‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Odyssey’ Push U.S. Box Office to All-Time Record $434 Million Overall Weekend

Skip to content The two films starring Tom Holland, Zendaya and Jon Bernthal broke the $402 million record set by the opening of “Avengers: Endgame” Tom Holland in "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "The Odyssey" After several years of closures, months-long slumps, and existential uncertainty, movie theaters have enjoyed a summer full of good box office news that peaked this weekend, as Sony/Marvel Studios’ “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” with some key help from the third weekend of Universal’s “The Odyssey,” pushed the U.S./Canada box office to the highest overall weekend total of all time. The $355-358 million domestic opening of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” — a possible all-time record depending on Monday actuals — combined with the $51 million third weekend of “The Odyssey” to push overall totals to $434 million. That surpasses the $402 million overall total recorded in April 2019 with the opening weekend of “Avengers: Endgame” for the all time record. Michael O’Leary, CEO and President of movie theater trade organization Cinema United, hailed the historic weekend as proof of the power of moviegoing to bring in millions with a variety of stories. “Moviegoers across generations made this weekend one for the record books. Our industry is at its best when there is something for everyone to see on the big screen, and this year we are seeing what happens when the innovation and creativity on display in amazing movie theatres across the country and around the world is combined with a great slate of films,” O’Leary wrote in a statement.
