  "account": "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.",
  "summary": "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.”",
