Hollywood Box Office 2026: Complete Collection List with Verdicts



Hollywood box office collection of all major theatrical releases in 2026. This list is updated on October 10, 2026, and will keep growing as new films open through the rest of the year. Rows are ordered by release date, newest first — every new release gets added at the top rather than the bottom. Movie costs shown below are estimates that combine production spend with marketing and prints and advertising (P&A), and collection figures are worldwide totals reported by trade trackers, presented here in our own words rather than copied from any single source.

As always with box office estimates, exact numbers vary between tracking outlets — treat every figure below as an approximate, reported estimate rather than an audited studio number.

This Week’s Box Office Movers (October 7-10)

Both “Verity” and “Digger” move to clear verdicts just one week after opening. “Verity” grew to $70.2 million worldwide against its lean $40 million budget, comfortably enough to call it a Hit. “Digger” effectively died at the box office in its second weekend, dropping to a fifth-place finish and leaving its total stuck around $8 million domestic against a bloated $225-280 million combined cost — a Flop with no plausible path to recovery. “Resident Evil” continued climbing to $251.6 million worldwide, now running at more than triple its production budget, enough to move it from Too Early to Call to a Hit. One new wide release — Jessica Chastain’s horror film “Other Mommy” — opened this weekend, but with the weekend still in progress as of this update (only pre-weekend tracking estimates available, no confirmed Saturday/Sunday actuals), it’s being watched rather than added; it’ll get a row once a confirmed opening-weekend total is in.

Verity Confirmed a Hit as Digger Confirms a Major Flop

Amazon MGM’s “Verity,” the Colleen Hoover adaptation starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett, opened October 2 to a $62.5 million global debut and has since grown to $70.2 million worldwide ($40.4 million domestic, $29.8 million international) against a lean $40 million budget — already a clean Hit on a single weekend’s receipts alone, let alone a week and a half of release. The same opening weekend delivered one of the year’s starkest contrasts: Tom Cruise’s “Digger,” a satire directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, opened to just $8 million domestically and $20 million worldwide, a fifth-place finish that ranked among the worst openings of Cruise’s career, then fell further out of the conversation in its second weekend. “Digger”‘s budget reportedly grew from $125 million to as much as $180 million during an overrun production, with marketing spend estimated at another $100 million on top — a combined cost of $225-280 million against a total that’s stalled around $20 million worldwide confirms a significant studio loss rather than just an early warning sign.

Spider-Man Becomes the All-Time #1 Domestic Release

“Spider-Man: Brand New Day” has crossed $2.51 billion worldwide ($955 million domestic) and, more remarkably, has now become the highest-grossing domestic release in box office history, surpassing “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” It’s also the fastest film ever to cross $900 million domestic, hitting that mark in just 36 days. The film opened to a reported $360 million domestically and $932 million worldwide, the second-biggest global debut of all time, and crossed $1 billion within about six days before continuing an unusually strong hold through the weeks that followed. Its domestic opening alone beat “Avengers: Endgame”‘s own $357.1 million mark to become the biggest domestic opening weekend in box office history, and this run of records cements it as the defining Hollywood box office story of 2026.

Nolan’s Odyssey Becomes Universal’s Biggest Film Ever

Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” has now passed $1.77 billion worldwide ($621 million domestic) 82 days into release, making it Nolan’s highest-grossing film ever, Universal Pictures’ highest-grossing film of all time, and the highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide, surpassing “Deadpool & Wolverine.” It’s also the first Hollywood film that isn’t a sequel or remake to cross $1 billion at the international box office alone since “Avatar” in 2009. That’s a genuinely rare feat for an original, star-driven event film in an era dominated by franchise sequels, and it puts The Odyssey alongside Spider-Man as one of the two films defining 2026’s theatrical calendar.

