  "account": "Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued its box office dominance in its fourth weekend, grossing $39 million in the United States alone. This marked a significant margin over the second-place film, Insidious: Out Of The Further, which brought in $25.3 million domestically. The latest Insidious movie managed to earn $35 million internationally, further solidifying the superhero film's position. Overall, Spider-Man: Brand New Day boasted a respectable haul with an estimated budget of $18 million. In third place was The Odyssey, which added $19.5 million to its domestic earnings. The film had gained attention for its impressive performance, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated release ever last week. Other new releases, such as Mutiny and Spa Weekend, struggled to compete, with the latter earning the lowest per-theater average among the top ten films. Tony, an existing release that expanded nationwide, managed a modest $5 million opening weekend. The complete top ten list can be found on Box Office Mojo.",
