Summary "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is set for a massive second weekend, building on its historic opening. The film, starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Sadie Sink, shattered domestic records with a $360 million debut, surpassing "Avengers: Endgame." It quickly crossed $1 billion worldwide by Tuesday and became the first film to hit $500 million domestically in its first week. With current worldwide earnings at $1.216 billion, projections suggest another $143 million domestically this weekend, pushing its domestic total to $653 million. Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" continues strong at number two, having also crossed $1 billion globally. Meanwhile, new releases like "One Night Only" and "Super Troopers 3" are seeing quieter box office debuts.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day , starring Tom Holland, Zendaya and Sadie Sink, is projected to have a massive second weekend haul at the domestic box office.
Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, Spider-Man: Brand New Day made history in its opening weekend July 31-Aug. 2 with a stunning $360 million in ticket sales from 4,487 North American theaters. The tally eclipsed the previous record domestic opening that belonged to Avengers: Endgame , which earned $357.7 million from 4,662 venues from April 26-29, 2019.
As amazing as Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s opening weekend was for the Sony Pictures Entertainment release, it marked merely the beginning of what is already deemed a historic run.
Going into this weekend, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned $510 million domestically and $706.3 million internationally for a running worldwide box office tally of $1.216 billion — and judging by second weekend projections by Sony, is poised to make a whole lot more.
On Saturday morning, Sony projected that Spider-Man: Brand New Day will make $143 million this weekend domestically, a tally that will now include ticket sales from IMAX venues. While Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened on premium large format screens, Christopher Nolan’s blockbuster adaptation of Homer’s The Odyssey had an exclusive three-week engagement on IMAX screens.
Should Sony’s projection hold, it will boost Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s domestic take to more than $653 million by Sunday.
Universal Pictures’ The Odyssey is projected by Deadline to finish at No. 2 for a second consecutive week with an estimated $28.5 million, which, should the number hold, will boost the film’s running take to $458.1 million. The Odyssey crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide on Thursday.
While Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey continue to pack a massive one-two punch at the box office, the traffic is considerably quieter for this weekend’s new releases.
Universal’s romantic comedy One Night Only , starring Monica Barbaro and Callum Turner , is projected by Deadline to make $6 million from 3,012 North American venues. The trade projects Toy Story 5 will earn $4.3 million from 2,660 domestic locations for a No. 4 finish —the film’s domestic take to $470.8 million — and forecasts a $4 million opening for Super Troopers 3 for the No. 5 slot.
A Searchlight Pictures release, Super Troopers 3 is opening at 2,760 North American theaters.
Also opening this weekend is director Eli Roth’s unrated horror thriller Ice Cream Man , which Deadline projects will make $2 million in its opening frame. Produced by Roth’s independent label The Horror Section, Ice Cream Man is being distributed by Iconic Releasing and playing at 1,700 domestic locations.
Note: This box office report will be updated throughout the weekend as new numbers become available. The final numbers for this weekend’s box office will be released on Monday.
