The first full September frame arrived with a clear North American winner and a strikingly different British picture. New releases supplied the spark, but the weekend’s real story is the distance between a fresh opening and the long tail of the summer’s surviving giants.

The Story Behind the Numbers
Practical Magic 2
- US and Canada: $30.003 million opening weekend.
- Locations: 4,146 cinemas.
- Chart position: Number one.
Practical Magic 2 did not need a photo finish. Its $30 million opening created a sizeable gap to the rest of the field, giving the sequel a decisive start while the broader chart made room for new action, horror and specialty arrivals.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day
- US and Canada: $8.411 million in its seventh weekend.
- Domestic total: $935.182 million.
- Chart position: Number two.
The holdover slipped from first place but remained the weekend’s defining durable performer. Its seven-week domestic total is large enough to keep every subsequent decline in perspective: the race has shifted from opening-weekend momentum to a formidable cumulative run.
Holdovers, New Releases and the Specialist End
The Odyssey held third, while Runner entered in fourth and Coyote vs. Acme stayed close behind. Buddy, Insidious: Out of the Further, The Uprising and Hope made the middle of the US chart unusually crowded with returning and opening titles. At the specialist end, If I Go Will They Miss Me opened in a single cinema with $39,186, a notable per-location result beneath the wide-release conversation.
Great Britain’s fallback chart is much shorter but emphatic: Don’t Look Back in Anger opened at number one, ahead of late-run family holdovers Toy Story 5 and Moana. The figures are shown exactly in the chart’s displayed US-dollar currency.
What to Watch Next
Watch whether Practical Magic 2 holds its lead next weekend, and whether the established totals of Spider-Man and The Odyssey can continue to turn normal falls into blockbuster-scale results.
