FRIDAY MIDDAY: Sony Animation’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is poised to post box office numbers like it’s a live-action Marvel superhero movie. After clocking the second-best previews ever for an animated movie, the pic from directors Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson is looking at $40M+ day today (including those previews) and a 3-day that very well could hit $100M at 4,313 theaters.

Rivals bullishly see the opening well into the $110M+ range, but the unpredictable nature with Spider-Verse is how fanboy-loaded it could be with PLF and Imax ticket sales. Even if the animated film settles in the high-$90M range, it’s still a massive success next to the original 2018 movie’s debut, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse at $35.3M.

SATURDAY AM: How big is Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse? With an opening day of $51.7M, it’s the biggest opening day of 2023 to date for a movie. The gross is beating Super Mario Bros.’ Wednesday of $31.7M, and even Disney/Marvel Studio’s opening day for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, which was $48.1M.

Even though rivals believe that the 3-day is north of $125M, there’s still a concern about front-loadedness with fanboys and a greater ease today, which will get Across the Spider-Verse to $113.5M.

SUNDAY AM: When Paramount lost Marvel to Disney, any even distribution of franchises among the major studios was disrupted. However, Sony’s reported $7M acquisition of Marvel’s Spider-Man franchise back in 1998 has continued to immensely pay off, no more evident than this weekend, as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse posted an exceptional and $120.5M opening — one which tracking didn’t see coming, but exhibition did in advance ticket sales– making it the best start for a summer tentpole YTD (beating Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3‘s $118.4M) and the third-best opening for a Spider-Man movie (after No Way Home‘s $260.1M and Spider-Man 3‘s $151.1M). Global start here for Spider-Verse is $208.6M, well above the $150M we forecast, with China delivering $17.3M.
