Labor Day is notoriously quiet at the box office<\/a>, and it looks like Peter Parker will be swinging into another easy first-place finish. Make it six in a row.<\/p>\n

Spider-Man: Brand New Day<\/a> should win the four-day holiday weekend with around $22 million. That’s six straight weekends at No. 1, which no movie has managed since Avatar: The Way of Water held for seven in 2022. Destin Daniel Cretton’s sequel sits at $896.4 million domestic and will cross $900 million this week \u2014 a feat only Star Wars: The Force Awakens achieved in 2015. Brand New Day is fast approaching that film’s all-time domestic record of $936.66 million, but its streak at No. 1 ends next weekend, when Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman conjure up a new box-office champ with Practical Magic 2.<\/p>\n

\"Wile<\/a> \"A<\/a> <\/p>\n

The Odyssey<\/a> holds on for second with about $15 million in its eighth weekend. Christopher Nolan’s epic fell only 27% last weekend to $14.4 million. At $568 million domestic, it’s about to pass The Super Mario Bros. Movie ($574.9 million) for 18th all time. Universal is keeping it on Imax 70mm screens through September, which is a big reason it keeps refusing to drop.<\/p>\n

Coyote vs. Acme<\/a> lands third with roughly $14 million. Ketchup Entertainment’s rescue of the Looney Tunes movie Warner Bros. shelved opened to $15.9 million, the biggest debut in the distributor’s history, and audiences handed it an “A” CinemaScore. <\/p>\n

Fourth should go to Insidious: Out of the Further<\/a> with about $7 million. The Sony and Blumhouse sequel is at $46 million domestic heading into its third weekend, and its 59% second-weekend drop to $10.2 million was a better hold than either Insidious: Chapter 2 or The Red Door managed.<\/p>\n

Rounding out the top five is Cars<\/a> with around $6 million. Disney and Pixar are re-releasing the 2006 original for its 20th anniversary, and it should draw families over the long weekend now that most of the country is back in school.<\/p>\n

Just outside is Paramount’s By Any Means<\/a> at roughly $5.5 million, with Mark Wahlberg as a mob hitman turned FBI informant and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as the agent working him. A24’s Onslaught, Adam Wingard’s follow-up to The Guest, is looking at about $3 million. Lionsgate’s Fall 2: Deadpoint opened Wednesday, Sony and Crunchyroll have a 4K reissue of Akira, Fathom is running all five Hunger Games movies, and Trafalgar has Katy Perry: The Lifetimes Tour \u2014 Live from Paris.<\/p>\n

Here are Gold Derby’s predicted box-office rankings for the top five over the Sept. 4-7 weekend:<\/p>\n
