GBP to USD conversion rate: 1.35

Sony’s Spider-Man Brand New Day and Universal’s The Odyssey continued to dominate the box office in the UK and Ireland as both titles passed £60m.

Brand New Day topped the charts in its second weekend with £12m, a 49% drop. The fourth entry in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man run is up to £65m and is already the highest-grossing film of 2026.

The film has also passed the £58m of Deadpool & Wolverine to become the fourth highest-grossing title in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It will likely pass the £70.8m achieved by Avengers: Infinity War within the next week, leaving only Avengers: Endgame (£88.7m) and Spider-Man: No Way Home (£96.4m) in its path.

In second place, The Odyssey dropped just 23% to bring in £5.3m in its fourth session for Universal. Christopher Nolan’s epic sailed past the £60m mark with a £61.5m cume so far, passing Oppenheimer (£59.8m), Dunkirk (£56.8m) and The Dark Knight Rises (£56.5m) to become the director’s highest-grossing film in the territory.

The only new entry in the top five this week was Paramount’s Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie which opened on £1.1m. The animated threequel, based on the popular TV series, follows on from 2023’s The Mighty Movie and 2021’s The Movie, both of which debuted on £1.1m.

Disney’s Toy Story 5 also had a comfortable dip of only 31% in its eighth weekend, adding £728,000 to its sum. The Pixar animation is now up to £54m, surpassing Disney stablemate Frozen II (£53.5m) and will soon overtake the £55m of Super Mario Bros: The Movie.

In fifth place, Universal’s Minions & Monsters also dropped just 31%, bringing in £539,000 on its sixth session.

Ice Cream Man finds little flavour 

André Rieu’s 2026 Summer Concert: Viva Maastricht! opened with £477,000 for Piece Of Magic. That is just below the Dutch violinist’s last event release, Andre Rieu’s 2025 Maastricht Concert: Waltz The Night Away, which grossed £562,000 in its opening weekend.

Disney’s Moana dipped 36% in its sixth week with £464,000 and is just shy of a £12m cume.
