So far, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has earned a total of US$891.5 million in the U.S. and Canada, along with an additional US$1.44 billion internationally. In second place was Coyote vs ACME, a Warner Bros. animation-live action hybrid featuring John Cena, Will Forte, and Lana Condor. The third Looney Tunes film has made US$15.5 million in the U.S. and Canada. The Odyssey, based on Homer's ancient poem, held third with US$14.3 million in its seventh week, bringing its domestic total to US$564 million and nearly US$1 billion in international sales.

The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic drama directed by Ridley Scott, entered at fifth with US$5.6 million.
