Bring me 117 million pictures of Spider-Man
If you have yet to see Spider-Man: Homecoming, or aren’t going to bother at all, just know it’s a big deal for a number of reasons. A result of a big partnership between two studios, it’s yet another reset of the Spider-Man series, and now Spider-Man is a part of the MCU. All of these factors led to the second-biggest box office opening in the franchise, with $117 million over its opening weekend.
What was the biggest opening? Spider-Man 3’s $151 million back in 2007, riding high after Spider-Man 2’s critical success. But the main question I want to ask you all is, what do you think of Spider-Man: Homecoming? Does the second-biggest opening mean it’s second best? Which do you think is the best Spider-Man film?
Here’s how the rest of the domestic box office performances turned out for the July 7 weekend:
