For much of the summer, two films have stood above the rest at the box office. Christopher Nolan finally made his Homer epic and turned a 2,700-year-old poem into one of the season’s defining events, while Sony and Marvel brought Tom Holland’s Peter Parker back after a four-year wait and watched audiences turn out in massive numbers. The two releases have spent the past couple of months in a comfortable coexistence, with Spider-Man: Brand New Day dominating the top of the charts and the IMAX exclusivity sitting just behind it.
