‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Still on Top at Box Office With $67 Million 3rd Weekend

"The End of Oak Street" leads newcomers with a sluggish $18 million. The post ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Still on Top at Box Office With $67 Million 3rd Weekend appeared first on TheWrap .

Sony/Marvel Studios' "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is on track to become the first $1 billion grosser in U.S. and Canada box office history, raking in $67 million in its third weekend and reaching an estimated $784 million total through Sunday. The film must maintain its strong legs without the summer season's current momentum to achieve this milestone.

Currently, "Spider-Man" is 5.6% ahead of the 17-day pace of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," which holds the current all-time domestic record with $742 million to date and a final gross of $936 million. Despite its ultimate domestic outcome, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" will join the ranks of eight films that have grossed $2 billion worldwide, with projections for it to surpass hits like "Ne Zha 2" and "Avatar: The Way of Water" and reach $2.5 billion in worldwide gross, making it the third film to achieve this feat.

"The Odyssey," Universal/Syncopy's latest, sits in second place, breaking the $500 million domestic barrier in its fifth weekend with $23 million, closing in on "Deadpool & Wolverine" and the all-time R-rated box office record. Christopher Nolan's most recent film, "The Odyssey," is on track to pass $1.5 billion worldwide, solidifying its position as the biggest box office hit of the Oscar-winning director's career.
