Two very different dinosaur movies devoured a modest chunk of the North American box office this weekend, although neither came close to unseating “Spider-Man†from its perch atop the charts, nor managed to steal second place from “The Odyssey.â€
“Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie†and one targeted to very young children and the other an original PG-13 rated action movie, battled for third place in their first weekend in theaters. According to studio estimates on Sunday, the Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor movie had the slight edge, with a projected $21 million to the animated pups’ $20.5 million.
Neither stood a chance for first, however, while continues to cast its sticky web around audiences three weekends into its historic run. The Sony Pictures release added another $70 million from theaters in the U.S. and Canada, bringing its domestic total to a staggering $785.8 million, making it the fourth-biggest domestic release ever. With $118.7 million from overseas markets, it surpassed $2 billion globally, only the eighth movie ever to achieve that landmark (not accounting for inflation) and the second-fastest to do so. “Avengers: Endgame†did it in 11 days in 2019. “Brand New Day†took about 18.
“The Odyssey,†now in its fifth weekend, also managed to stay in second with a $23.2 million weekend that pushed its domestic total to $504.7 million. With $98 million from international showings, propelled by $36.6 million from its first few days playing in China, has now made over $1.2 billion globally.
“The End of Oak Street†came in ahead of expectations with around $21 million from 3,446 locations. It also made $26 million from international screenings, adding up to a $47 million global opening against a reported $80 million production budget.
The film, written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, stars McGregor and Hathaway as suburban parents in 1982 whose neighborhood is mysteriously transported to prehistoric times. It was well-received by critics and currently carries an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, but audiences gave it a less enthusiastic B CinemaScore. According to PostTrak exit polls, just over half the opening weekend audience said they would “definitely recommend†to friends.
Family audiences showed up for “Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie,†which Paramount Pictures released in 3,545 theaters in the U.S. and Canada this weekend. Carrying a PG rating, it’s the third theatrically released Paw Patrol movie since 2021. The opening weekend audience gave it an A CinemaScore. Globally, it has a running total of $69 million.
The Katseye documentary “Katseye: Wild Hearts†rounded out the top five with $4 million from only 724 screens. Several other newcomers also managed to get places in the top 10: “Six: The Musical Live†opened in sixth place with $3 million, followed by “The Brink of War†with $2.7 million. The Tamil-language romance “Vishwanath & Sons†made $1.6 million to take 10th place.
The Matthew McConaughey crime thriller opened outside of the top 10 with just over $1 million from 632 theaters. The young Anthony Bourdain biopic “Tony,†meanwhile, made $706,676 from 37 theaters in its second weekend. The A24 release is expanding in the coming weeks.
The box office is strong with the summer season, now over, accounting for over $4.2 billion in ticket sales — about 5.7% ahead of the pre-pandemic summer of 2019. Paul Dergarabedian, the head of marketplace trends for Rentrak, noted that the number to date is only about $130 million shy of the record 2013 summer, which was led by “Iron Man 3†and “Despicable Me 2.â€
While this summer might not surpass 2013, which ended with just under $4.8 billion, Dergarabedian said, “This is going to be a top five summer of all time.â€
The year overall is just under $6.9 billion.

1. “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,†$70 million.
2. “The Odyssey,†$23.2 million.
3. “The End of Oak Street,†$21 million.
4. “Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie,†$20.5 million.
