Overview
- Trade estimates show Spider-Man is projected to earn roughly $65–67 million in its third weekend, bringing its North American cume to about $782–784 million and global totals near $1.8–1.84 billion as it tracks toward $2 billion.
- Two August wide openings failed to dislodge it: Warner Bros.’ The End of Oak Street recorded $2.0–2.5 million in Thursday previews and $8.1 million on Friday with a weekend projection near $18–$23 million, and Paramount’s PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie made about $1.9 million in previews and is expected to open around $20 million.
- Critic and audience response diverge for Oak Street, which holds roughly 84–85% on Rotten Tomatoes but earned a B on CinemaScore and carries a reported $80–$92 million production budget that will pressure profitability if weekend returns stay mid‑teens.
- Paw Patrol opened to stronger family turnout, earned an A CinemaScore and appears positioned to reach mid‑teens to about $20 million domestically, supporting steady long‑tail revenue for the franchise against a roughly $39.5 million budget.
- Industry coverage notes that large paid previews, presales, premium‑format allocations and overseas markets such as India and China are driving Spider‑Man’s legs, but regional new releases and screen competition could shape how quickly its totals climb over the next two weeks.
