‘Brand New Day’ is already 12th biggest film of all time

Sony Pictures and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued its successful assault on the world’s cinemas, grossing an estimated $381m globally in its second weekend of play, which takes the total after 12 days to $1.67bn.

The film fell 59.7% in North America, which sounds steep, but is par for the course for Marvel sequels. Across international markets, the drop was a gentler 48%.

Domestic total is $655.1m after two weekends of play (that’s a record, beating Avengers: Endgame at the same stage), and for international it’s $1.01bn. The $1.67bn global tally places Brand New Day in 12th place in the all-time ranking, right behind Jurassic World (also $1.67bn) and Inside Out 2 ($1.70bn).

Brand New Day looks a dead cert to overtake the previous best Spider-Man (2021’s No Way Home, on $1.92bn globally) and become the eighth film ever to gross $2bn worldwide.

China continues to lead international markets with Brand New Day, with $186.7m to date. Next comes UK/Ireland with $87.4m, ahead of Mexico ($65.8m), France ($49.2m), South Korea ($43.2m), Australia ($39.1m), Germany ($37.6m) and Italy ($31.1m).

Brand New Day has already overtaken the lifetime totals of all the Spider-Man films featuring Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield in the lead role, as well as the first two outings featuring Tom Holland. (Maguire and Garfield did appear in No Way Home, which is still above Brand New Day, but in supporting roles.)

‘The Odyssey’ is biggest film of all time on Imax

UPDATE: Universal’s The Odyssey achieved more significant box office milestones at the weekend, overtaking The Dark Knight Rises ($1.09bn) to become the biggest Christopher Nolan film of all time, and also becoming the highest-grossing film ever on Imax screens.

The Odyssey added a confirmed $113.6m worldwide at the weekend, taking the global total to $1.11bn. On Imax, it’s grossed a record-breaking $289.3m – 26% of the worldwide total. The Odyssey has helped Imax accomplish its fourth consecutive $50m-plus weekend – a feat of sustainment previously unachieved by the company.

The past seven days have seen The Odyssey overtake three Nolan films – also 2013’s Oppenheimer ($976m) and 2008’s The Dark Knight ($1.01bn). The Odyssey’s $1.10bn total places it 41st in the all-time worldwide ranking, and it will shoot up higher in the coming days and weeks.

The Odyssey debuted in South Korea at the weekend, grossing $14.4m – the biggest ever opening for a Nolan film there, and capturing 44% of the market despite fierce competition from Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

In China, The Odyssey is set to open on August 14, but local data gatherer Artisan Gateway reported previews for the film totalling $7.6m. This box office is not yet reported by Rentrak and is not included in The Odyssey’s $113.6m worldwide weekend tally.

Among international markets, Nolan’s home territory UK/Ireland continues to lead with $82.4m so far, ahead of France ($60.8m), Italy ($50.6m), Germany ($39.4m), Australia ($33.0m), Mexico ($30.6m) and Spain ($29.9m).

In 2025, total box office in Italy saw the market achieve 10th place in the international ranking for the year – just ahead of Spain as the fourth-biggest European territory, behind UK/Ireland, France and Germany. Italy’s success so far with The Odyssey – well ahead of bigger markets Germany, Mexico and Australia – is unusual.

‘Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie’ grosses $25m from first-wave markets

Paramount Pictures’ Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie expanded from two to 30 markets at the weekend, grossing an estimated $23.0m, and taking the total so far to $25.0m. The film – from Paramount Animation, Nickelodeon Movies and Spin Master Entertainment – has yet to open in North America.

China led the way on The Dino Movie with an estimated $5.5m opening, ahead of France ($4.5m including previews), and with UK/Ireland and Germany tied on $2.2m including previews.

This is the third entry in the theatrical film franchise for the animated property, following 2021’s Paw Patrol: The Movie and 2023’s Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. (Previous features such as 2018’s Paw Patrol’s Mighty Pups are considered TV movies, despite being released theatrically in some international markets. The original Canadian TV animated series began airing in 2013.)

The Dino Movie opens in North America this Friday (August 14) and also in a further 22 international markets including Mexico and Brazil. Italy follows on September 9 and Australia on September 10.

The Dino Movie is chasing the $144.4m worldwide lifetime total achieved in 2021 by Paw Patrol: The Movie and the $205.1m reached two years later by Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie. (Not adjusted for inflation.)

The fresh film sees the Paw Patrol pups end up in an unknown world populated by dinosaurs. Franchise returnee Cal Brunker once again directs, writing with Bob Barlen.

‘Toy Story 5’ sets franchise record

The past seven days saw Disney/Pixar’s Toy Story 5 set a worldwide box office record for the franchise, overtaking both Toy Story 3 (just below $1.07bn in 2010) and Toy Story 4 (just above $1.07bn in 2019). The weekend saw Toy Story 5 add an estimated $13.2m worldwide, taking the total to $1.09bn.

Toy Story 5 now ranks third in Pixar’s worldwide box office pantheon, behind only Inside Out 2 ($1.70bn, 2024) and Incredibles 2 ($1.24bn, 2018). It’s also the eighth highest-grossing animation of all time from a US studio. That chart is topped by Disney’s Zootopia 2 ($1.87bn, 2025).

Comparisons are not adjusted for inflation.

Animated Asian films pepper global top 10

There are two films from China and one from Japan – all of them animated – in the latest worldwide weekend top 10 chart, led by All Wishes Come True!. Mu Zhengxing’s animation added an estimated $19.5m, taking the total since July 18 to $208.3m.

Japanese anime Chiikawa The Movie: The Secret Of Mermaid Island is adapted from the manga written and illustrated by Nagano. The film added an estimated $11.95m at the weekend, taking the total since July 24 to $45.1m.

These two holdover titles are joined by fresh Chinese release To Your Island – directed by Harry Zhou, and adapted from Fan Dawang’s web novel of the same name, which was serialised on the Jingjiang Literature City web fiction platform. The fantasy romance sees a youthful woman guided by an origami paper crane to a surreal memory island to lend a hand her amnesiac ex-boyfriend. To Your Island has opened with an estimated $7.5m in China.

Also in Rentrak’s latest worldwide weekend chart: Universal/Illumination’s Minions & Monsters and Universal/Focus Features’ Obsession (both closing in on $500m worldwide) and Disney’s Moana (heading towards $300m).
