Tom Holland and Zendaya's box-office win-win: Spider-Man stays No. 1, The Odyssey sails past $1.4 billion

Four weekends in, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day still isn't budging from the top of the box office charts, not for a comedy, not for a horror sequel, not even for Jason Statham throwing punches. The web-slinger shrugged off a crowded slate of newcomers to hold onto first place, pulling in another $39 million from just over 4,000 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, according to Associated Press.…

Tom Holland and Zendaya's box-office win-win: Spider-Man stays No. 1, The Odyssey sails past $1.4 billion

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has maintained its No. 1 position at the box office for four weekends, defying competition from various films across genres. The superhero movie earned an additional $39 million from over 4,000 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, bringing its domestic gross to over $854.9 million. This performance is expected to propel the film past Avengers: Endgame on the all-time domestic chart, following Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

In India, The Odyssey has also made significant strides, becoming the highest-grossing Hollywood movie there, surpassing Avatar. Christopher Nolan's film has now become his highest-grossing, both domestically and internationally, and has surpassed The Dark Knight as his biggest box office success. Sony's horror sequel, Insidious: Out of the Further, claimed second place domestically, earning $25.3 million, while its international earnings reached $35 million.

Jason Statham's thriller, Mutiny, debuted at No. 6 with $7.5 million, despite a glitch that allowed the film to appear for free on Prime Video before its release. The Hangover's sequel and Bad Moms also opened, but received mixed reviews. Meanwhile, Andrew Garfield's The Magic Faraway Tree and Anthony Bourdain drama Tony maintained their positions in the top 10, earning $1.4 million and $5 million respectively.
