Hollywood's box office is suddenly looking very healthy - and Tom Holland's Spider-Man is sitting at the center of the party.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day has refused to surrender the crown, winning the North American box office for a fourth consecutive weekend with another $39 million. That pushes its domestic haul to approximately $854.9 million and its worldwide total to a staggering $2.22 billion.
And Peter Parker isn't merely making money anymore. He's coming for the record books.
Spider-Man Is Now Playing With the Biggest Movies Ever
Globally, Brand New Day has already sailed past Star Wars: The Force Awakens and now ranks among the highest-grossing movies in cinema history. The film earned another $109 million worldwide this weekend, including $70 million internationally.
Domestically, things are getting even juicier.
With $854.9 million in North America, Spider-Man is poised to overtake Avengers: Endgame and move into second place on the all-time domestic chart, leaving only Star Wars: The Force Awakens and its $936.7 million total standing between Spidey and the crown.
Four weekends in, Tom Holland's latest Spidey adventure isn't behaving like a movie winding down. It's behaving like a movie hunting records.
But Insidious Gave Spider-Man a Little Scare
Spider-Man may still be king, but the weekend wasn't entirely his.
Insidious: Out of the Further arrived with a respectable $25.3 million domestic opening, good enough for second place. Add another $35 million overseas and the sixth Insidious movie scared up approximately $60.3 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
Not bad for a movie reportedly carrying an $18 million production budget.
Even better for the horror franchise: the new sequel has pushed the combined worldwide box office of the Insidious films beyond $800 million.
So while Spider-Man got the trophy, Insidious may be having the more quietly profitable celebration.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey Just Keeps Getting More Ridiculous
Then there's Christopher Nolan.
Because apparently dominating theaters for six weeks wasn't enough, The Odyssey has now officially become the filmmaker's highest-grossing movie ever, both domestically and globally.
The Matt Damon-led epic added $19.5 million domestically during its sixth weekend, lifting its North American total to roughly $539 million and pushing it past The Dark Knight as Nolan's biggest domestic release, without adjusting for inflation.
Worldwide?
A colossal $1.44 billion.
And The Odyssey recently snatched another particularly flashy title: it surpassed Deadpool & Wolverine to become the highest-grossing R-rated movie ever worldwide.
Nolan basically took Homer, gave audiences an R-rated ancient Greek epic and somehow turned it into one of the biggest commercial movies on the planet.
The Bigger Surprise? Movie Theaters Are Having a Very Good Year
Perhaps the juiciest number isn't attached to Spider-Man, Nolan or a horror franchise.
It's $7 billion.
The 2026 domestic box office has now sailed beyond $7 billion, with year-to-date revenue running approximately 20% ahead of 2025, according to the latest industry estimates.
That's quite the plot twist after years of headlines questioning whether streaming had permanently changed moviegoing.
Right now, audiences seem perfectly happy to leave their couches - provided Hollywood gives them something they actually want to see.
And this weekend offered a pretty revealing snapshot: a gigantic superhero blockbuster at No. 1, an inexpensive horror sequel making serious money at No. 2, and an R-rated Christopher Nolan epic continuing an extraordinary run at No. 3.
Spider-Man has the crown.
Nolan has another historic blockbuster.
Insidious has a franchise that refuses to die.
And Hollywood suddenly has something it hasn't always had lately: a lot to brag about.
