Spider-Man Wins Fourth Box Office Weekend as Insidious Opens to $25.3M
Spider-Man: Brand New Day stayed No. 1 with $39 million while Insidious: Out of the Further opened to $25.3 million, giving Sony the weekend's top two films.

Sony owned the top of the North American box office this weekend.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day stayed at No. 1 for a fourth straight frame with $39 million, while Insidious: Out of the Further opened at No. 2 with $25.3 million. That gave Sony the top two films on the chart with two releases aimed at very different audiences. Deadline’s Sunday estimates match the final weekend picture reported across the major trades.
Spider-Man Is Now No. 3 All Time Domestically
Brand New Day has reached $854.9 million in North America, passing Spider-Man: No Way Home and moving into third place on the all-time domestic chart before inflation adjustment.
Only Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Endgame remain ahead of it. The gap to Endgame is now only a few million dollars, making second place the next immediate milestone.
Worldwide, the Tom Holland sequel has climbed to roughly $2.22 billion. TheWrap reports that the film is now on course to challenge the small group of releases that have reached $2.5 billion globally.
That run has moved quickly. Earlier this month, we tracked how Brand New Day reached $700 million domestically faster than any previous film.
Insidious Opens Below The Red Door, but on a Much Smaller Scale

Insidious: Out of the Further opened with $25.3 million domestically from 3,303 locations. That is below the $33 million opening of Insidious: The Red Door in 2023, but the comparison looks less alarming next to the new film’s reported $18 million production budget.
International markets added about $35 million, putting the worldwide opening at roughly $60.5 million. The film also earned a C+ CinemaScore, the same grade as The Red Door.
It is too early to call the movie profitable from opening-weekend grosses alone; theatrical revenue is split with exhibitors and marketing costs are separate from the production budget. What the opening does show is that the franchise is still generating a sizable audience without blockbuster-level spending.

The Odyssey Keeps Breaking Records
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey stayed strong in third place with $19.5 million in its sixth weekend, lifting its domestic total to $539 million.
That is enough to make it Nolan’s highest-grossing film ever in North America before inflation adjustment. Its worldwide total has also reached about $1.44 billion, after recently passing Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide. The Associated Press confirmed both the weekend hold and Nolan record.
PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie followed with $9.1 million, just ahead of The End of Oak Street at $9 million.
Jason Statham’s Mutiny opened in sixth with $7.5 million. The Lionsgate action film arrived only days after the full movie was accidentally made available on Prime Video before being removed. The leak is real; how much it actually cost the theatrical opening is much harder to prove, so it is safer not to treat the two as a direct cause-and-effect result.
The broader theatrical market remains healthy by 2026 standards. Year-to-date domestic grosses have now passed $7 billion, running about 20% ahead of the same point in 2025, according to AP’s weekend report.