Resident Evil Confirmed a Hit Past the $250 Million Mark

Zach Cregger’s “Resident Evil” reboot opened for Sony on September 18 to a franchise-record $60 million domestic weekend ($108.3 million worldwide), including $8.8 million from Thursday preview screenings. Three weeks into release, its cumulative total stands at roughly $251.6 million worldwide ($130.2 million domestic, $121.4 million international), with international markets including China still contributing. The film also holds a 96% score on Rotten Tomatoes, making it Cregger’s best-reviewed film to date and a clear step up from the $43.5 million domestic opening of his previous film, “Weapons.” Against a reported $75-80 million production budget, it’s now running at more than triple its production cost — enough margin, even accounting for an unconfirmed but typically-scaled marketing spend, to call it a Hit rather than wait any longer.

Practical Magic 2 Closes the Books as a Flop

Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman’s “Practical Magic 2” opened September 11 to end Spider-Man: Brand New Day’s six-weekend run atop the domestic chart, but the $30 million domestic debut ($46 million worldwide) landed at the low end of Warner Bros.’ own $30-35 million projection and trails the original 1998 film’s cultural footprint by a wide margin. Its theatrical run has now wound down and the film is heading to digital at a final total of roughly $100 million worldwide ($65.1 million domestic). Against a reported $75 million production budget before marketing is even factored in, multiple outlets flagged the opening as a disappointment for a 28-years-later legacy sequel with two A-list stars, and the final tally confirms that read — a Flop once the full combined production-and-marketing cost is weighed against the finished total.

Toy Story 5 Quietly Crosses $1 Billion

Pixar’s “Toy Story 5” has finished its theatrical run well past where it stood earlier this year, closing at a reported $1.14 billion worldwide — a much stronger final tally than its collection suggested mid-run. Against a combined production and marketing spend estimated around $425 million, that’s a comfortable win, even if the franchise’s built-in audience means it doesn’t carry quite the same surprise factor as this year’s other billion-dollar entries.

Two New Entries: Wuthering Heights and GOAT

Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights,” starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, closed its run at roughly $242 million worldwide against a reported $80 million budget, making it 2026’s fifth highest-grossing film and a clear Blockbuster on a comparatively lean cost. The animated family film “GOAT” posted a smaller but still solid $195 million worldwide against an estimated $85 million budget, landing it firmly in Hit territory. Both titles had been missing from this tracker despite strong theatrical runs, and are added here for the first time.

The Mandalorian and Grogu’s Quiet Disappointment

Despite a final worldwide tally of roughly $346 million, “The Mandalorian and Grogu” is now widely regarded as a box office letdown rather than the reliable win its television pedigree suggested. Its confirmed production budget sits around $165 million, but analysts tracking the film’s marketing spend put its true breakeven point closer to $440 million once P&A is factored in — a bar the film’s final total falls well short of. Multiple trade outlets have since called it Disney’s lowest-grossing live-action “Star Wars” release, a notable reversal from how the film’s opening weeks were initially received.

The Biggest Disappointments

“Supergirl” remains the year’s most talked-about box office miss, reportedly grossing around $126 million worldwide against a combined production and marketing spend believed to run as high as $290 million. The live-action “Moana” remake finished its run at a firmer $315 million worldwide, but that total still falls short of its roughly $380 million in combined costs. “The Dog Stars,” Ridley Scott’s late-August release, cratered even faster — dropping 64-65% in its second weekend on the way to a reported $19 million worldwide against an estimated $80 million budget. “Super Troopers 3” wrapped its theatrical run at a reported $8 million domestic, a soft result for a comedy sequel that never found the audience its predecessors did.

