‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Becomes Second-Fastest To Cross $2B WW – Global Top 10 Box Office Update

Monday Update: Holy cow! Or whatever kind of Holy is yelled out in a comic book, but Sony/Marvel Studio’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day crossed the $2 billion global mark, becoming the second-fastest movie to do so and the eighth movie to ever cross that benchmark.

Brand New Day pulls off this feat in 17 days while Avengers: Endgame crossed $2B in 11 days.

Updated today, Brand New Day counts $786.5M domestic, the fourth highest ever in U.S./Canada, and a running cume of $1.238B abroad for a current worldwide tally of $2.024B.

Third global weekend for the Destin Daniel Cretton-directed, Tom Holland and Zendaya-starring pic is $189.7M. Stateside, the pic posted the second-best third weekend at the domestic B.O. at $71M after Force Awakens‘ third weekend of $90.2M.

Abroad in 67 markets, Brand New Day made $118.7M this weekend on 53,700 screens. China led the frame with $10M taking its cume to $210M followed by France at $9.1M (-39%) for a cume of $63.7M.

Other top markets this weekend: the United Kingdom ($8.2M weekend, -49%, $106.0M cume), Brazil ($7.5M, -47%, $59.5M), Mexico ($7.3M, $78.0M),Australia ($6.6M, -45%, $48.8M), South Korea ($6.4M, -41%, $53.2M), Germany ($6.4M, -42%, $48.8M), Japan ($3.4M, -15%, $27.0M), India ($3.2M, $59.6M), Spain ($2.8M, -44%, $35.2M), and Italy ($2.2M, $36.4M). 

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is now Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing release ever in 36 international markets, including Argentina, Colombia, Egypt, Hungary, India, Italy, Malaysia, Peru, the Philippines, Poland, Spain, Thailand, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and Vietnam. 

Even Eumaeus could see that The Odyssey would be No. 2 again at the global box office, the Christopher Nolan pic now in its fifth frame with $123.4M WW weekend ($23.6M domestic, $99.8M overseas in 83 territories) and a running global tally of $1.294B ($505M domestic, $789.3M overseas).

Odysseus docked in China this weekend with a great start of $36.3M (including $7.6M previews), and Imax driving close to 80% of tickets sales from 40% of all showtimes there. Odyssey ranked second in the market after local pic Once Upon a time in the Middle East from filmmaker Muye Wen which cleared $66.7M for the weekend with a running total of $130.3M (overall, third one the global weekend chart behind Spider-Man and Odyssey).

The 3-day take of $28.9M for Odyssey in China is on par with Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer and more than double Dark Knight Rises‘ start. The Odyssey‘s $13M Imax take in China ($19M cume) is the highest grossing for a Nolan pic in the large format in the Middle Kingdom. The Odyssey achieved an outstanding 9.7 Maoyan rating, both the highest result for an MPA title this year and the joint highest result for an MPA movie ever. 

Overall, The Odyssey banked $37M worldwide in Imax this weekend with running global cume for exhibitor at $346.4M ($163.4M domestic, $183M overseas cume), its highest grossing title ever.

Korea added $16.9M in weekend 2 for a No. 1 rank taking Odyssey‘s cume to $35.2M surpassing the lifetimes of Nolan’s Inception, Oppenheimer, Dunkirk and Dark Knight Rises. It’s the second-highest grossing Nolan movie currently in the market behind, get this, Interstellar.

The UK & Ireland’s fifth session was $5.1M to reach a cume through Sunday of $92.6M. As we told you, it’s already Nolan’s highest ever in his native land and the highest-grossing title ever in Imax UK-side. Odyssey ranked No. 2 behind Brand New Day. Japan is the next big territory for Odyssey on Sept. 11.

In France, The Odyssey saw a $5M fifth weekend to reach a cume through Sunday of $69.3M, It’s already Nolan’s highest grossing there. Pic was No. 2 behind Brand New Day.

Germany’s fifth frame was $4M, -22% for a running cume of $45.8M. Italy took in $2.6M in its fifth weekend for a running total of $55.6M, reclaiming the No. 1 spot in the market ahead of Brand New Day‘s weekend 3.  The Odyssey is already the biggest Nolan film of all-time in Italia.

Australia saw a fifth sesh of $2.6M, -30%, and a cume of $37M. Mexico had a great hold as well, -32%, with a fifth weekend of $2.1M and a running total of $33.8M. Spain also held well in weekend 5 with $1.9M, -25%, and a cume of $34M.

Warner Bros/Bad Robot’s The End of Oak Street with a $47M WW start ($21M domestic, $26M or 3.5M admissions overseas in 74 markets) isn’t the strongest for starry creature feature which cost between $80M-$92M (before global P&A), but it’s where the studio was spotting it, and NRG too. A $21M start in U.S./Canada is alright for an Anne Hathaway movie, above the $17.7M domestic opening of her dramedy with Robert De Niro ($17.7M) (we’re not counting Odyssey which was a massive ensemble or Dark Knight Rises). We will see where the legs go here. Very cool concept of dinosaurs in a neighborhood, who chase a family. You’d think they’d chase more into cinemas for this original take on dinosaur sub-genre.

In Europe, The End of Oak Street debuted to $12.8M with top territories being UK/Ireland ($2.9M), France ($2.3M), Spain ($1.2M), Germany ($928K) and Italy ($712K).

Asia did $8.4M for the region with Japan at $1.9M, China at $1.4M way behind Odyssey and Brand New Day and Taiwan at $775K.

Latin America made $4.8M with $2.7M from Mexico, and $648K from Brazil.

Territories yet to release are Azerbaijan (Aug 20), CIS (Aug. 20), Kazakhstan (Aug 20), Korea(Aug 20), Cyprus (Aug 27) and Greece (Aug 27).

Paramount and Spin Master’s Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie had its second overseas frame, first domestic with $35.75M WW ($20.25M, 2nd best in franchise domestic start and $15.5M overseas) and a running cume of $68.75M global (of that $48.5M int’l).

Previous pic in reported, 2023’s Paw Patrol: The Mighty did excellent abroad, yielding 68% of the final reported global of $205M or $139.7M to domestic’s $65.3M.

Disney’s Toy Story 5 in its 9th global weekend saw $9.5M WW ($2.4M domestic, $7.1M overseas from 52 markets) for a running global tally of $1.11 billion ($475.5M domestic cume, $639.3M int’l). Toy Story 5 is the highest grossing Pixar release of all-time in Japan ($72.4M) as well as Egypt, S. Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar. At $1.11B, TS5 is the 8th highest MPA animated title of all-time and the third highest grossing film year-to-date after Brand New Day and The Odyssey and ahead of Michael ($1.016B) and Super Mario Galaxy Movie ($1.012B).
