Why is Spider-Man: Brand New Day still No. 1 in the U.K. and Ireland?
Sony's Spider-Man: Brand New Day has shown unusual staying power. In its fourth frame, the superhero blockbuster collected £3.6 million ($4.8 million), pushing its running cumulative gross in the territory to $117.9 million, according to Variety.
That four-week reign keeps the film ahead of a crowded field of holdovers and new entrants. The result suggests sustained audience demand for the latest Spider-Man installment well beyond its opening surge.
How did The Odyssey perform in its sixth weekend?
Universal's The Odyssey, directed by Christopher Nolan, held firmly in second place during its sixth week. The epic grossed $3.7 million, crossing the $100 million milestone with a local total of $101.4 million.
The film's endurance mirrors Spider-Man's, making the U.K. and Ireland chart a two-horse race at the top. Both titles continue to anchor conversation around 2026's theatrical recovery.
How strong was Insidious: Out of the Further's opening?
Horror sequel Insidious: Out of the Further, distributed by Sony, arrived in third place with an opening weekend of $2.9 million. That debut ranked among the stronger new releases of the frame.

What else filled out the U.K. and Ireland top 10?

What's coming to U.K. cinemas in the next frame?
Looking ahead, mid-week event programming begins Aug. 26 with Trafalgar Releasing's music documentary Ghost: 2 Big to Rig across 100-plus locations. Wide debuts on Aug. 28 across 300-plus sites include Disney's post-apocalyptic drama The Dog Stars, starring Jacob Elordi and Josh Brolin.