Where the Real Value Has Been

Lower-budget horror and thriller titles have quietly delivered some of the year’s best returns. “Backrooms” closed at a reported $394 million worldwide against just $60 million in costs, while “Obsession” finished even stronger at roughly $510 million against an estimated $75 million — both turning modest production costs into massive worldwide hauls. “Scream 7” belongs in that same conversation once its budget is corrected: multiple sources now confirm the film’s actual production cost was closer to $45 million rather than the $105 million previously estimated, meaning its $214 million worldwide total represents a far stronger return than it first appeared. “Pegasus 3” continued its franchise’s reputation for enormous returns on comparatively lean Chinese studio budgets, and A24’s Anthony Bourdain biopic “Tony” rounds out the list on the specialty side — reportedly made for under $15 million, it’s already crossed that figure domestically while still expanding into new theaters, backed by a 95% Rotten Tomatoes score.

How Verdicts Are Determined

The verdicts above weigh reported worldwide collections against each film’s approximate combined production-and-marketing spend, rather than treating a large opening number alone as proof of success. A film can win its release weekend in raw ticket sales and still be classified as a financial disappointment once its full cost structure is considered — exactly the pattern behind “The Mandalorian and Grogu” this update. Films still early in their theatrical run, like “Coyote vs. Acme,” are verdicted based on trajectory and reported cost recoupment rather than a final tally, and may be revised as more data comes in.

Genre Patterns Worth Noting

A similar divide is visible on the Hollywood side of the ledger. Big-budget event films like “Moana” and “Supergirl” needed enormous collections just to break even given their scale, and even a title with a built-in fanbase like “The Mandalorian and Grogu” wasn’t immune once its full marketing spend is counted. Meanwhile genre pictures like “Backrooms,” “Obsession,” and now “Scream 7” could turn a profit at a fraction of that box office simply because their combined production and marketing spend was so much lower. That gap has become one of the defining financial stories of the year, with several studios reportedly reassessing how much to spend on live-action remakes and franchise spinoffs going forward.

Coyote vs. Acme Closes Its Books as a Hit for Ketchup

Few 2026 releases carry a stranger backstory than “Coyote vs. Acme,” which Warner Bros. originally shelved in 2023 for a tax write-off before Ketchup Entertainment acquired it for $50 million and finally brought it to theaters on August 28. The film ended its theatrical run and moved to digital on September 28, closing at a final $100.2 million worldwide ($58.8 million domestic, $41.4 million international), backed throughout by a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score. That total comfortably clears Ketchup’s $50 million acquisition cost plus a reasonable marketing spend, which is the comparison that actually matters here — Warner Bros.’ original $70 million production budget was already written off in 2023 and isn’t money Ketchup needed to recoup. By that measure, it closes as a genuine Hit rather than the cautionary tale its shelving once suggested it might become.

Three More Titles Close Out Their Runs

This week’s update also finalizes three long-running 2026 releases. “Project Hail Mary” ended its 98-day theatrical run at $684.4 million worldwide ($344.1 million domestic), closing out as 2026’s third-highest-grossing film behind only “Michael” and “The Super Mario Galaxy Movie” — a clean Hit against its roughly $200 million budget. “Hoppers” settled at a final $389.7 million worldwide, a comfortable Hit against its reported $150 million budget. And “Pegasus 3,” the Chinese racing sequel that dominated the Spring Festival window earlier in the year, closes the books at $656.5 million worldwide, remaining one of the year’s biggest Blockbusters relative to its estimated $75 million cost. All three move to “(final)” in the table above.

What to Watch For Next

With “The Odyssey” past $1.69 billion and “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” now inside the all-time top three, and “Practical Magic 2” opening soft enough to end Spider-Man’s weekend streak without looking like a genuine threat to either film’s total, 2026’s second half has delivered two genuinely historic box office runs and not much else close to their scale. Given how top-heavy this year’s wins have already been around these two films plus animation and nostalgia properties, the real question left for the rest of 2026 is whether anything else on the calendar — including the newly-opened “Resident Evil” reboot, off to the strongest start in its franchise’s history — can meaningfully challenge either of them before the year wraps up.

On the specialty side, A24’s Anthony Bourdain biopic “Tony” has become one of the year’s better limited-release success stories, expanding nationwide while holding a Certified Fresh 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and clearing its modest budget domestically.
