'Spider-Man: Far From Home' marks stellar start by delivering an estimated $185 million debut for its first six days in theaters
"Spider-Man: Far From Home" delivers a $185 million debut from 4,636 venues during its first six days in theaters.
But even your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man isn't immune to a little sequel slump. "Spider-Man: Far From Home" got a head start by opening on the Tuesday ahead of Independence Day, but it collected $93 million over the traditional three-day weekend. That's a stellar start to be sure, but a drop from the $117 million debut of its predecessor, 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming." However, the July 4th weekend isn't a traditionally busy time for moviegoing.
Boosted by solid reviews, "Spider-Man: Far From Home" also benefited as the must-see followup to the epic finale that was "Avengers: Endgame." Younger males accounted for most of opening weekend audiences. Boys and men comprising 60% of crowds, while 58% of ticket buyers were under the age of 25. While in line with studio projections, "Midsommar's" debut is roughly half of what Aster's first film "Hereditary" made in its inaugural weekend. "Hereditary" launched with $13 million last June and is still A24's highest-grossing movie to date with $44 million in North America and $79 million globally.
