Will North American theaters gross more than $150 million over the Aug 14-16 weekend?

North American theaters cleared the $150 million threshold over the August 14-16, 2026 weekend, led by Sony's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," which held the No. 1 spot for a third consecutive weekend with roughly $70 million domestically, according to Variety and Deadline. The horror thriller "The End of Oak Street" opened in third place with about $21 million domestic, well behind pre-release tracking that had pointed toward a stronger debut. The two films alone accounted for roughly $91 million, with the rest of the weekend's holdover slate, including titles such as "PAW Patrol" and other returning releases, pushing the combined domestic gross past $150 million. Spider-Man's continued strength was central to the frame: the film crossed the $2 billion worldwide mark that same weekend, becoming one of the fastest films to reach that milestone and Sony's biggest release ever, which kept overall theater traffic elevated even as the new release underperformed. The result matched the community's expectation, with 73 percent of voters having predicted a YES outcome ahead of resolution.
