The holiday weekend is just another day on top of the box office for Spider-Man

Only one new release landed in the top ten grossers during Labor Day weekend.

The holiday weekend is just another day on top of the box office for Spider-Man

Despite being a holiday weekend, the box office didn't show any significant difference from regular weekends. Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued to dominate, maintaining its number one spot for the sixth consecutive week. The superhero film grossed another $18.2 million, bringing its domestic total closer to the $1 billion mark.

However, it had already surpassed this milestone at the global box office. The top three of the weekend were Spider-Man: Brand New Day, followed by The Odyssey and Coyote Vs. Acme, with their positions switching from the previous weekend. The Odyssey contributed $13 million to its domestic earnings, while Coyote Vs. Acme made just under $12 million.

New release By Any Means, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Mark Wahlberg as KKK members, was the highest-grossing new release at $7.5 million, but it was the only film to enter the top ten this weekend. Pixar's Cars, celebrating its 20th anniversary earlier in the year, was the second new release, drawing $2 million. Other new releases, Fall 2: Deadpoint and Onslaught, failed to make it into the top ten, earning under $2.5 million each.
