2026 Box Office Top 10: The Odyssey Out-Grosses Spider-Man and Cuts the Worldwide Lead to $744 Million

As of the 10:30 a.m. ET cutoff on Monday, Sept. 28, 2026, Spider-Man: Brand New Day leads the 2026 worldwide box office at $2,495,683,000, with The Odyssey second at $1,751,248,000. The same ten films hold the same ten positions they held in the Sept. 21 snapshot, and the race underneath them tightened: The Odyssey added $29,933,000 over the week against Spider-Man's $17,181,000, the second snapshot in a row in which the runner-up out-earned the leader, and the worldwide lead fell from $757,187,000 to $744,435,000. Both snapshots come from the same The Numbers chart of theatrical films released in 2026. 1

Spider-Man's $2.496 billion holds third place on the all-time worldwide chart, behind Avatar at $2,923,710,708 and Avengers: Endgame at $2,885,439,100, and the film needs $4,317,000 more to reach $2.5 billion. The Odyssey's $1,751,248,000 puts it 11th on that chart. Universal, which released The Odyssey, became the first studio to pass $5 billion in worldwide grosses for 2026, counting $1.788 billion domestic and $3.218 billion international on a slate whose other entries in this week's top 10 are The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Minions & Monsters and Focus Features' Obsession. 23

The worldwide rank orders 2026 releases by cumulative worldwide gross. The domestic column gives each film's U.S. and Canada total in the 2026 annual race, and the domestic rank gives its place on that annual chart, which counts the whole year rather than the latest weekend. The Numbers supplies the worldwide totals, the domestic totals, the U.S. release dates and the distributors; Box Office Mojo supplies the domestic rank for Pegasus 3, whose $1,374,946 North American gross sits below the top 100 The Numbers displays. 1456

Box Office Mojo's 2026 annual chart is running behind this week. It still carries $926,770,888 for Spider-Man's domestic total and $80,176,247 for Resident Evil, where The Numbers carries $950,683,000 and $103,476,000, and Box Office Mojo's own all-time chart agrees with The Numbers on Spider-Man. This table keeps each column on one ledger and uses Box Office Mojo for the one rank The Numbers does not show. The Numbers also carries Michael's international total about $7 million below the trades, which leaves its fourth-place figure of $1,021,426,595 if anything understated; The Super Mario Galaxy Movie trails it by $8,382,074. 245

The worldwide order is identical to the Sept. 21 snapshot, position for position, and the domestic annual order held as well. The movement sits in the totals underneath, read on the same The Numbers ledger at both ends. The Odyssey added $29,933,000 across the week, the only film to add eight figures. Spider-Man: Brand New Day added $17,181,000, Minions & Monsters $2,105,226, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie $108,388, The Devil Wears Prada 2 $64,609 and Toy Story 5 $28,994. Michael and Pegasus 3 added nothing worldwide, and Obsession's worldwide total was revised down $44,000 to $516,731,715. 1

Spider-Man's worldwide lead over The Odyssey was $757,187,000 on Sept. 21 and $744,435,000 on Sept. 28, so The Odyssey's larger week trimmed $12,752,000 from the margin between them. The margin has now narrowed at two consecutive snapshots, after widening earlier in the summer. 1

In the U.S. and Canada, two of the ten added gross: The Odyssey $6,764,000 and Spider-Man $6,181,000. The other eight domestic totals match the Sept. 21 snapshot, and the domestic annual order held for nine of the ten. The one domestic rank that moved belongs to Pegasus 3, which fell from No. 165 to No. 170 on Box Office Mojo's chart as later releases passed its $1,374,946 U.S. total. 45

Five 2026 releases sit above $1 billion worldwide, the same five as on Sept. 21:

Michael and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie are the two members closest to the line, at $21,426,595 and $13,044,521 above it. The Devil Wears Prada 2 is the nearest film outside the club at $693,186,343, or $306,813,657 short of $1 billion, and Project Hail Mary follows at $684,478,928, or $315,521,072 short. 14

Two of the ten are still adding meaningful domestic gross. Spider-Man: Brand New Day took $4,100,000 in the Sept. 25–27 weekend from 2,409 theaters, down 36% from the weekend before, for a domestic total of $950,683,000 after 59 days in release. The Odyssey took $3,700,000 from 1,021 theaters, down 25%, for a domestic total of $616,522,000 after 73 days. The same weekend brought Toy Story 5 $25,000 from 50 theaters, and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie added its $108,388 of worldwide gross outside the U.S. and Canada. 47

The Odyssey's $1,134,726,000 outside the U.S. and Canada now stands above Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens's $1,134,647,993, a margin of $78,007, and the film ranks 11th on the all-time worldwide chart. 2

The other eight have largely finished. Minions & Monsters left theaters Sept. 11 with $183,171,260 in the U.S. and Canada, Obsession closed Aug. 14 with $263,451,715, and The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Project Hail Mary closed in July and June. 5

The top 10 sits far beyond this month's new releases. Resident Evil reached $100 million in the U.S. and Canada inside ten days and stands at $103,476,000, 18th on the 2026 domestic chart. The weekend itself belonged to a 2019 film: Avengers: Endgame: Encore, a re-release, opened to $26,000,000 from 3,060 theaters and carried the marketplace to $122.3 million, the second-best late-September frame on Deadline's count. This table covers films released in 2026, so a 2019 title earning in 2026 sits outside it; the lowest place at this table, Obsession's $516,731,715, stands $490,731,715 above that re-release's opening weekend. The domestic market is also closing on $8 billion for the year, which Deadline expects it to cross next weekend. 148
