The weekend box-office preview shows a familiar superhero anchor for Los Angeles audiences, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day commanding the top spot and delivering a $39 million domestic haul over the three-day period. The Numbers data indicates the film held the number-one position for the third straight weekend, despite a 45 percent drop from its opening week, and it remains the only new release on the chart.

Beyond the headline act, the field is thin. Insidious: Out of the Further entered the chart as a new entry with a $25 million total, while The Odyssey slipped to third with a $19.7 million weekend. The Numbers also notes that the overall domestic box-office total for the weekend sits at $129 million, a figure that reflects both the strength of the Spider-Man franchise and the limited competition.

## Spider-Man: Brand New Day cements its lead

According to [The Numbers](https://www.the-numbers.com/weekend-box-office-chart), Spider-Man: Brand New Day posted a $39,000,155 gross for the August 21-23 weekend, ranking first among 56 titles. The film’s theater count fell to 4,006 for the final day of the weekend, down from a peak of 4,539 earlier in the run, but its per-theater average of $9,735 still outpaced every other release.

The movie’s financial trajectory is detailed on its dedicated page at [The Numbers](https://www.the-numbers.com/movie/Spider-Man-Brand-New-Day-%282026%29). To date it has amassed $866,494,421 in domestic receipts, a figure that represents roughly 38.8 percent of its $2.23 billion worldwide total. The production budget was $225 million, meaning the film has earned more than three times its cost in the United States alone.

Sony Pictures’ official site describes the plot as a “full-time Spider-Man” story where Peter Parker faces a physical evolution and an unseen villain that threatens the city. The description underscores the franchise’s continued relevance to Los Angeles audiences, many of whom attend the film at the city’s multiplexes that regularly host large-scale superhero events.

## Supporting titles and local theater landscape

The second-place film, Insidious: Out of the Further, entered the chart as a new release and posted a $25,106,020 total gross, all of which was earned during its opening weekend. Its 3,303-theater footprint gave it a $7,601 average, a respectable showing for a horror entry but far behind the superhero juggernaut.

The Odyssey, now in its 38th week, slipped to a $19,709,080 weekend with a $6,376 per-theater average across 3,091 screens. Its longevity illustrates the niche appeal of adventure titles that continue to draw steady crowds in neighborhoods such as Hollywood and Koreatown, where independent theaters still program mid-budget fare.

Los Angeles-area exhibitors are also seeing modest returns from family fare like PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie ($9,171,687) and the indie drama The End of Oak Street ($8,751,255). While these numbers are small compared with the Spider-Man juggernaut, they reflect a diversified market where local audiences still support a range of genres, from animated blockbusters to low-budget dramas.

## Curator's Note

Los Angeles theaters rely heavily on tentpole releases to fill large auditoriums and drive ancillary revenue for nearby businesses. Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s sustained lead means downtown multiplexes will see high foot traffic, supporting concession sales and local transit use. Meanwhile, the modest performance of genre titles highlights the need for diverse programming to keep neighborhood cinemas viable amid a superhero-driven market.
