I fear we've all fallen victim to some kind of reverse Doctor Strange spell, because looking at this weekend’s Box Office numbers, our memories appear to have been erased of everyone except Peter Parker. To say Spider-Man: Brand New Day dominated ticket sales is quite the understatement, as the new MCU movie soared past expectations to earn $355 million in its first three days — the second biggest opening weekend in history. And, it’s already approaching $1 billion worldwide.
We’ve got to break down these Marvel-ous numbers, but I also want to talk about The Odyssey, which held its own after three cycles, especially considering the competition. (Maybe Spidey fans did end up doing a Barbenheimer-esque double feature!)
