Sony had the luxury of having the two most popular films at the box office. Spider-Man: Brand New Day topped the box office on its fourth weekend, but Insidious: Out of the Further showed there was a lot of life left in this franchise. Meanwhile, Mutiny failed to break out beyond Jason Statham's core demographic, while A24's Tony got off to a very strong start in wide release.
The Top 10 earned a combined $122.4 million this weekend. That's up a massive 78.4%, when KPop Demon Hunters managed to hit #1.
Staying at #1 for the fourth weekend in a row, Spider-Man: Brand New Day added $39 million, which was 45% off from last week. That's the eighth highest fourth weekend of all time (it's actually seventh because American Sniper hit wide release on its fourth weekend).
The film has now hit $854.9 million domestically, as it passes No Way Home ($814.8 million) to become the third highest-grossing film of all time, and Sony's biggest ever release. Last week, it was ahead of The Force Awakens by $44.3 million, and now it dropped to $42.1 million. Given these holds, it really looks like it will overtake that film ($936.6 million) to become the biggest domestic release of all time.
In second place, Sony's Insidious: Out of the Further opened with a pretty good $25.1 million in 3,303 theaters. That's not far off from the prior films, and it avoided the low debuts of the first Insidious ($13.2 million) and Chapter 3 ($22.6 million). In fact, it actually beat Spidey on Friday ($10.67 million vs. $9.88 million) even if it lost the weekend.
With a severe lack of horror competition in theaters (last big one was Evil Dead Burn last month and that wasn't even big), Out of the Further benefitted from an open field. It had the profitable IP status, and the premise was interesting: a young woman who can interact with and bring spirits to the mortal world. Even with mediocre reviews (58% on RT), everyone knew what they were getting into in the sixth Insidious installment.
According to Sony, 57% of the audience was female, and 59% was 25 and over. They gave it a weak "C+" on CinemaScore, tying The Red Door as the worst grade. These films are known for dropping quickly, and there's nothing suggesting this will be any different. Look for Insidious: Out of the Further to close with around $60 million domestically. Given its low $18 million budget, it's already a big success considering the overseas numbers.
In third place, Universal's The Odyssey continues sailing to strong numbers. On its sixth weekend, the film added $19.7 million, which was down just 17% from last week. With $539.2 million domestically, it has passed The Dark Knight ($534.9 million) to become Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film. It doesn't look like it's stopping anytime soon, so there's now one guarantee and one possibility: it's guaranteed to hit $600 million domestically, and it will try to outgross Deadpool & Wolverine ($636.7 million) to become the biggest R-rated film in North America. Absolutely insane.
Staying at #4, Paramount's Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie added $9.1 million this weekend. That's down 55%, which is a rough drop for an animated title, and was bigger than the prior films (49% and 50%). Through 10 days, the film has earned $35.4 million. Given its drops, it looks to finish with around $55 million.
Dropping to fifth place, WB's The End of Oak Street added $8.7 million. That's a very rough 58% drop, although at least it was a bit better than Disclosure Day's drop (60%). It seems word of mouth is not very strong with this film. Through 10 days, the film has earned a disappointing $37.7 million. Don't expect it to make it much further than $50 million.
Debuting in sixth place, Lionsgate's Mutiny tanked with $7.7 million in 2,703 theaters. That's way off from Jason Statham's A Working Man ($15.5 million) and only a little above Shelter ($5.5 million).
Not like it was expected to open much higher; this is a Jason Statham action flick. Plot is an after-thought, you know what you're getting here. But Lionsgate didn't heavily push the film, and to make things worse, Amazon accidentally leaked the full film briefly to their streaming service just a few days before hitting theaters. Even though it's no longer available in the service, it makes one wonder how it could impact sales.
According to Lionsgate, the audience was unsurprisingly male-skewing, and 64% was 35 and over. As expected, it played strongly with dads. They gave it a fine "B+" on CinemaScore, similar to Statham's prior films. Given his films don't usually leg out, don't expect this to hang around much higher than $20 million domestically.
