The Odyssey & Spider-Man Crush New Labor Day Weekend Releases On U.S. Box Office Chart



Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey are continuing to dominate the domestic box office more than a month later.

Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey debuted on July 17 and topped the domestic box office for two consecutive weekends until Spider-Man: Brand New Day (the 38th movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the fourth to center on Tom Holland as Spider-Man) arrived on July 31 and claimed the No. 1 position. However, The Odyssey has consistently charted, spending three weekends at No. 2 and two at No. 3. Both movies raced past the billion-dollar milestone and landed on the chart of the highest-grossing movies of all time worldwide, with The Odyssey at No. 14 and Spider-Man at No. 3.

Sony Pictures Entertainment has announced that, as of Sunday morning, Spider-Man: Brand New Day is projected to earn $18 million over the traditional 3-day weekend at the domestic box office and $23.3 million over the 4-day Labor Day holiday weekend. This is more than enough for it to continue its run at No. 1 into a sixth consecutive weekend, which is a first for the MCU.

While 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home was No. 1 for six nonconsecutive weekends, the longest continuous span that any previous installment had spent at No. 1 after its debut was five weekends (Black Panther and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever both accomplished this record).

Additionally, per The Numbers, The Odyssey is projected to earn a 3-day domestic total of $13 million (its projected 4-day total is $17.2 million). This sees it rising back to No. 2 during its eighth weekend in theaters. The movie has had such tremendously consistent performance week over week that its run in IMAX 70mm was recently extended to 11 weeks, through the end of September.

The new releases that debuted over Labor Day weekend hoping to snag some of that holiday viewership were not so lucky. The only one to premiere on the chart is the Mark Wahlberg historical crime drama By Any Means, which is set to earn one of the star’s 10 lowest debuts of all time, landing at No. 4 with a 3-day of $7.4 million and a 4-day of $9.1 million.

By Any Means wasn’t able to compete with the Looney Tunes movie Coyote vs. Acme, which was shelved by Warner Bros. in 2023 as a tax write-off but later acquired and resurrected by Ketchup Entertainment. The movie, which has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%, is expected to drop an astoundingly narrow 29% during its sophomore weekend, which would give it roughly the 112th smallest sophomore drop of all time for a saturated release in more than 3,000 theaters.

The horror sequel Insidious: Out of the Further also had a graceful fall, dropping one spot from No. 4 to No. 5 during its third weekend, which has allowed it to pass the $50 million domestic milestone. By the end of the holiday weekend, it will have outgrossed Insidious and Insidious: Chapter 3 to become the fourth highest-grossing installment in the franchise.

The weekend’s other major new releases, the survival thriller sequel Fall 2: Deadpoint and the Adam Wingard action-horror movie Onslaught have struggled to connect, debuting outside of the Top 10 entirely. Fall 2 is projected to earn a 3-day of $2.3 million while Onslaught is looking at a 3-day of $1.9 million.

With just one new release staking a claim on the chart, only one holdover title has exited. That would be Ridley Scott’s post-apocalyptic thriller The Dog Stars. After debuting at No. 5, it has crashed to No. 9 with a drop of 65%.

While many such lukewarm releases have failed to find purchase throughout late July and August, the success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day and The Odyssey (alongside earlier hits including Toy Story 5 and Obsession) have helped push the summer as a whole to a cumulative domestic box office total that, if the chips fall the right way on Monday, could become the best summer on record, beating 2013’s $4.756 billion.
