'End of Oak Street' Estimate, 'Spider-Man 3' to Remain No. 1

Key Points:

• "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" is expected to top the North American box office for its third weekend, potentially earning $65-$70 million despite five new releases, and is on track to surpass $2 billion worldwide, joining an elite group of blockbuster films.
• Warner Bros.' sci-fi thriller "The End of Oak Street," starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, aims for a $20-$30 million debut from 3,400 theaters, with its success dependent on positive word-of-mouth due to its $80 million budget.
• Paramount's "PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie" targets a $20 million opening from 3,500 theaters, following strong international performance and leveraging the franchise's $14 billion global retail sales since 2014.
• Smaller releases like "The Wrong Girls" (Kristen Stewart), "The Rivals of Amziah King" (Matthew McConaughey), and "The Brink of War" (Jeff Daniels, Jared Harris) aim for modest single-digit million debuts, offering counter-programming for adult audiences.
• "The Odyssey," in its fifth weekend, is projected to add $17-$20 million, having grossed $466 million domestically and $1.11 billion globally, marking it as Christopher Nolan’s highest-grossing film to date.
