1. Spider-Man: Brand New Day

$355 million | Opening Weekend

Tom Holland returns as a lonely, full-time Spider-Man in a world that has forgotten Peter Parker ever existed. Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton (Shang-Chi), the film picks up four years after No Way Home. Peter has dedicated his life to protecting New York while watching MJ (Zendaya) and Ned (Jacob Batalon) move on without him. The pressure of isolation triggers a dangerous evolution of his powers just as a powerful new threat emerges.

Jon Bernthal’s Punisher, Florence Pugh’s Yelena, Mark Ruffalo’s Bruce Banner, and newcomer Sadie Sink add major star power. Early audience and critic reactions praise the emotional core, spectacular set pieces, and Holland’s most mature performance yet. With a $927 million global start already locked in, Brand New Day is not just a hit — it’s a cultural event.

2. The Odyssey

$51 million | $395.5 million total

Christopher Nolan’s nearly three-hour, fully IMAX-shot adaptation of Homer’s epic continues its remarkable run. Matt Damon stars as Odysseus on his perilous journey home, supported by Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson. After a massive $123.5 million opening and a strong second weekend, the film is closing in on $1 billion worldwide and has already become one of the biggest live-action originals of the decade. Its 43% drop this weekend against Spider-Man is actually an impressive hold.

3. Toy Story 5

$6.3 million | $461.7 million total

Pixar’s latest adventure still sits as the highest-grossing film of 2026 domestically. Woody, Buzz, and the gang confront a new threat — electronics that threaten traditional playtime. The film crossed $1 billion worldwide weeks ago and continues to draw strong family audiences even in its seventh weekend.

4. Minions & Monsters

$5.8 million | $168.4 million total

Pierre Coffin’s charming, cinephile-friendly prequel follows the Minions as they try to make a monster movie in 1920s Hollywood. With voices from Trey Parker, Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jesse Eisenberg, and Jeff Bridges, the film has been widely called the most inventive entry in the franchise in years. It’s holding nicely for a mid-summer animated title.

5. Moana (Live-Action)

$5.3 million | $114.8 million total

Disney’s live-action remake starring Catherine Laga’aia and Dwayne Johnson as Maui continues its softer-than-expected run. While it opened lower than hoped, the film is still drawing family crowds and has crossed $260 million globally. Word-of-mouth remains solid even if the theatrical legs have been modest.
