‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ Swings Into Third-Best Opening Of The Year

Peter Parker (Tom Holland) is going through superhero growing pains as Spider-Man. If they went ahead with The Amazing Spider-Man 3, the numbers may not have been that high. Combined with the USA and Canada total of 149.2 million US dollars, the worldwide total is 447.6 million U.S.dollars, according to studio figures collected by comScore. “It’s an incredible win for Sony, for our partners at Marvel and Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal, who produced it”.

The film, which stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, was co-produced by Sony and Marvel Studios.

It would also be the second-highest Sony opening in the studio’s history, behind only Spider-Man 3 in 2007, which earned $151.1 million.

Fourth was “Wonder Woman”, at $10.1 million. It should end up being the first Spider-Man movie in a decade to cross $300M domestic. The film has now grossed almost $370 million in North America.

With its opening on July 7, the film earned a total amount of $50.5 million from 4,248 locations at the domestic box office.

The return of a certain Friendly Neighborhood gave the summer box office the shot in the arm it needed and awoke the marketplace from the recent summer doldrums.

By collecting and selling donated goods, Goodwill diverts more than 3 billion pounds of clothing and textiles from landfills each year and repurposes clothing donations to change people’s lives.

“Baby Driver” should sit comfortable in third, as positive word of a mouth is steering to a $12.8 million second weekend, or a 38 percent drop.

In the U.S. alone, Homecoming made $117,000,000 and puts it at the third-highest opening film in the United States, nestled between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 ($146.5 million) and Wonder Woman ($103.2 million). The film has now passed Suicide Squad in terms of worldwide gross and, more impressively, is tracking ahead of what Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was at in the same weekend of its run. Sony Pictures financed the $175 million movie and will keep all of the profits it generates. $140 million may not even be in reach domestically.

“Homecoming” is the only major release this weekend, so the rest of the top five are made up to familiar faces.

Capping off the top 10 is The Beguiled with $2 million.
