411 Box Office Report: Spider-Man: Brand New Day Reigns Again, Coyote vs. Acme Takes #2

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is once again a box office champion, reigning for another week while Coyote vs. Acme started decently. The MCU blockbuster spent a fifth weekend at #1 with a $22.2 million frame. That is down just 43% from last weekend’s numbers. The film now has $891.5 million domestically and $2.332 billion worldwide, putting it at the #2 domestic grosser of all time. It is now within striking distance of Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ $936.7 million domestic record and regardless, it’s a massive hit against its $225 million budget.

Meanwhile, Coyote vs. Acme opened at the higher end of expectations for the #2 spot. The live-action and CGI hybrid Looney Tunes comedy opened to $15.5 million. That is a decent enough start, especially for a film that had to fight for its very life to get to the big screen after Warner Bros. shelved it for a tax break, then relented and took bids from other buyers over the backlash.

The film ended up with Ketchup Entertainment, and Coyote vs. Acme is its biggest opening weekend to date. By comparison, they also released Warner Bros.’ The Day the Earth Blew Up after acquiring it in 2025 and that film opened to $3.2 million.

Now, it should be said that this is still not a blockbuster opening for a film that Ketchup reportedly paid $50 million for. But they also gave it a light marketing campaign at a reported $10 million, and international grosses have yet to come in. So it’s very possible that this could end up in good shape, especially when the critic aggregate is an impressive 96% on Rotten Tomatoes and the word of mouth is also stellar (96% RT audience rating, A CinemaScore).

Does that mean that the film has an easy road to profit? No, not necessarily. But if the film ends up holding well, it has a real shot at good numbers. It seems likely that it will at least make it to $45 million domestically, which is a lot more than it would have done sitting in a vault.

The Odyssey was down just 27% in its seventh weekend to gross $14.3 million. The Christopher Nolan mythological epic has now hit $563.8 million domestically and $1.553 billion worldwide. It is of course a major hit, even with a $250 million production budget, and will probably get close to $590 million stateside.

Insidious: Out of the Further took a very predictable drop in its second weekend. The horror film was off 60% to bring in $10.1 million. That is kind of typical for the franchise which burns out quicker than many other horror series these days. That doesn’t mean that Sony is losing money here, though. Out of the Further is already profitable with $43.6 million in the US and $110.2 million worldwide against an $18 million budget. It should be able to finish off around $60 million domestically.

Ridley Scott had a bomb in The Dog Stars, which fell flat at $8 million. That is well below even the modest $15 million it was expected to start at coming into the frame and reps Scott’s lowest opening weekend since The Last Duel launched to $4.7 million.

Dog Stars was simply a case of an expensive film (a $60 million budget) that was underpromoted and not well liked. Critics yawned at it with a 40% aggregate RT score, and audiences shrugged with a 71% RT audience rating and a C+ CinemaScore. There is no good news here, with the film also falling flat internationally at $11.3 million for a $19.3 million worldwide start. This one will be lucky to hit $30 million in the US which will not be enough for profit.

Roadside Attractions released the subversive horror comedy Buddy in 1,258 theaters, and it did quite well. The festival hit opened to $5.4 million, pretty good for a satirical horror take on Barney the Dinosaur. Buddy had a lot of buzz going for it with an 88% RT critic score, and audiences are not hating it with a 78% RT audience rating. We don’t know the film’s budget, and it will likely fall quickly like most indie horror does, but even a $10 million domestic total is probably a win.

The End of Oak Street dropped 43% in its third weekend to add $5 million to its totals. The dino action thriller has now totaled $46 million in the US and $105 million worldwide. It is not going to be profitable in theaters against an $80 million budget and should still end its domestic run around $55 million.

PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie was down 47% in its third weekend to gross $4.9 million. The animated kids’ film now has $43.3 million in the US and $124.6 million worldwide, making it another profitable entry against a $40 million budget. It should end its stateside run at around $50 million to $55 million.

Jason Statham’s Mutiny did what low-key Jason Statham action thrillers do and fell a hefty amount in its second weekend. The film dropped 64% to $2.8 million, bringing its totals to $13.2 million in the US and $19.8 million worldwide. Lionsgate is on the hook for $15 million via the domestic rights and a final total of around $20 million means it will have to lean on digital revenue for profit.

The Anthony Bourdain biopic Tony was down 47% in its second weekend to $2.2 million. The critically acclaimed drama now has $11.1 million domestically and $12.8 million worldwide. No word on the budget, but a $15 million domestic total seems likely.

Spider-Man has a good shot at a sixth straight weekend at #1 next week, with no new wide releases likely to come close. Paramount’s crime thriller By Any Means is targeting the high single digits, while the thrillers Fall 2: Deadpoint and Onslaught should be in the low single digits.
