"The End of Oak Street" finished third at the U.S. box office for the weekend of Aug. 14-16, 2026, opening to an estimated $21 million domestically. It placed behind Sony's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day," which led for a third straight weekend with roughly $70-71 million, and Christopher Nolan's "The Odyssey," which held second place with $23.2 million in its fifth weekend. The Warner Bros. prehistoric-survival thriller, starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor, added about $26 million internationally for a $47 million global start and earned a middling B CinemaScore. That grade points to a muted opening-night audience reaction as the likely reason it could not close the gap on Nolan's holdover hit for second place. Despite falling short of second, the debut still ranked among the stronger original-film openings of 2026, trailing only a handful of bigger studio originals released earlier in the year. Community sentiment on this question was evenly split at 50%, reflecting genuine uncertainty going into the weekend about whether Oak Street's star power could leapfrog "The Odyssey."
