Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued dominating the North American box office, drawing an additional $70 million in ticket sales on its third weekend on the big screen, according to industry estimates.
The superhero film fronted by Tom Holland and his real-life wife, Zendaya, has brought in more than $2 billion globally since its July 31 release, according to industry watcher Exhibitor Relations.
It is now Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, follows Peter Parker as he struggles with changes to his powers and lives in isolation after erasing his identity.
Spider-Man works to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend, MJ (Zendaya), and his best friend, Ned (Jacob Batalon), while fighting off a new force threatening New York City.
Trailing Spidey by some distance was Christopher Nolan’s epic The Odyssey, which brought in $23.2 million domestically for Universal in its fifth weekend on screen.
Warner Bros.’ sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street, starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as a couple battling to survive when their neighborhood is transported back to prehistoric times, brought in $21 million, earning it third place on its opening weekend.
In fourth, Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie hoovered up an estimated $20.5 million for Paramount on its debut weekend.
Katseye: Wild Hearts, which chronicles the pop girl group by the same name, came in fifth place, earning $3.6 million for Trafalgar Releasing on its opening weekend.
All in all, 2026 continues to be a boon for Hollywood.
Rounding out the top 10 were SIX The Musical Live! with $3 million, The Brink of War with $2.7 million, Toy Story 5 with $2.3 million, One Night Only with $2 million, and Your Name. 10th Anniversary with $1.6 million. — AFP
