Marvel’s latest flick could be the top-grossing ‘Spider-Man’ movie of all time --- and the biggest movie opening of the pandemic, analysts say
Opening weekend projections for “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which swings into U.S. theaters on Friday, are in the lofty $130 million to $200 million range based on ticket presales, social media buzz and early glowing reviews.
It’s a Marvel movie. Enough said. The MCU was box office gold before the pandemic, with 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” smashing box office records with a $1.2 billion opening weekend worldwide, including some $350 million in ticket sales domestically. It’s the conclusion of a trilogy with pent-up demand. MCU “Spider-Man” fans have been climbing the walls to see what happens to Peter Parker and his super alter-ego since the cliffhanger ending of “Spider-Man: Far From Home” in summer 2019. And this third film is expected to complete a story arc for Holland’s leading man and his best friend Ned and love interest MJ that began with “Spider-Man: Homecoming” in 2017.
“This is arguably the biggest event movie that’s come out in over two years, since before the pandemic,” said Robbins. “When the first trailer was released, it ignited a big wave of social media buzz and kick-started curiosity about where the franchise is going. And it’s very clear the multiverse is opening up, which is something Marvel has been teasing.”
