Box Office: 'Spider-Man' tops again, while 'The Odyssey' breaks record for Christopher Nolan

Key Points:

• "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" retained its number one spot at the box office in its fourth weekend, earning $39 million from over 4,000 theaters and surpassing $854.9 million in North America, poised to become the second highest-grossing domestic release after "Star Wars: The Force Awakens."
• Christopher Nolan’s "The Odyssey" became his highest-grossing film ever, adding $19.5 million domestically and $68 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total to $1.4 billion and surpassing previous R-rated box office records.
• Sony’s "Insidious: Out of the Further," the sixth installment in the horror franchise, grossed $25.3 million domestically and $35 million internationally, with an $18 million production budget, making it the most expensive film in the series.
• Newcomers "Mutiny" and "Spa Weekend" opened with modest earnings of $7.5 million and $3.1 million respectively, with "Mutiny" potentially impacted by a brief accidental free release on Prime Video and mixed reviews affecting both films.
• The summer movie season has generated an estimated $4.4 billion in North American ticket sales, ranking among the top four highest-grossing summers ever, aided by a diverse slate of films and renewed moviegoer enthusiasm following the 2023 Hollywood strikes.
