Spider-Man Swinging to Fourth Box Office Win as Horror and Action Rivals Arrive

Spider-Man: Brand New Day looks ready to hold the top spot at the box office for a fourth straight weekend. The Marvel blockbuster faces new competition from the supernatural horror sequel Insidious: Out of the Further and Jason Statham’s action thriller Mutiny.

Tom Holland’s latest Spider-Man adventure has maintained its momentum since its July debut. Sony and Marvel expect the film to continue its box office run despite the arrival of two major new releases.

The film has already delivered a remarkable performance. After just three weekends in theaters, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has crossed the $2 billion mark worldwide. The milestone makes it one of 2026’s biggest box office hits. It has also become Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film ever, highlighting the franchise’s enormous global appeal.

During its third weekend, Brand New Day earned roughly $70 million in North America and another $188.7 million worldwide. Those results lifted its domestic total to approximately $785.8 million. Its worldwide haul has now moved beyond $2 billion.

Insidious: Out of the Further represents the biggest new challenge for Spider-Man: Brand New Day this weekend.

The latest installment in the supernatural horror franchise made an immediate impact on Friday. It earned an estimated $10.6 million and briefly took the No. 1 spot for the day. However, early projections still favor Spider-Man: Brand New Day to win the full weekend.

The horror sequel also collected around $3 million from Thursday previews. That result points to strong interest from fans of the long-running Insidious series.

Still, Spider-Man has several advantages. The Marvel film has built a huge fanbase, while its international performance continues to strengthen its overall box office total. Those factors could help it stay ahead across the entire weekend.

Jason Statham also joins the weekend box office battle with Mutiny.

Jean-François Richet directs the action thriller, which stars Statham as a former police officer who works as a bodyguard. His character becomes caught in a dangerous conspiracy after someone murders his billionaire employer.

The movie reportedly carries a production budget of around $40 million. It also gives audiences a more traditional action alternative to Marvel’s superhero spectacle and the supernatural scares of Insidious.

Statham’s established reputation as an action star could help Mutiny attract moviegoers. However, the film enters a particularly competitive theatrical market.

The continued success of Spider-Man: Brand New Day highlights a strong summer for Hollywood.

The Marvel blockbuster has joined major releases such as The Odyssey and Toy Story 5 in driving audiences back to theaters. Together, these films have helped push the 2026 domestic box office ahead of the same period in both 2019 and 2025.

For Sony, Brand New Day has emerged as the studio’s biggest theatrical success of the year. The film has already crossed $2 billion worldwide, and its strong fourth-weekend prospects could push the total even higher.

With Insidious: Out of the Further and Mutiny now competing for moviegoers, the weekend will test whether Spider-Man can maintain his box office dominance.

So far, the numbers suggest that Tom Holland’s web-slinger still has plenty of momentum left.
