Spider-Man: Brand New Day Continues to Hold the Top Spot at the Weekend Box Office
Five weeks in a row, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has been the top grossing film at the domestic box office. The movie added an estimated $22.5 million to its domestic total to bring that to $884.8 million after five weeks. Internationally, it added $76 million to its total over the week and that gross is now $1.441 billion. Worldwide, the movie has grossed $2.333 billion. The movie is the top grossing film of the year domestically and worldwide and currently ranks second domestically all time and fourth worldwide all time. It’ll easily move into third place (likely today) for the worldwide record. While it’s unlikely the movie will be the top grossing film worldwide when its run is over, there’s still a chance it becomes the first film ever to gross $1 billion domestically before its run is over.
Coyote vs. Acme second in third place with $15.9 million over the weekend for a bit mix of a debut. The film has had an interesting history, originally shelved by Warner Bros. for a tax write off. Ketchup Entertainment picked it up for a reported $50 million. Now, here’s the mixed part. It’s the best opening for a Ketchup Entertainment film, that’s good. It’s also a massive improvement on 2024’s Looney Tunes’ The Day the Earth Blew Up which opened with $3.2 million domestically and grossed $15.5 million its entire run. It was also a Ketchup film. But, films need to make money, so using the formula of 2x budget to figure out profitability, and with the reported $10 million marketing spent on top of what was paid to Warner Bros., Coyote vs. Acme is far short of achieving that. Warner Bros. had a $70 million budget for the film and got a $30 million tax write-off. So, as it’s looking the decision to shelve the film might have been the right decision no matter how well it’s been received (and it is getting praised by critics and average attendees). As is, it’s hard to see Ketchup making back their investment in the theater, let alone making a profit. While we hate to see quality films get shelved, movies are a business and it looks like they knew what they were doing.
The Odyssey remained in third place. It added $14.4 million to its domestic total which is now $563.8 million. Over the week, it grossed $81. 6 million internationally and that total stands at $988.8 million. The movie is likely to cross the billion dollar mark internationally at some point this week.
The Dog Stars opened in fourth place with $8 million domestically and $11.3 million internationally for a worldwide debut of $19.3 million. With a budget somewhere between $70 and $110 million, it’s hard to not see this as another flop for Walt Disney this year.
Rounding out the top five was Insidious: Out of the Further which debuted in second place the previous weekend. The movie grossed $7.3 million to bring its domestic total to $40.8 million. Internationally, it grossed $31.6 million over the week and now has grossed $66.6 million for $110.2 million worldwide. With a reported budget of $18 million, it’s another successfully release for the franchise which will sure to see more releases.
