‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ makes it 6 weeks in a row at No. 1 as Hollywood wraps a banner summer

New York (AP) — The Sony superhero film "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" continued its streak as the top movie in theaters for the sixth consecutive week, marking the second time this decade a film has achieved such a long run at the top. Sony anticipates $23.3 million for the holiday weekend, while the movie has grossed $2.4 billion worldwide.

Universal Pictures' "The Odyssey" held the second position, adding $13 million domestically over the weekend, bringing its global total to $1.63 billion. Both films contributed to Hollywood's best summer since before the pandemic, with the domestic box office reaching $4.6 billion by August 31, a 26.1% increase from 2025, and just behind 2013's record summer.
