Welcome to **The** **Box Office Report** for the weekend of Aug. 28-30, 2026. ## 1\. Spider-Man: Brand New Day *Weekend gross: *$22.2M** *Total domestic gross: *$891.5M** *Last weekend: *1st** *Percent drop: *43** That’s a fifth straight weekend at No. 1 for *Spider-Man: Brand New Day* as the film continues its historic run through the box office record books. The **Destin Daniel Cretton**\-directed superhero film is less than $10 million away from joining *Star Wars: The Force Awakens* as the only two movies to ever crack $900 million in North America. *The Force Awakens* settled at $936.7 million after its 2015/2016 theatrical stay. Through its fifth weekend, though, the first film in the *Star Wars* sequel trilogy sat at $852.3 million. That gives *Brand New Day* a $39.2 million advantage over *The Force Awakens*. Will the latest MCU film catch and pass *The Force Awakens*? And how much farther could *Brand New Day* go beyond that $936.7 million record? A $1 billion domestic performance seems out of the question at this point, but who saw this *Spider-Man* making this much money in the first place? ## Sign up for Popculturology Love reading about movies, TV shows and everything pop culture?

Coyote vs. Acme *Weekend gross: *$15.5M** *Total domestic gross: *$15.5M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** We did it! Box office glory for *Coyote vs. Acme*! OK, so maybe a $15.5 million opening weekend isn’t a box office number to go crazy over, but it’s $15.5 million more than *Coyote vs. Acme* would’ve debuted with [had **David Zaslav** and Warner Bros. Discovery gotten their way](https://www.theomnicosm.com/popculturology-newsletter-coyote-vs-acme/) and this wonderful film had been shelved forever in exchange for a tax write-off. Among Looney Tunes films, *Coyote vs. Acme* easily outdid the $3.2 million opening weekend of *The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie* (also already matched that film’s entire $15.5 million worldwide haul), while trailing the debuts of *Space Jam* ($27.5 million) and *Space Jam: A New Legacy* ($31.1 million). also from the omnicosm [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/08/snackology-square-new-reverse.png)](https://www.theomnicosm.com/snackology/) Love what you’re reading?

The Odyssey *Weekend gross: *$14.3M** *Total domestic gross: *$563.8M** *Last weekend: *3rd** *Percent drop: *27** Does *The Odyssey* have what it takes to hit the $600 million mark in North America? The **Christopher Nolan** film added $24.6 million since last weekend. *The Odyssey* continues to show remarkable weekend-to-weekend holds, falling only 27 percent between its sixth and seventh weekends. ## 4\. Insidious: Out of the Further *Weekend gross: *$10.1M** *Total domestic gross: *$43.6M** *Last weekend: *2nd** *Percent drop: *60** After debuting at No. 2 last weekend, *Insidious: Out of the Further* suffered a 60 percent drop, falling to No. 4\. Drops like that are going to make it hard for the sixth *Insidious* film to catch up to the franchise’s loftier domestic totals led by *Insidious Chapter 2*’s $83.6 million and *Insidious: The Red Door*’s $81.2 million. ## 5\. The Dog Stars *Weekend gross: *$8M** *Total domestic gross: *$8M** *Last weekend: *New release** *Percent drop: *NA** Woof. Going into the weekend, it looked like *The Dog Stars* would be jostling with *Coyote vs. Acme* for second place behind *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*. Instead, the **Ridley Scott**\-directed adaptation came in at No. 5, failing to even break $10 million over its opening weekend. *Box office numbers via The Numbers and Box Office Mojo based on Sunday estimates.* [![CTA Image](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2026/08/popculturology-wordmark-2.png)](#/portal/account/plans) ****Popculturology is a publication of The Omnicosm.** Issue No. 489 ****Popculturology** is written and produced by ****Bill Kuchman**.
