The U.K. may have just had the hottest August since records began but, in more positive news, it also had the hottest August at the box office in almost a decade.

Thanks to the incredible performances of both “Spider-Man: Brand New Day” and “The Odyssey” a total of $161.3 million was earned at the box office that month, according to new figures from Rentrak, the highest since 2018’s record-breaking August with $201.7 million.
