The new ‘Spider-Man’ film went gangbusters at the field workplace this weekend — hauling in a bundle … and proving that having 2 studio mother and father for this IP may really be greatest.
Of course, we’re speaking about “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” … which took the high spot by a mile over the previous three days — with a remaining tally of about $120.5 million in ticket gross sales domestically. That’s the 2nd greatest field workplace of 2023 … behind ‘Super Mario Bros.’
It’s simply the money-maker of the summer time to this point … and the excellent news is that it exceeded expectations by a ton. ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ was projected to herald simply $80M-$90M … nevertheless it blew properly previous that, and lands as one in every of the best-performing ‘Spider-Man’ flicks ever.
Not simply that, however the critiques are off the charts … with many calling it the greatest ‘Spider-Man’ installment and ‘Spider-Man’ story instructed in fashionable instances. So, what can we make of all this???
There’s a pair takeaways — which Twitter appears to considerably agree with — and the first is … Sony holding on to a few of the ‘Spider-Man’ rights over the years has, maybe, turned out to be for the greatest. Clearly, they companion with Marvel for all issues Spidey … however many say they’ve stored the character/IP grounded, regardless of Disney’s overly-grand CBM aspirations.
The different fascinating component right here is that Sony/Disney has been capable of obtain true range in a personality that has lengthy been thought-about a typical white male in Peter Parker.
With the Miles Morales character — who’s Black/Puerto Rican — there is a new face to Spider-Man (to not point out all the different Spider-Men in the film) … and there was little to no outrage over it. Of course, quite a lot of which may should do with the undeniable fact that Miles and co. are comedian canon … so shout out to the writers who created these characters a very long time in the past!
It’s attention-grabbing … there’ve been a variety of actors who’ve performed Spider-Man (each live-action and animated) over the years — however Tom Holland says Shameik Moore‘s Morales may, the truth is, be the greatest out of all of them. He stated as a lot anyway in a latest interview.
