Will SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME be the first billion dollar SPIDER-MAN film?

[TheDarman]

Hey guys! With Avengers: Endgame largely behind us, and Spider-Man: Far From Home's marketing really gearing up, Marvel might have its first billion dollar trifecta. According to Box Office Pro, we are looking at an opening six-day frame of anywhere from $190 million to $230 million. The last Spider-Man movie to open over the extended Fourth of July weekend was The Amazing Spider-Man. With lukewarm reception, The Amazing Spider-Man got $137 million in its first six days. Ironically, these two Spider-Man films both faced a monstrous release only seventeen days after their respective releases. The Amazing Spider-Man went up against The Dark Knight Rises while Spider-Man: Far From Home will be going up against Disney's The Lion King on their respective seventeenth day of release. Assuming similar performance, then, we can expect a domestic finish of anywhere between $363 million and $439 million. Assuming a similar domestic/international split as Spider-Man: Homecoming had, we would get a finish for Spider-Man: Far From Home anywhere between $955 million and $1.15 billion. So, I pose this question to you guys, do you think Spider-Man: Far From Home will step up to be Sony's second billion dollar release? Or do you think it will fall short?

It's possible but iono depends how much of a boost endgame gives it.

[Vakanai]

Depends how good the movie is...but my bet is on the Spider-Verse sequel over the MCU films.

[SpiderClops]

It has a decent shot.

[Kusanagi]

Homecoming made close to 900 million, since then we've had Infinity War and Endgame to boost MCU Spidey's profile, and being the first movie post Endgame it certainly has a chance.

It will probably depend on word of mouth, if it's good it'll be in the 900 million - 1 billion ballpark.

I dont think so...i would like to see it reach that mark, but nah...

Why do you think that?

Into the Spider-Verse didn't do very well at the box office (which is a shame, because it was pretty damn good).

[Arfguy]

I think it will get a huge boost as a result of being the next MCU movie after Endgame, like Iron Man 3 after the first Avengers movie.

I just don't feel like it can hit $1 billion dollars.

IM3 made one billion. I think that will be the case for FFH as well.

It did pretty good. And in my opinion it's so much better than SMHC.

[Wandering_Wand]

I don't see how this movie doesn't make $1 billion. EVERYTHING is lining up for it to.

Its Summer schedule is light on competition for at least 2-3 weeks, right?
It's Spiderman.
It's the first big MCU movie from Endgame.
Every MCU movie has been bringing in more and more money as the brand solidifies further and further after every movie.
It's Spiderman in the middle of Summer!

[Divine Spark]

I’m going to go with yes.

[Comic-Reader Lad]

This is a pretty shitty summer as far as movies go. I even created a thread for it.

However, this month is a bit tough because the Lion King opens up in 2 1/2 weeks, so it will be a case of one Disney movie killing another rather than the usual Disney killing the competition.

If there were no Lion King, I would think that Far From Home could hit the $1 billion mark, but with the Lion King going after much the same audience, I just don't think Spider-Man can make it.

Yeah, but that had the weight of previous Sony movies weighing it down probably. But thanks to positive word of mouth, and it winning an award, I can easily see the sequel doing much better assuming they keep the quality that high going forward.
