Weekend roundup

• Spider Man: Brand New Day delivered £2,787,943 from 691 screens, easing 23% in its fifth week. Its total now stands at £92,816,098, placing it as the 8th highest grossing film ever, just behind Avatar. On the adjusted chart it sits 35th behind A Bridge Too Far. With roughly £11 million left to climb, it is now on a clear path to finish just over £100 million.

• The Odyssey followed with £2,404,782 from 617 screens, down only 13%. Its seventh week total has reached £79,540,966, making it the 12th highest grossing film of all time behind Star Wars Episode VIII The Last Jedi, and 52nd on the adjusted chart behind Thunderball. Current projections suggest a finish near £90 million, which would place it inside the all time top ten.

• Insidious Out Of The Further posted £1,345,763 in its second frame, falling 39% for a total of £4,902,374. 5th best in the series, and 28th on the yearly list.

• Coyote Vs. Acme opened with £1,077,962 from 554 screens, including £703,257 from 533 previews. It lands as the 38th best opening of the year behind Reminders Of Him, though its staggered rollout makes direct comparisons tricky.

• The Dog Stars debuted with £1,048,212 from 632 screens, including £266,359 from 512 previews. It ranks as the 39th best opening of the year behind Coyote Vs. Acme and stands as the 177th widest release ever.
