Spider-Man continues his dominance at the box office, a run that at this point has lasted almost the entire month of August.
And now, with summer winding down, the question becomes: How much longer can this Marvel hero continue to grab the No. 1 spot each weekend?
Because he did it again.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is heading toward an estimated $22 million for the weekend, giving the film its fifth consecutive weekend at No. 1 and pushing its domestic total to around $891 million. That puts $900 million within striking distance and continues to showcase Spider-Man as possibly the strongest movie story of the entire year.
Five weeks in, people are STILL going to see this movie.
Coyote vs. Acme finally arrived in theaters this weekend after its bizarre journey from being essentially shelved and nearly disappearing altogether to actually getting a theatrical release. And audiences apparently wanted to see it.
The live-action/animated family film is looking at roughly a $13–14 million opening weekend, putting it into a battle with Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, now in its seventh weekend, for second place.
And perhaps even more interesting: people seem to really like Coyote vs. Acme.
The movie currently sits at 95% with critics and 94% with verified audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, which could give this one some legs beyond opening weekend. For a movie that at one point looked like it might never even be released, that’s a pretty remarkable turnaround.
But once again, the weekend belongs to Spider-Man.
Five weekends.
Five victories.
Nearly $900 million domestically.
Summer is almost over, but apparently Spider-Man isn’t ready to give up the box office just yet.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day is on the verge of knocking Titanic out of the all-time global box-office top five!!
Over the weekend, Brand New Day racked up another $39 million domestically (and $109 million globally) bringing its totals to $854.9 million domestic ($2.22 billion globally).
That puts Brand New Day just $44 million shy of overtaking James Cameron’s Oscar-winning 1997 hit, something Brand New Day should easily manage in a week or so..
“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has amassed a heroic $1.67 billion after just 12 days in theaters, including $1.01 billion internationally and $655 million domestically. It’s the second-fastest movie to reach the billion-dollar mark overseas, behind only 2019’s comic book behemoth “Avengers: Endgame.”
Among its numerous milestones, “Brand New Day” has already become the biggest movie of the year as well as the 12th-highest-grossing release of all time. It’s a testament to the enduring popularity of Peter Parker, as well as the pent-up demand for Tom Holland’s fourth solo adventure as Marvel’s web-slinging hero.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially swung into theaters and absolutely rocked the box office in all the right ways. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, the latest chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker alongside Zendaya, with Sadie Sink making her Marvel debut as Jean Grey.
The movie is amazing .. the money rolling in is deserved..
You can feel it and see it in the crowds. People of every age and every background are heading to theaters together, and they’re leaving with smiles on their faces. That’s something very few movies accomplish anymore. Most movie audiences feel fragmented, but Spider-Man manages to unite audiences in genuine excitement and joy.
We all need a hero..
The acting is superb, the action sequences are thrilling for a big screen, and the storyline never loses sight of the human element that has always made Spider-Man so relatable. Tom Holland once again proves why he has become the defining Spider-Man of his generation, while Zendaya helps rekindle Peter and MJ’s unforgettable romance but yet somehow forgettable romance (You’d have to see the movie..)
Sadie Sink’s as Jean Grey was handled perfectly, leading to several scenes that were surprisingly emotional.
After seeing Sadie wield incredible powers on the big screen, some couldn’t help but think she almost feels like the version of Eleven we never got on Stranger Things!
One of the movie’s greatest strengths is that you don’t necessarily have to be a Marvel encyclopedia to enjoy it. Casual moviegoers can simply sit back and experience a fantastic superhero adventure, while longtime Marvel fans will have a blast catching the countless Easter eggs and connections sprinkled throughout the film.
If there’s been one recurring criticism, even with its outstanding 98% Rotten Tomatoes score, it’s that the movie is darker and more serious than previous Spider-Man films. BUT OF COURSE IT IS!
The stakes have grown. Peter Parker’s existence is becoming more of a burden than a blessing, and watching him wrestle with anger, loss, responsibility, and maturity makes for a far more compelling hero than simply watching him crack jokes in every scene.
We’re not quite ready to call it the movie of the year just yet, but it may very well be the movie of the summer.
