Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues its dominance at the domestic box office this weekend. Sony and Marvel expect the blockbuster to hold the number one position for a third consecutive week with a projected take between 65 and 75 million dollars. The film recently crossed the 700 million dollar mark domestically, placing it among the top earners in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Warner Bros. introduces The End of Oak Street to theaters this weekend as the primary challenger. This dinosaur-survival thriller directed by David Robert Mitchell features Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor. Current industry projections place the opening for this title in the 20 million dollar range as it benefits from strong critical reception.
Paramount Pictures offers family counter-programming with the release of PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie. The film targets a similar opening weekend revenue to The End of Oak Street and may compete for the second-place spot on the charts. Overseas performance already shows 25 million dollars in returns for the animated feature.
Christopher Nolan remains a factor in the top five rankings with The Odyssey. The film currently tracks for a fifth weekend revenue between 16 and 20 million dollars. It sits on the cusp of crossing 500 million dollars in domestic earnings. Rounding out the top projections is the filmed stage production of Six: The Musical.
Other notable releases arriving in limited theaters include The Brink of War from Angel Studios, the crime drama The Rivals of Amziah King, and the comedy The Wrong Girls. These titles are expected to debut with lower weekend totals as they expand into fewer screens compared to the wide-release blockbusters.
