The new Looney Tunes film “Coyote vs. Acme” earned an estimated $15.5 million in its opening weekend, debuting second at the North American box office. Meanwhile, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” remained the top-grossing film for the fifth weekend, with global earnings reaching around $2.33 billion, highlighting the continued strength of major franchises.

The new Looney Tunes film, “Coyote vs. Acme,” opened at the North American box office with an estimated $15.5 million in ticket sales over the weekend. The movie, produced by Ketchup Entertainment, is a live-action and animation hybrid and debuted in second place behind the continued box office leader.

For the fifth consecutive weekend, “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” maintained its hold on the top spot, grossing an estimated $22.2 million domestically. The superhero film’s global revenue has now reached approximately $2.33 billion, securing its position as the fourth highest-grossing movie worldwide.

Despite the strong debut of “Coyote vs. Acme,” the sustained popularity of “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” underscores the ongoing dominance of franchise films at the box office. The new release’s combination of classic animated characters with live-action elements has drawn moderate interest, but it has yet to challenge the established blockbuster’s earning power.
