Spider-Man and The Odyssey Near $2B and Nolan Records at Global Box Office

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is approaching $2 billion at the global box office after its second weekend, while The Odyssey has become Christopher Nolan's highest-grossing film ever, both starring Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Jon Bernthal. The Marvel film earned an estimated $145 million domestically in its second weekend, the third-best sophomore frame in U.S. history, bringing its worldwide total to $1.67 billion. The Odyssey has grossed $1.104 billion globally, surpassing The Dark Knight Rises' $1.084 billion record, and has also become IMAX's highest-grossing release ever with $289.3 million. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, is poised to exceed its predecessor No Way Home's total and potentially join the ranks of Avatar and Avengers: Endgame. Nolan's nearly three-hour Homer adaptation, featuring Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway, has shown strong staying power with minimal box office drops in its fourth weekend.
