Dog Stars vs Spider-Man Box Office Predictions Week 5


As summer winds down, the movie studios are engaging in the usual end-of-season ritual: burning off the titles that didn’t quite hit the mark. In a sad reflection of recent box office performance, a $100 million action flick titled The Dog Stars is now being considered dump-worthy, unlikely to generate any major impact at the theater. While some appreciated the strong performances by stars like Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, and Margaret Qualley, the film seems destined for a disappointing run, even with its beautiful cinematography and an IMAX release.

Amidst this cinematic slump, the competition is heating up, and one title remains firmly at the top of the race: Spider-Man: Brand New Day. It is set to hold onto the leading position in week five, projected to earn a $20 million weekend. This performance positions it as one of the highest-grossing domestic releases of all time, putting it tantalizingly close to matching the legendary $936 million mark set by Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The rest of the summer’s action is being decided in a tight group of high-stakes predictions. The Odyssey is expected to claim a solid second place with an estimated $12 million weekend, marking Nolan’s biggest box office hit to date. Meanwhile, other contenders are battling for the remaining spots.

The race for the mid-range slots is proving particularly competitive. Insidious: Out of the Further is forecast to make $10 million, while the intriguing spectacle of Coyote vs. Acme is vying for the fourth spot, projected to bring in $8 million. Even the action film that is currently facing the toughest critics, The Dog Stars, is predicted to land in fifth place with $7 million.

Here is a look at the full prediction:

  1. Spider-Man: Brand New Day: $20 million
  2. The Odyssey: $12 million
  3. Insidious: Out of the Further: $10 million
  4. Coyote vs. Acme: $8 million
  5. The Dog Stars: $7 million
