‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Insidious 6’ Give Sony Top Two Spots at Box Office

Sony Pictures has had a successful August at the box office, with Marvel's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" leading the pack and Sony's "Insidious: Out of the Further" rounding out the top two. Sony's "Insidious: Out of the Further" opened with a $10.6 million weekend haul from 3,303 locations, on track for a $23 million opening weekend.

This marks the fifth time in six films that the "Insidious" series has opened above $20 million, despite being a $18 million budgeted co-production between Screen Gems, Stage 6, and Blumhouse-Atomic Monster. The movie's reception has been mixed-to-positive, holding 60% critic and 70% audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes, and receiving a C+ CinemaScore, same as the previous installment, "The Red Door."

Meanwhile, "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is expected to earn $36.5 million in its fourth weekend, surpassing $850 million domestically and edging past "Spider-Man: No Way Home's" domestic total of $814.8 million. Globally, the film will become the third to pass the $2.5 billion mark before inflation adjustments. However, Warner Bros./Bad Robot's "The End of Oak Street" and Paramount/Spin Master's "Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie" are both experiencing a significant drop in their second weekends, with the former falling over 60% to around $8 million and the latter underperforming at an estimated $34 million domestic 10-day total.
