Four weekends in, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day still isn't budging from the top of the box office charts, not for a comedy, not for a horror sequel, not even for Jason Statham throwing punches. The web-slinger shrugged off a crowded slate of newcomers to hold onto first place, pulling in another $39 million from just over 4,000 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, according to Associated Press.

Meanwhile, Nolan keeps making history

The Odyssey isn't slowing down either. Christopher Nolan's epic just became his highest-grossing film ever, both at home and abroad, and earlier in the week it dethroned Deadpool & Wolverine as the top-grossing R-rated movie of all time.

This weekend it landed in third with $19.5 million, nudging its domestic total to nearly $539.1 million — enough to slide past "The Dark Knight" as Nolan's previous box office peak (inflation not included). Add in a strong showing overseas, especially in China and Korea, and the film's global total has crossed $1.4 billion.

The runners-up

Sony's Insidious: Out of the Further claimed second place with $25.3 million domestically and another $35 million internationally, a solid showing for the priciest installment yet in the long-running horror franchise.

Further down the list, Jason Statham's wrongly-accused-of-murder thriller Mutiny opened at No. 6 with $7.5 million. Its launch wasn't exactly smooth, the film briefly, accidentally appeared for free on Prime Video days before release, a glitch that combined with lukewarm reviews to dampen its debut.

Spa Weekend, a girls'-trip comedy from the creative teams behind "The Hangover" and "Bad Moms" and starring Isla Fisher, Leslie Mann, Anna Faris and Michelle Buteau, brought in $3.1 million, fared even worse critically, though women made up the vast majority of opening weekend audiences. It tied almost exactly with the 25th-anniversary re-release of the original "The Fast and the Furious."

Andrew Garfield's The Magic Faraway Tree opened just outside the top 10 with $1.4 million, while the Anthony Bourdain drama "Tony" kept chugging along nicely with $5 million in its own theatrical run.
