Summary
$90 million put Universal’s The Odyssey even higher than Sunday estimates, tying Top Gun: Maverick for the 12th-biggest second weekend ever and lifting its domestic total to $289.3 million.
A stronger-than-expected $29.78 million Sunday—down just 14% from Saturday—helped drive that finish, with Imax and other premium formats still supplying an outsized share and keeping those screens despite Spider-Man: Brand New Day looming.
$10.243 million gave Hadestown the biggest opening ever for a Broadway stage-capture film, topping Hamilton’s $10.1 million, and set a new Bleecker Street opening record.
That revised Hadestown total pushed it to No. 3 for the weekend ahead of Toy Story 5, as exhibitors reported repeat viewings and Bleecker Street expanded bookings beyond the title’s initial limited-event plan.
$148.2 million for the overall weekend was down 20% from a year earlier, but 2026 North American box office has reached $5.7 billion through July 26, up 10% year over year.
