Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to deliver in its fourth weekend at the box office after facing off against newcomers Insidious: Out of the Further and the Jason Statham-led Mutiny
Sony Pictures‘ releases claim the top two spots at the domestic box office, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day grosses $39 million for the weekend amid its historic run. This brings its domestic cume to $854.9 million through Sunday, surpassing 2021’s Spider-Man: No Way Home to become the No. 3 highest-grossing film ever at the domestic box office. This also puts Brand New Day as Sony’s highest-grossing domestic film after it set the record last weekend for the top global release in the studio’s history.
Additionally, Brand New Day becomes the No. 6 release of all time at the worldwide box office with $2.22 billion. This surpasses 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens, which moves to seventh on the chart with $2.07 billion. The latest Spidey film is now just behind Titanic at No. 5 with $2.26 billion and Ne Zha 2 at No. 4 with $2.27 billion
Insidious: Out of the Furtheroccupies second place with an opening weekend of $25.3 million for the sixth installment in the horror franchise. The series hails from Screen Gems, Stage 6 Films and Blumhouse Atomic Monster and kicked off with 2011’s original Insidious. Without major studio horror releases for the next four weeks, Out of the Further aims to extend its run with limited competition. It earned a C+ CinemaScore, tying 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door for the series’ lowest grade
With its $60.3 million global tally, Out of the Further pushes the total franchise sum beyond $800 million. Debuting in 3,330 North American theaters, the new entry stars Amelia Eve, Brandon Perea and Lin Shaye and centers on a young mother who can bring spirits back with her to the real world. It followsThe Red Door, which saw the return of original series stars Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne. That one opened to an impressive $33 million domestically before grossing $189 million worldwide throughout its run.
