Spider-Man: Brand New Day tops box office for fourth weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues its reign at the North American box office, holding the top spot for a fourth consecutive weekend. The superhero film, starring Tom Holland and Zendaya, brought in $39 million, though this represents a 45 percent drop from the previous week.

Since its July 31 release, the Marvel blockbuster has amassed $854.9 million in the United States and Canada. Internationally, it has earned an additional $1.37 billion, according to industry tracker Exhibitor Relations.

Sony Pictures also saw success with Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth installment in the horror franchise, which debuted in second place with $25.3 million. Industry analyst David Gross noted that while the opening is solid for a horror sequel, the performance is a substantial drop from its predecessor.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey slipped to third place, earning $19.5 million in its sixth weekend, bringing its domestic total to $539.1 million. Paramount Pictures' Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie and Warner Bros.' sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street rounded out the top five.

This is a solid opening for the 6th episode of a horror series. The drop from number five’s opening in July 2023 is substantial but typical of these sequels.
