Box Office: ‘The End of Oak Street’ Chomps on $8.1 Million, But ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Is Still No. 1 With $19 Million

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” led the box office again on Friday despite competition from Anne Hathaway and a horde of hungry dinosaurs. The Warner Bros. sci-fi thriller “The End of Oak Street” landed in second place on opening day with $8.1 million from 3,446 North American theaters. Rivals estimate the film will earn about $18.7 million domestically by Sunday. That’s a soft start since “Oak Street” cost more than $80 million to produce. Reviews (84% on Rotten Tomatoes) and word-of-mouth (”B” grade on CinemaScore exit polls) have been positive, so there is a chance “Oak Street” sticks around in theaters and justifies its price tag. “It Follows” filmmaker David Robert Mitchell wrote and directed “The End of Oak Street,” which chronicles a suburban family whose neighborhood is suddenly blipped to prehistoric times. Hathaway stars alongside Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, Christian Convery and Jordan Alexa Davis. Popular on Variety This weekend’s other major newcomer, “PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie,” took third after earning $7.35 million on Friday from 3,545 North American cinemas. The animated family adventure should dig up about $20 million for Paramount through the weekend. That projection aligns with its predecessor, “The Mighty Movie,” which opened with $22 million and grossed $205 million by the end of its run. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” still reigned supreme with $19 million domestically on Friday. Through its third weekend, the Marvel-Sony tentpole is targeting $67 million, which represents about a 53% decline from last week’s numbers. That would push “Brand New Day’s” North American revenues to roughly $783 million. Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” is still holding strong at No. 4 through its fifth weekend. The Greek epic added $6.5 million domestically on Friday and is expected to pull in $23 million through the weekend. That would put the film’s North American haul at $504 million. Finally, in fifth was “Katseye: Wild Hearts.” The documentary, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at the global girl group, made an estimated $2.2 million on Friday from just 724 theaters. By Sunday, it’s expected to gross about $3.8 million.
