Obviously can't factor in 3D for the older movies, but a little higher than Spider-Man 1 and way below Spider-Man 3's $155M.

I hope if these new movies keep being good Spider man can return to the glory days of the franchise. Seems like after Spider man 3 and Amazing spider man the franchise lacks a lot of steam. After this one being good hopefully it can get back to $150 million opening weekends

 

[Saturnman]

Despicable Me 3 has already overtaken Cars 3. WW will overtake GotG2. Interesting.

 

[Corpsepyre]

So, Sony and Marvel are splitting bank for this one?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!

ayyy

 

[bananafactory]

For context, the 114m for Raimis first Spider-Man film is about 174m today. Monster opening.

I think many people forget how BIG that movie was. I tried to buy a ticket on a Thursday later in the week and all the showings were still selling out. It was nuts.

I mean really litterally who predicted the second.

Nah, Sony gets it. Marvel has the rights to merchandising so that's where they'll make (a lot of) money.

Sony keeps all the box office receipts (minus licensing fee maybe?) and Marvel keeps all merchandise sales, I think.

Wow good debut for Spider-Man's first movie ever.

Wow good debut for Spider-Man's first movie ever.

I mean the last five spiderman films weren't that bad.

 

[Nev]

I can't stand that stupid-ass Despicable 3 poster.

Wow good debut for Spider-Man's first movie ever.

Yeah Spider-Man 1 really set the bar high with that OW. Not even RDJ could bring it bigger but it's a good start.

 

[NotLiquid]

How does this compare to other Spider-Man movies?

If my numbers are correct,

Spider-Man - $114.8M*
Spider-Man 2 - $88M**
Spider-Man 3 - $151M
TASM - $62M**
TASM2 - $91.6M
Homecoming - $117M

*: You might want to adjust this one for inflation. As mentioned above it'd be $174M.
**: These movies opened earlier in the week. Spider-Man 2's six-day performance was $180M while TASM's six-day performance was $137M.

 

[AndyVirus]

I thought 257m seemed kind of low compared to Guardians 2 (remembering a 300m+ figure) but that was a cumulative total that included the week earlier European release.

EDIT: Mojo has this

 

[ZeroX03]

Worldwide Updates:

Spider-Man Homecoming - $257M
Wonder Woman - $746M
Pirates 5 - $734M
Transformers 5 - $495M
Despicable Me 3 - $448M
The Mummy - $385M

Looks like it's officially overtaken Suicide Squad worldwide, that was $745M. It'll settle between SS and BvS.

 

[jon bones]

so glad Wonder Woman continues to do well

audiences want more great cinematic universe superhero movies & more female directed/led action movies - studios get to work

Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!Come on Spider-Man!

Is $650m still in the cards for TF5? I know it still has a few territories left but damn, less than $500m after 3 weeks.

 

[farisr]

Really happy at Baby Driver's performance.

 

[broncobuster]

Spider-Man 3 being the biggest opening is so damn disappointing. So many people came in expecting so much off the second movie.

Honestly the trailers for SM3 were pretty poor and the attitude among my friends was tepid... but we still all went to see it opening weekend off the strength of Spider-Man 2. Same story with X-Men 3.

I kinda hope Sony tries another spider-man out for their spider-verse movies. I liked Tom Holland, but didn't like the techy, AI partner, iron man style version of his spider-man.

The movie didn't scratch my Spidey itch at all. Even the Amazing movies felt like Spidey. I can't remember, but did we even see him swing across NYC in the movie?

Nah, Sony gets it. Marvel has the rights to merchandising so that's where they'll make (a lot of) money.

I thought Sony never had the toys/merchandise rights for Spider-Man and Marvel always had it, did they get nothing new from this deal?

Spidy 3 had black suit Spider-man, who knew at the time it would be handled so awfully.

Fun fact, X-Men 3 is the only superhero film ever to open above $100m but finish below $250m. Man of Steel is the only other one to finish below $300m.

 

[jon bones]

that's correct - Marvel gets nothing from the deal outside of Spidey's inclusion in 3 MCU films (CW,IW,A4)

they make the Homecoming movies for free, get no revenue from them & they also lose 1/3 of their yearly slate production for 2 or 3 years (depending on if the rumored Homecoming 3 is real) by replacing a Marvel Studios film w/ a Sony one

Feige you animal

Marvel get to use Spiderman for their civil war and avengers. Thats it.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I believe they did at one point, at least for the movie merch. There was a deal a while back that was something like allowing Sony to make more movies but Marvel gets the merch rights.

Yeah this

was pretty hype.

Sorry Transformers fans. Go back to reading your IDW comics and crying and shit.

I'm really pleasantly surprised by Baby Driver's modest drop. Happy to see Edgar Wright finally have a hit on his hands.

Chances of Wonder Woman beating Suicide Squad's worldwide numbers?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

What? Ironman + Spider-Man couldn't make $200million opening weekend? FLOP!

 

[Night Hunter]

How much more is this compared to Amazing Shit-Man 1 & 2?
And what are the ww expectations now?
And is 117$ much?

Just as a comparison, the first Spider-Man had a 113 Million OW

Yay Spidey is officially back!

Just like with the cartoons what we need now is a Beast Wars movie to save the franchise.

And to think everyone thought Sony were mad for moving Baby Driver forward.

I fear Homecoming's box office is going to suffer which is a shame because it's a great film.

 

[Chamber]

lmfao I wouldn't even bank on it getting $600

From $1.1b and the #1 movie in the world in 2014 to ~$600m and outside the top 10 in 2017.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I wanna personally congratulate Homecoming for being the

greatest Spider-Man movie!

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Never.

Holy shit! I hope WB is learning a lot from this movie. Who would've thought a solo WW film would trump Superman and Suicide Squad worldwide and domestically the first live action Superman v Batman film ever? Jesus

 

[Mortimer Brewster]

Nothing New with the DM3 thing. Illumination has been drinking Pixars milkshake for several years in a row. They might need to consider cutting their budgets because even with sequel bloat, Illumunation is keeping the budget in check and making gobs of money again.

 

[kswiston]

Mojo's adjusted numbers aren't comparable between pre-3D and post-3D openings.

IMAX and PLF surpluses only factor into the first 1-3 weeks of a run for a big film. 3D shares tend to be negligible outside of blockbusters, and decrease over the course of a run. As such, big films have higher average ticket prices than mojo suggests.

Older films also lacked all of these surplus charges. Therefore, adjusted openings on Mojo for all blockbuster films prior to 3D are underestimated.

Spider-Man 1 would have opened around $200M by today's standards if we make the (incorrect) assumption that its venue count would have been the same as 2002, and if would have largely missed a Thursday/Midnight preview.

A 2017 film with the same momentum as Spider-Man 1 would have probably been in the $215-230M range.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

WW has practically surpassed Xmen days of Future Past worldwide. Chances of it beating Deadpool's worldwide numbers?

 

[SuperLeviathan]

Captain Underpants had like no legs at all. I'm really upset by that.

It was obviously a casualty of Dreamworks' sale to Comcast, but damn.
