Spider-Man: Brand New Day is projected to hold the No. 1 box office spot for a third straight weekend with an estimated $65-70 million, potentially the highest third-weekend haul for a Marvel film, per Variety. As of August 10, eleven days into release, it stands at $671 million domestically, already 10th on the all-time unadjusted chart, with some reports suggesting a track toward $1 billion domestically.

The weekend's new release, David Robert Mitchell's sci-fi thriller The End of Oak Street, earned strong critical notices but is projected to open with just $20-30 million, a modest sum overshadowed by Spider-Man's continued dominance and The Odyssey's ongoing run.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK
Box office superlatives arrive so fast now that the article is essentially reporting projections about projections, several sentences removed from any actual money changing hands. None of that stops the industry press from treating tracking numbers as history already written.
