Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues to deliver in its fourth weekend at the box office as it faces off against newcomers Insidious: Out of the Further and the Jason Statham-led Mutiny.
Sony Pictures‘ releases are set to claim the top two spots at the domestic box office, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed $9.8 million on Friday, with the studio projecting it to add $36.5 million for the weekend amid its historic run. This would bring its domestic cume to $852.4 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 will also put 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.
Insidious: Out of the Further occupies second place with $10.6 million on Friday, including Thursday previews. Sony projects an opening weekend of $23.7 million for the sixth installment in the horror franchise that hails from Screen Gems, Stage 6 Films and Blumhouse Atomic Monster and kicked off with 2011’s original Insidious. Out of the Further earned a C+ CinemaScore, tying 2023’s Insidious: The Red Door for the series’ lowest grade.
Debuting in 3,330 North American theaters, Out of the Further 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 follows The 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.

With an $18 million production budget, Out of the Further holds a 60 percent approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 70 percent audience score. Critic Frank Scheck wrote in his review for The Hollywood Reporter that the film “proves routine in its elaborate plot machinations.”
Also opening this weekend is Mutiny, as Lionsgate’s film notched $2.8 million domestically on Friday, including Thursday previews. Earning a B+ CinemaScore from audiences, Statham’s latest action title looks to pick up $7.4 million for the frame to land in sixth place from 2,600 North American screens. MadRiver Pictures and Punch Palace Productions produced the project that carries a $40 million production budget.
Director Jean-François Richet’s feature stars Statham as a former Marine who sets out to prove his innocence after getting framed for murder. It holds a 50 percent approval score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes but an 80 percent score from audiences. Mutiny follows Statham’s Shelter, which opened with $5.5 million domestically earlier this year for Black Bear.

Universal’s The Odyssey is finding a home in third place with an estimated $18.5 million for its sixth weekend to bring its domestic total to $538 million. Starring Matt Damon as Odysseus, Christopher Nolan’s mythological epic surpassed Deadpool & Wolverine during the week to stand as the highest-grossing R-rated title globally.
In its sophomore frame, director David Robert Mitchell’s dinosaur-focused The End of Oak Street looks to scarf down around $8 million to bring the Warner Bros. release’s two-week domestic total to $37 million. Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor star in the survival feature, which is set to decline by around 62 percent.
The weekend’s top-earning dinosaur film has yet to be determined, as PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie is battling with The End of Oak Street for fourth place. Also in its second weekend, Paramount Pictures’ animated sequel is similarly targeting roughly $8 million to decline around 61 percent and bring its domestic tally to an estimated $34 million.
Expanding to a wide release in its third weekend is A24’s Tony, starring Dominic Sessa as a teenage Anthony Bourdain. The feature serves up an estimated $4.8 million from 1,600 North American screens to claim seventh place and bring its domestic cume to around $6.4 million.
The 25th-anniversary rerelease of Universal’s The Fast and the Furious pulls into eighth place with an estimated $3.3 million. The Vin Diesel vehicle grossed $207 million globally in its initial run to kick off the franchise that has a long-awaited eleventh installment in the works.
Black Bear’s comedy Spa Weekend is currently in ninth place with an estimated $3 million domestically from 2,000 locations. Earning a B+ CinemaScore, directors Jon Lucas and Scott Moore’s movie stars Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher, Michelle Buteau and Anna Faris.
Starring Andrew Garfield, The Magic Faraway Tree is heading for an estimated $1.15 million from 1,600 North American screens to land on the outskirts of the top 10. Vertical releases director Ben Gregor’s literary adaptation that also stars Claire Foy.
Director Destin Daniel Cretton‘s blockbuster Spider-Man: Brand New Day keeps spinning to historic heights. Tom Holland, Zendaya, Sadie Sink and Jon Bernthal star in the film that recently set the record as the fastest movie to hit $800 million domestically. After the weekend is over, only 2015’s Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame will hold bigger domestic cumes.
