This summer promises to be a hot one for the box office, seeing some of the biggest and most highly-anticipated upcoming superhero movies: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Flash, and The Blue Beetle. The sequel to the first Miles Morales story kicks the summer off on the first weekend of June, going head to head with a Stephen King short story adaptation, The Boogeyman. But how much can we expect the next Spidey film to make on its opening weekend? Let’s take a look.
The sequel to the 2018 animated hit, Oscar winning Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse, has a lot going for it. The first film was a critical darling, and the early buzz for this sequel is similarly positive. Plus, it’s the first major animated release since April’s smash hit video game movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which means there could be a strong demand for family-friendly content. And based on the film industry magazine BoxOffice Pro’s 3-day opening prediction, everyone’s favorite group of multi-dimensional wall crawlers could bring in anywhere from $85,000,000 to $105,000,000.
