‘Spider-Man’ and ‘The Odyssey’ power biggest box office weekend in history

The two blockbusters together pulled in more than $400 million at the domestic box office this weekend.

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” swung to the top of the box office charts with a whopping $360 million debut — the biggest opening weekend in domestic box office history.

Combined with the ongoing draw of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” which pulled in another $51 million this weekend, the two blockbusters delivered a one-two punch that made this the biggest box office weekend ever.

“It reminds me a bit of the Barbenheimer phenomenon, where you had two movies creating this fervor around moviegoing, and that plays very well,” said Paul Dergarabedian, head of marketplace trends at box office analytics company Rentrak.

Together, the two films’ weekend outpaced the box office record set by “Avengers: Endgame,” which opened to $357 million in 2019.

The hype for Sony and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” is a worldwide phenomenon: The film amassed $932 million globally in its opening weekend alone.
