands at $515.9 million. Worldwide, the film has grossed $911.4 million in three weeks.

Toy Story 5 improved one spot moving up to third with $6.3 million domestically. It has grossed $461.7 million since its debut. Internationally, the movie added $30.7 million over the week and that total is now $604.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $1.066 billion and is the top grossing film of the year but that will likely end this week.

Minions & Monsters also improved one spot coming in fourth with $5.8 million. Domestically the movie has grossed $168.4 million. Internationally, the movie has grossed $24.7 million over the week and that total gross is $281.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has done $449.6 million.

Moana dropped from second place to fifth grossing $5.3 million, a 50.2% drop from the previous week. It has grossed $114.8 million at the domestic box office. Internationally, it grossed $20.6 million over the week and that total is $146.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $261.1 million. It’s hard to call the film anything but a flop for Disney.

In comic related movies…

Supergirl grossed around $450,000 domestically and is just under $72 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $800,000 over a week to bring that up to $53.8 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $125.8 million.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity has grossed $4.3 million domestically. Internationally, the movie has grossed $763,798 which makes a little over $5 million worldwide.

Moana leads the Weekend Box Office facing Choppy Waters

Posted on by
Moana

Moana wasn’t likely the opening hit Disney was looking for. The latest animated film turned live-action remake opened with $43 million domestically. That’s far below the projected $75 million the movie was believed it’d open with. Other projections had $45 million to $55 million which is also didn’t achieve. Internationally, the movie grossed $52 million delivering a worldwide debut of $95 million. The belief is the film’s live-action adaptation was too soon. While other films had 20-plus years since their animated debuts, the original Moana opened just a decade ago. Those who originally enjoyed it are likely teenagers now, and not the parents with their own families like other remakes. Add in poor reviews and it all comes together for a film many will likely wait to watch on streaming.

Minions & Monsters slipped to second place with $20.5 million domestically, a 44.6% drop from the previous week. The movie has grossed $108.3 million domestically after two weeks. Internationally, the movie added $73.4 million over the week to bring that to $171.8 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed a little over $280 million.

Toy Story 5 slipped to third place with $18.5 million to bring its domestic gross to $403.8 million. Internationally, it added $77.3 million over the week to bring that to $475.3 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $879.1 million giving it a good chance to cross the billion dollar mark before it’s time in theaters is over.

Evil Dead Burn opened in fourth place with $13.7 million domestically and $27 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $40.7 million.

Young Washington rounded out the top five with $6.4 million domestically where it has grossed $33.1 million. There’s no international gross.

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu grossed an estimated $257,000 over the weekend to bring its domestic gross to $177.4 million. Internationally, the movie gained about $10.9 million to bring that to $163.1 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $340.5 million after five weeks. The film will wind up slightly short of Solo: A Star Wars Story was when it ended its run.

Minions & Monsters takes the Weekend Box Office as Supergirl sees a Sharp Drop

Posted on by
Minions & Monsters

Minions & Monsters was the top of the weekend box office, grossing $36.4 million domestically. The film opened earlier in the week and so far has grossed an estimated $61.4 million in its first half week. Internationally, the movie has grossed $98.4 million for a worldwide total of $159.9 million.

Minions debuted in 2015, spinning out of Despicable Me, and opened with $115.7 million domestically and went on to gross $1.159 billion. Minions: The Rise of Gru was released in 2022 with a $107 million domestic opening and grossing $940.4 million worldwide.

This film’s opening is a sharp drop from both of those and there could be multiple factors to the poor opening. The holiday weekend was the 250th birthday of the US making it an extra special July 4th that might have had families more focused on the holiday, it could be economic issues, or it could be the property having just lost interest. It could also be a combo of all of that.

Toy Story 5 dropped to second place with $31 million lifting its domestic gross to $366.3 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $110.2 million over the week to bring that total to $398 million. Worldwide, the gross is $764.3 million.

Young Washington debuted with $20.8 million domestically and no international return.

Supergirl dropped to fourth place from second the previous week. It grossed an estimated $9.6 million which was a 74.1% drop from the previous week. Blockbusters tend to have large drops but they tend to be 60% to 65% with 70% being the higher end of things, so 74.1% is extreme for this type of film. Domestically, the movie has grossed $58.5 million. Internationally, the movie grossed $12 million over a week to bring that up to $42 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $100.5 million after two weeks.

Disclosure Day remained in fifth place with $6 million to bring its domestic gross to $105.3 million. Over the week, it grossed $10.9 million internationally which is now $111.2 million. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $216.6 million.
