Two very different dinosaur movies devoured a modest chunk of the North American box office this weekend, though neither came close to unseating Spider-Man from its perch atop the charts, nor managed to steal second place from The Odyssey. Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie and The End of Oak Street, one targeted to young children and the other an original PG-13 action movie, battled for third place in their first weekend in theaters. According to studio estimates on Sunday, the AP reports, the Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor movie had the slight edge, with a projected $21 million to the animated pups' $20.5 million.

Three weekends into its historic run, Spider-Man: Brand New Day added $70 million from theaters in the US 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). The Odyssey, now in its fifth weekend, stayed 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, Christopher Nolan's epic has now made over $1.2 billion globally.

With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at US and Canadian theaters, according to Rentrak:

  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.
  5. Katseye: Wild Hearts, $4 million.
  6. Six: The Musical Live, $3 million.
  7. The Brink of War, $2.7 million.
  8. Toy Story 5, $2.3 million.
  9. One Night Only, $2 million.
  10. Vishwanath & Sons, $1.6 million.
