As of the week of August 12, 2026, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is poised to maintain its reign at the North American box office for a third consecutive weekend. The film is expected to earn an additional $65 million to $70 million, despite the release of five new nationwide films. Its current domestic total stands at $671 million, with a global gross of $1.68 billion, establishing it as the highest-grossing movie of the year.
The superhero sequel is rapidly approaching the $2 billion worldwide mark, a milestone achieved by only seven films in history, including "Avatar" and "Avengers: Endgame." This achievement would make it the first film since "Avatar: The Way of Water" in 2022 to reach this global benchmark. Meanwhile, the sci-fi survival thriller "The End of Oak Street," starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, is targeting a debut of $20 million to $30 million, while "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" aims for $20 million.

"The Odyssey," another major film, is expected to add $17 million to $20 million in its fifth weekend, contributing to a summer box office that has surpassed $4 billion, marking the biggest popcorn season since 2019.
