What to Watch For
Whether the film will surpass the $814.9 million domestic haul from the previous “Spider-Man” film in 2021, after having already topped the film’s global gross of $1.9 billion. It’s unclear how much more success “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” will have, but this weekend’s sales after last weekend’s $145 million domestic gross could indicate continued success. No movie has ever grossed more than $1 billion at the domestic box office alone.

What Else Was In Theaters?
The other two big hits of the weekend shared a common theme: dinosaurs. “The End of Oak Street,” a new sci-fi thriller produced by former “Star Wars” director J.J. Abrams and starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor had a solid debut considering the still-stiff competition from “Spider-Man” and “The Odyssey.” The dinosaur thriller posted $21 million for third place at North American theaters, according to early estimates. “Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie” came in fourth place, posting an estimated $20.5 million for its own debut. That’s just behind the debut for the top film in from the beloved children’s franchise, “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie,” which grossed $22.7 million when it opened in 2023.
