In its fourth outing, Spidey won again, and it wasn’t even particularly close. The Tom Holland-led superhero flick brought in another $39 million in the United States, besting Insidious: Out Of The Furhter —another Sony release—by nearly $14 million. The latest Insidious movie brought in $25.3 million in the States and another $35 million abroad. All in all, a very respectable haul for a film of an estimated $18 million budget.
In third place was another movie that opened a while ago. The Odyssey added another $19.5 million to its domestic haul. Last week, the Christopher Nolan-directed movie became the highest-grossing R-rated release ever , and clearly audiences are still lining up for a peek inside this beautiful horse statue that showed up just outside the gates of our fair city.
Other than Insidious , there wasn’t much good news to be found for the weekend’s other new releases. The next highest-grossing release was Mutiny , which opened to just $7.5 million. Worse still was Spa Weekend , which opened to slightly over $3 million, earning the lowest per-theater average of any film in the weekend’s top ten. Tony , meanwhile, expanded wide this weekend and brought in over $5 million. Take a look at the whole top ten below, courtesy of Box Office Mojo .
