The late-summer box office belonged to familiar heroes, mythic scale and two very different encounters with dinosaurs. Spider-Man kept an iron grip on both sides of the Atlantic, while a packed field of newcomers made the contest beneath it far more revealing than the headline alone.

The Story Behind the Numbers
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
- US and Canada: $71.0 million revised estimate; $786.832 million total.
- UK and Ireland: £6.148 million final; £78.756 million total.
- Chart week: Third weekend in both territories.
A 51% North American drop would be stern for most films, yet here it leaves Spider-Man more than three times ahead of second place. The same pattern holds in the UK and Ireland: the superhero sequel has reached a scale where even a normalising weekend still produces an emphatic number one.
The End of Oak Street
- US and Canada: $21.0 million opening estimate.
- UK and Ireland: £2.113 million opening final.
- Position: Third in both territories.
David Robert Mitchell’s survival thriller emerged from the weekend’s closest contest. It edged PAW Patrol by an estimated $500,000 in North America and opened comfortably ahead of the rest of the new UK field, giving original live-action spectacle a firm foothold beneath the two giant holdovers.
Holdovers and New Arrivals
The Odyssey retained second place with $23.2 million in the US and Canada and £3.762 million in the UK and Ireland, pushing its reported domestic total beyond $500 million. PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie was almost level with Oak Street in North America, while KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS turned a 724-location US launch into fifth place and reached fourth in the UK and Ireland.
Further down the charts, Toy Story 5 remained the durable family holdover, Minions & Monsters continued its UK run, and One Night Only faced a steep second-weekend slide in North America. The mix shows audiences spreading their spend across franchise comfort, event cinema and a cluster of smaller new releases rather than gathering behind a single challenger.
The Limited-Release Pulse
Tony supplied the sharpest specialist result: its $706,676 North American weekend came from 37 locations, a $19,099 per-cinema average, while its UK and Ireland opening reached £402,471. KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS also converted a comparatively contained footprint into a top-five position, demonstrating how fan-led event releases can cut through a blockbuster-heavy frame.
UK Newcomers Beyond the Top Five
Vishwanath & Sons and Awarapan 2 gave Indian cinema two places in the UK and Ireland top 11, while Sunny Dancer and Lady opened further down the chart. Their numbers are modest beside the leaders, but each expands the weekend beyond the dominant studio tentpoles and underlines the range of films still finding theatrical audiences.
What to Watch Next
The key question is whether Spider-Man can turn a normalising hold into another commanding weekend. Watch the gap between The Odyssey and The End of Oak Street, and whether family audiences keep PAW Patrol and Toy Story 5 moving in tandem across both territories.
