It's a great hold. Should be able to hit 10M weekend!!! Locks it passing GOTG2 and still alive for SM1, potentially CW & IM3.

 Thanks!

Terrific for Spidey. With the $50.5 million estimate, it is nearly identical to Guardians (which opened in August) in terms of share from previews. It's nice to have a big comic book film opener in July (so few it seems; MCU loves opening their films in May or other times of the year), especially for historical comparison.

 

I'm expecting a terrific $125-130 million weekend based on this.

So Homecoming OD > Venom OW anyone?

Incredible number. 

 

And shoutout to Deadline for ending up just over $8 million off your initial projection. Stellar work.

A tleast your looks like it is planned out pretty well.

 

Mine was so half-assed and we ended up eloping so everything became so wild. It pissed off both of our parents to no end which I enjoyed though. 

 

 

Ive been planning it out for sometime which is why I had a mini meltdown when I booked the wrong hotel 

 

But look at you now. Happily married and making all the money. And yet when you were younger you were such a wild child.....although based on some of your posts, I suspect somethings never changed 

[Cochofles]

It would be incredible if not one but two  superhero films surpassed GOTG's multiplier the same summer!!! What are Spider-Man: Homecoming 's chances to go the distance?

One of these things is not like the other.

He is bad at directing hand to hand combat. Other than that he is great and innovative in his action beats. Inception rotating hallway fight trumps every cbm action scene.

We are so spoiled with our comic book films that we can make a ranking of the best comic book films to come out in a given year. 

 

And the year isn't even over yet!

@Nova Best of luck! 

 

Remember DHD's original 42M OD projection for SMH? 

 

 

Hey they were only off by 10 m for a single day. 

[grim22]

Looks like Pirates and Guardians were affected by SMH, they had their lowest Friday increases to date. TF5 pretty much got killed

Unless it gets Fant4stic level reviews that shouldn't happen. Thinking $45M/$110M.

Just remember they were off by $5.4M for a preview night 

 

But like I said yesterday, I will always appreciate early numbers because it gives us something to talk about, but for big movies like SMH I always take them with a grain of salt.

Great for Spidey! Should be headed to $125M+.
