Web-Slinging and Ancient Epics Lead Record-Breaking Box Office Weekend

Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey powered the biggest collective box-office weekend in history, hauling roughly $430 million across all films. Brand New Day opened domestically with about $355 million (second-biggest opening ever) after a $72 million preview, while The Odyssey contributed $51 million in its third weekend and is approaching $911 million worldwide. Holdovers like Toy Story 5, Moana, and Minions & Monsters also boosted totals. Analysts suggest the milestone could edge past Avengers: Endgame’s all-time box-office record, signaling a blockbuster-heavy summer and a possible record-breaking year for cinema.