After its limited run for the past two weeks, A24 expanded the biopic Tony to 1,642 theaters and it earned a pretty good $5 million. That's a little bit below what The Invite posted on its first wide release ($5.9 million), and takes its domestic total to $6.6 million. Notably, it's already director Matt Johnson's highest-grossing film, surpassing Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie ($4 million).
A24 did a pretty good job with rolling out the film; posting strong numbers on its limited release, and not taking long for it to hit wide release, preventing it from losing buzz. But it also speaks to the accessability of the subject matter: Anthony Bourdain is one of the most iconic chefs, so a biopic focusing on his early years can lead to some curiosity. The film enjoyed strong reviews (95% on RT), and it looks like word of mouth is also encouraging (PostTrak is at 91% with a 74% definite recommend). It looks like Tony could hold very well over the next few weeks.
Universal re-released The Fast and the Furious for its 25th anniversary. It earned $3.1 million in 1,561 theaters. That takes the lifetime gross to $148.3 million.
The week's biggest failure was Black Bear's comedy Spa Weekend, which flopped with just $3 million in 2,009 theaters. Black Bear has been struggling to open its own films, and there's nothing indicating this will change. Don't expect this to last long in theaters.
Rounding out the Top 10 was MUBI's expansion of Jane Schoenbrun's Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma in 1,036 theaters. It earned $1.9 million, which is higher than the first expansion of I Saw the TV Glow although that's apples-to-oranges; that film peaked at 469 theaters. The film's lifetime was lifted to $3.6 million.
Outside the Top 10, Vertical's The Magic Faraway Tree flopped with $1.3 million in 1,611 theaters.
Toy Story 5 dropped 56%, earning $1 million this weekend. The film has hit $477.9 million domestically so far.
We might have to check in One Night Only and Super Troopers 3. After their weak starts and their steep second weekend drops, the films lost over 2,000 theaters each. As such, both dropped 85% and 87%. Domestic totals for both are $11.3 million and $7.3 million, respectively.
OVERSEASSpider-Man: Brand New Day added $70 million overseas, taking its worldwide total to $2.221 billion, sitting as the fifth highest grossing film of all time. The best markets are China ($221.4M), the UK ($117.8M), Mexico ($84.6M), France ($74.3M), Brazil ($66.3M), South Korea ($59.5M), Germany ($57.5M), and Australia ($54.1M). Definitely hitting $2.5-$2.6 billion at this rate.
The Odyssey wasn't far off from Spidey. It added $68.7 million overseas, taking its worldwide tally to a spectacular $1.451 billion. With this, the film has officially passed Deadpool & Wolverine ($1.338 billion) to become the biggest R-rated film worldwide.
The biggest markets are the UK ($100.6M), France ($75.3M), China ($69.4M), Italy ($59.8M), South Korea ($56M), Germany ($52.2M), Australia ($39.9M), Spain ($37.6M), Mexico ($35M), and Netherlands ($20.9M). On the IMAX front, the film has earned a staggering $406.5 million worldwide.
The Odyssey is already sitting as the 18th biggest film in history, passing Frozen 2 ($1.450 billion) and Barbie ($1.447 billion). The next film to pass will be Avatar: Fire and Ash ($1.485 billion). And based on its holds, it's not slowing down at all. Not content with becoming Nolan's highest-grossing film or the highest-grossing R-rated film, it's got two more records coming. The first is becoming the first R-rated film to earn $1 billion alone from overseas, a figure that will achieve very soon. And the second is passing Jurassic World ($1.671 billion) to become Universal's highest-grossing film. It's got enough gas to actually hit $1.7 billion worldwide. Simply insane to think about.
Insidious: Out of the Further debuted with a pretty scary $34.5 million overseas, for a healthy $59.6 million worldwide start. As expected, the real money for this franchise is outside America. The best debuts were in Mexico ($4.2M), Philippines ($4M), the UK ($3.1M), France ($1.7M), Indonesia ($1.7M), Spain ($1.6M), Germany ($1.4M), Peru ($1.3M), India ($1.2M), Italy ($1.1M), and the Netherlands ($573K). Which means that the film already broke even. It still has some markets left, so expect this to hold for the next few weeks.
Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie added $11.5 million overseas, for a $103.4 million worldwide total. It opened in Hong Kong ($290K), Malaysia ($115K) and India ($189K). Notable holdovers were France ($1.9M, $11M total) and China ($912K, $10.4M total).
The End of Oak Street added $11.2 million, for a weak $85.7 million worldwide run. The best markets are the UK ($6.3M), Mexico ($5M), France ($4.3M), and Japan ($3.3M).
It took a while, but Obsession has finally hit $500 million worldwide, its last remaining milestone. The film notably passed Elemental ($494.6 million) to become the top grossing original film since the COVID-19 pandemic. With a $750K budget, that's a 668% ROI. Definitely the best box office story of the year (yes, that includes Spidey's records).
Also reaching that milestone was Universal/Illumination's Minions & Monsters, which hit $505.6 million worldwide.
FILMS THAT ENDED THEIR RUN THIS WEEK Movie Release Date Studio Domestic Opening Domestic Total Worldwide Total Budget The Death of Robin Hood Jun/19 A24 $2,867,662 $5,355,164 $8,723,281 $20M Supergirl Jun/26 Warner Bros. $37,102,018 $72,366,532 $126,366,532 $170M- A24's The Death of Robin Hood has closed with a very bad $5.3 million domestically and $8.7 million worldwide, way below its $20 million budget. Michael Sarnoski had made two-well received films, but this film had so many obstacles to overcome, starting by the fact that audiences have lost interest in Robin Hood adaptations. And then the film's mixed reviews (67% on RT) and word of mouth ("C+" on CinemaScore) sank its prospects. Sarnoski still has the Death Stranding adaptation as his next film, so hopefully it fares much better.
- It's not the biggest flop of the summer (Masters of the Universe cost more and grossed less), but it sure is the most disappointing one. WB's Supergirl has closed with a pathetic $72.3 million domestically and $126.3 million worldwide, nowhere close to recouping its $170 million investment and becoming one of the biggest superhero flops of all time. The film had so many things against it, including uninspired trailers that didn't give audiences a reason to pay a ticket. But then the film's reviews (52% on RT) and word of mouth ("B–" on CinemaScore) doomed it. The film opened below expectations and posted an abysmal 1.95x multiplier. Overseas, like Superman, didn't save it. DC Studios will have to seriously reconsider their plans for the future, given that Supergirl was sold as a key player (and she is going to appear in Man of Tomorrow next year). Fumbling the bag on the second film is not good at all. Failures like these cannot happen.
Two films are opening in wide release, but it still remains unlikely that either overtakes Spidey.
20th Century Studios is releasing Ridley Scott's new film, The Dog Stars. It stars Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Margaret Qualley, and Guy Pearce, and follows a former civilian pilot and a hardened former Marine as they confront outside threats and hold onto the possibility of a better life beyond where they currently live in a post-apocalyptic landscape. Despite the names attached, buzz has been very low, and Scott's box office track record has been very inconsistent (but it has leaned more miss over the past 10 years). Even with IMAX push, it's gonna have a tough time recovering its $110 million budget.
Now the week's "buzziest" title is Ketchup Entertainment's Coyote vs. Acme, a film that has drawn so much attention online. It's a live-action/animation hybrid, following Wile E. Coyote as he enlists a billboard attorney to sue the Acme Corporation for repeatedly selling him alleged faulty products. It got so much attention when WB decided to shelve the film to obtain a tax write-off, but later reversed its decision and allowed the filmmakers to seek other distributors following public backlash. Ketchup Entertainment acquired the rights for $50 million, after previously doing so with The Day the Earth Blew Up. And it's got the acclaim: 95% on RT, 75 on Metacritic. Now why is the word "buzziest" in quotes? Because it remains to be seen if the online attention will translate to ticket sales. Are the people who demanded the film's release gonna show up? And will it be enough to recover its $70 million budget?
