It is now Sony Picture’s highest-ever grossing film, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The latest Marvel blockbuster had the biggest debut weekend of all time at the domestic box office, when it earned $360 million topping Disney’s 2019 “Avengers: Endgame” for the record on a non-adjusted-for-inflation basis. In fourth, “Paw Patrol: The Dino Movie” hoovered up an estimated $20.5 million for Paramount on its debut weekend. “The box office generally slows during the second half of August as kids start returning to school, but right now business remains extremely strong,” said industry analyst David A.
