Will North America's total box office top $200 million over the Aug 7-9 weekend?

The North American box office exceeded $200 million during the Aug. 7-9, 2026 weekend, according to trade estimates reported by Deadline and Variety. The weekend total reached approximately $205 million, the third-best all-title weekend in U.S./Canada box office history, trailing only the record $437 million opening weekend for "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" the prior week and the $231.6 million debut of "Toy Story 5" in June. "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" accounted for the bulk of the total, grossing $145 million in its second weekend, per Variety. That figure ranked as the third-largest second weekend in domestic box office history, behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($149.2 million, 2015) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($147.3 million, 2019). The film's 10-day domestic gross surpassed $655 million. Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey" contributed roughly $31.5 million in continued release, pushing its worldwide total past $1.1 billion and making it Nolan's highest-grossing film. New wide releases were more modest: "One Night Only" opened to about $5.7 million and "Super Troopers 3" to about $4 million, with "Ice Cream Man" also entering release. Predict Six's community had been evenly split ahead of resolution, with 50 percent forecasting yes. The final weekend total cleared the $200 million threshold by roughly $5 million, resolving the market yes.
