Box Office: ‘Spider-Man’ stays on top while two dino movies battle for third
Two very different dinosaur movies devoured a modest chunk of the North American box office this weekend, although neither came close to unseating “Spider-Man” from its perch atop the charts, nor managed to steal second place from “The Odyssey.”
Two very different dinosaur movies, "Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie" and "The End of Oak Street," battled for third place in the North American box office this weekend. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" continued to dominate the charts, staying atop with $70 million in domestic ticket sales. The Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor film had a slight edge over the animated movie, with a projected $21 million compared to $20.5 million.
Neither "Paw Patrol" nor "The End of Oak Street" managed to reach second place, as "The Odyssey" maintained its stronghold in second with $23.2 million in its fifth weekend. Christopher Nolan's epic has now made over $1.2 billion globally, making it the second-fastest movie to achieve this landmark. "The End of Oak Street" opened with $21 million domestically and $26 million internationally, despite a lower audience score.
The Paw Patrol movie drew in family audiences with an A CinemaScore. "Katseye: Wild Hearts," a documentary, rounded out the top five with $4 million from 724 screens. The summer box office continues to be strong, accounting for over $4.2 billion in ticket sales, just about $130 million shy of the 2013 record.
