Spider-Man: Brand New Day held onto the top position at the domestic box office over the late-August holiday weekend, continuing a strong run more than a month after its release. The film took in roughly 7 million dollars on August 30 alone, a sign of steady demand well past its opening.
Behind it, the animated title Coyote vs. Acme opened in the number two spot with about 4.8 million dollars on the same day, in the early part of its theatrical run. The Odyssey rounded out the top three, still drawing audiences deep into its release.
The results capped a summer that studios and theater owners had watched closely, hoping for signs that moviegoing habits were recovering. A handful of well-received releases helped keep cinemas busy through the season’s final weeks.
Superhero films have remained a reliable draw at the box office, and the latest Spider-Man entry extended that pattern with a long stay near the top of the chart. Its staying power suggested that word of mouth had helped sustain ticket sales beyond the opening rush.
With the summer season closing, attention turned to the autumn lineup and whether the momentum could carry into the slower months. Industry watchers said a strong finish to August offered some encouragement heading into the rest of the year.
