  "account": "\"Spider-Man: Brand New Day\" maintained its position at the top of the box office for the fourth consecutive weekend, despite facing competition from various new releases. This includes a comedy, a horror franchise, a Jason Statham action movie, and a family-friendly film.\n\nIn its fourth weekend in theaters, \"The Odyssey\" also achieved a significant milestone by becoming Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing movie, both domestically and internationally. The film added $19.5 million in its sixth weekend in North American theaters, contributing to its total earnings of nearly $539.1 million domestically.\n\nAs the year progresses, \"The Odyssey\" is trailing behind \"Spider-Man,\" which has already made over $854.9 million in North America. If \"Spider-Man\" continues its strong performance, it could soon surpass \"Avengers: Endgame\" to become the second-highest grossing domestic release of all time. The record holder currently stands at \"Star Wars: The Force Awakens\" with $936.7 million in North America.\n\nAdditionally, Sony's \"Insidious: Out of the Further\" secured the second-biggest movie of the weekend, earning $25.3 million from 3,303 theaters. Its $18 million production budget makes it the most expensive film in the series.\n\nThe sixth movie in the \"Insidious\" franchise also made $35 million internationally. Internationally, \"The Odyssey\" achieved $68 million, largely driven by China and Korea, bringing its worldwide total to $1.4 billion.",
