Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…The box office is burning brighter than ever thanks in large part to the $932 million global opening weekend of Sony/Marvel Studios’ “Spider-Man: Brand New Day.”
But it is worth noting that even against this historic competition, Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is still holding very well as it looks to become the highest grossing R-rated film of all time.
The film then added $10 million from domestic theaters on its third Monday, even as “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” cleaned up with $47 million.
Hitting that milestone was already guaranteed after the film’s second weekend, which saw an overseas weekend drop of just 3% and a domestic weekend drop of 27%.
That’s because “Top Gun: Maverick” was able to take advantage of its Memorial Day weekend launch and leg out through the length of the summer, including through Fathers’ Day and Fourth of July weekend.
