“Spider-Man” Beats Out “Insidious” At Box-Office

Sony Pictures

Sony and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” retained the box-office crown this weekend in its fourth round, taking in $39 million domestically and a further $70 million overseas for a $109 million worldwide fourth weekend.

That pushes it up to a gross of $854.9 million domestically and will almost certainly overtake “Avengers: Endgame” ($858.3 million) on Monday to become the second highest-grossing movie ever at the domestic box-office.

Worldwide, the film currently stands at $2.22 billion, making it the sixth-highest-grossing movie of all time behind only the two “Avatar” films, “Endgame, “Ne Zha 2,” and “Titanic”.

“Insidious: Out of the Further” made its debut with $25.3 million domestically and a further $35 million overseas for a $60.3 million worldwide opening weekend – stronger than predicted and fairly close to the prior entry ‘The Red Door’ which debuted to $64 million worldwide.

Chris Nolan’s “The Odyssey” keeps sailing on, the film snagging $19.5 million domestically and $68 million overseas for a $87.5 million worldwide sixth weekend. It’s Nolan’s highest-grossing movie ever, both domestically at $539 million and overseas at $1.44 billion.

Last week’s “The End of Oak Street” ain’t faring great in its second outing, taking in just $9 million domestically (a 57% drop) and $11.2 million overseas, with a total now at $86 million. Also in its second weekend is “Paw Patrol: Dino Movie,” which fell 55% to $9.1 million domestically and $11.5 million overseas, with a worldwide cume of $103.4 million.

The Jason Statham-led “Mutiny” opened to $7.5 million domestically, which is above some other Statham openers, including “Shelter” earlier this year. Though it did leak for a few hours on Prime Video, the film’s numbers are coming in line with expectations, so it appears to have had little impact.

Also opening this week was the comedy “Spa Weekend,” which drowned, debuting in ninth place with just $3.05 million. Faring far better was “Tony,” the Anthony Bourdain biopic scoring $5 million as it went wide and is pulling in strong reviews.

The re-release of the original “The Fast and the Furious” in cinemas stirred little excitement, the title snagging $3.1 million and an eighth-place ranking. Overall the U.S. domestic box-office has sailed past $7 billion for the year so far, up 20% on last year and just 7% behind the best year ever (2019).
