Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor’s dinosaur thriller is projected to open second at the North American box office.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is expected to retain the No. 1 position at the domestic box office this weekend, while End of Oak Street is projected to debut in second place.

The Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor-led dinosaur thriller is targeting an estimated $25 million opening from around 3,800 cinemas across North America. The film is the weekend’s biggest new wide release, but early projections indicate that it may not generate enough momentum to overtake Marvel’s latest Spider-Man instalment.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day enters the weekend after another strong performance at the box office. The film has maintained its position at the top despite competition from new releases, with its continued momentum putting it in a strong position to claim another weekend victory.

End of Oak Street targets $25 million opening

End of Oak Street follows a group of rogue dinosaurs and features Hathaway and McGregor in leading roles. Its projected $25 million debut would represent a solid start for the film, although it would leave the movie well behind Spider-Man: Brand New Day if current forecasts hold.

The dinosaur thriller is expected to benefit from being the weekend’s major new wide release, potentially attracting audiences looking for an alternative to Marvel’s superhero spectacle.

However, the film’s performance will ultimately depend on how closely its actual opening matches or exceeds the early projections.

For now, Spider-Man: Brand New Day appears firmly positioned to remain at the top of the domestic box office, while End of Oak Street is expected to settle for second place.

The weekend results will provide a clearer picture of whether the dinosaur thriller can outperform expectations and narrow the gap with Marvel’s latest blockbuster.
