Spider-Man: Brand New Day has maintained its dominance at the North American box office, remaining at No.
1 for a third consecutive weekend.According to Variety, the
film earned $19 million
in the US and Canadian markets on Friday alone. Its weekend collection is
expected to reach around $67 million.Warner Bros’ science-fiction
thriller ‘The End of Oak Street’
opened in second place. The film earned $8.1
million from 3,446 theatres in North America on its opening
day.Industry projections suggest
the film could gross around $18.7
million in the US and Canada by Sunday. Given its production
budget of more than $80 million, the opening is considered weaker than
expected.However, the film has
received encouraging reviews from audiences and critics. It currently has an 84 percent score on Rotten Tomatoes
and a B grade from CinemaScore.Written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, known for ‘It
Follows’, the film follows a suburban family whose neighbourhood is suddenly

McGregor, Maisy Stella, Christian Convery and Jordan Alexa Davis.Meanwhile, Paramount’s
animated family film ‘PAW Patrol: The
Dino Movie’ opened in third place, earning $7.3 million on Friday. It is projected
to collect around $20 million
over the weekend.‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’
saw its third-weekend earnings fall by about 53 percent from the previous weekend. Even so, the
decline was not enough to dislodge it from the top spot. Its total North
American gross could reach around $783
million after this weekend.Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Odyssey’ also continued its
strong run. The epic, based on the Greek classic, earned another $6.5 million on Friday in its fifth
weekend. Its weekend total is projected at around $23 million, taking its North
American gross to approximately $504
million.