Will it receive Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, or Best Actress? Certainly not. And that’s precisely why so many people have grown frustrated with the Academy Awards or accolades of that nature.. A movie that millions of people genuinely love, one that fills theaters and creates shared memories, will likely be ignored while smaller films seen by only a fraction of the audience receive the industry’s highest honors. But that is besides the point of this opening weekend..
So here’s to Tom Holland and everyone involved in making what may very well be the best Spider-Man movie yet. More than anything, thank you for giving audiences a couple of hours to escape reality and reminding us what going to the movies is supposed to feel like.
Rarely does a movie come around with nearly 100% scores for both critics and audiences on rotten tomatoes.com but we have our film doing that. The Odyssey is being already called the potential movie of the year and all eyes will now be on how much money it makes.
Critics are already calling it the best film of 2026…
It is directed by Christopher Nolan, and based on Homer’s epic poem, starring Matt Damon as Odysseus and Anne Hathaway as Penelope, with an ensemble cast including Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, and Zendaya. It’s a mythic action epic shot entirely on IMAX film..
It’s also meant to be seen on an IMAX screen this weekend…
The live action MOANA movie this week is getting really awful reviews.. Some of the worst of the year, even.. even worse than Masters of the Universe and Supergirl.. But with those movies, at least we saw some real people–not just the paid pros–liking it.
This time ROTTEN TOMATOES is simply *at this is written* showing off the critic score but has yet to publish a rating when compiling the audience score..

Here we are… almost half the weekend into the debut of the live action film, and we have yet to get a compiled score of the audience reviews..
Meanwhile EVIL DEAD seems to be doing strong among audiences..
While insiders are reporting that the film is gaining an A- score among the under 18 crowd, the movie is not expected to impact theaters very well financially..
The movie has already become one of the highest grossing horror films of all time .. and now an extra cut is is going to be re-released this week making the film even more potentially popular amongst hardcore fans..
The studio is giving its breakout horror hit an extended theatrical re-release, dubbed the “Everything Must Go Edition,” arriving Friday, July 3, with 15 minutes of bonus footage and a new runtime of two hours and six minutes…
Welcome to the world of expansion pack rereleases..
Every week we fall victim to the same thing that everyone else does. The race at the box office, the summer season and comparing how much money a movie is making. But yet forgetting if a movie’s good or not.
A lot of people who have seen Supergirl don’t like it, a lot of critics lambasted it but some fans on rotten tomatoes are giving it some decent ratings. That being said the movie is going to finish probably under $40 million dollars for opening weekend, and that’s most likely going to be factored as a failure for the film.
In the weeks leading up to this moment, there have been a lot of predictions which continue to downgrade expectations lower each time, and now that the film has been released the real numbers are coming in and it’s not pretty.
But as a fan of Masters of the Universe, it’s not easy living through a box office moment like this.. some true fans will defend the movie till the end while others will probably be realistic in how good it really is. As for the rest of the box office toy story is ruling the day, the film will maintain its number one status and number three will be the return of the Jackass movie.. they’re all a little bit older and they’re relying on nostalgia from 20 years back to prop them up just one more time.
Notable that back rooms and obsession are lingering with still decent money..
We don’t know if they’ll be a Masters of the Universe part 2 but we sure don’t think there will be a second Supergirl…
Get ready for the onslaught of Supergirl reviews and they are not pretty.
None of them, this movie seems doomed. There’s a few things that are attempting to save it including a theme of a dog being in danger, something that always seems to get the viewers revved up.
However this go around it appears that the movie is so bad, the script is written so poorly, and apparently the lighting of the film is so harsh on the eyes, that there will be nothing redeeming about this film. It’s expected to be the next summer flop and the studio is already trying to think of a way to defend itself. Here’s one of the best reviews of the worst movie of the summer so far:
It’s probably a wrap, theaters are most likely going to stop showing the Masters of the Universe film. At this point, a lot of criticism has been out there from people land-basing the box office showing but, fans responded in kind by attending the film repeatedly over the span of the few weeks has been out.
It didn’t break records as a matter of fact it’s probably lost money but Amazon is playing the long game, and there are still rumors persistent that a sequel involving additional Mattel characters will be coming in the future. Perhaps direct to streaming but fans won’t care.
The challenging thing and sort of unfortunate thing is that this newest incarnation did not reach a new cross-section of fans despite an advertising campaign all over social media. We just never meant to be and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe appears to be a relic stuck in time that only people of a certain generation are responding to..
