SATURDAY AM: This weekend, it’s a game of Marvel trying to beat Marvel at the weekend box office. Spider-Man: Brand New Day continued to post an all-time record opening day/previews yesterday with $168M, feasibly outstripping the previous first day record owned by Avengers: Endgame ($157.4M). Still, there’s isn’t a unison out there that Brand New Day will take down Avengers: Endgame‘s all-time opening record of $357.1M. Some believe it boils down to Sunday where a $5M swing is possible. Sony is calling their 3-day weekend at $325M, which is a wonderful second-best ever start in North America, but others think the opening here is closer to $350M+.

If Brand New Day gets above $105M today, then it has a better shot of beating Avengers: Endgame‘s start. Brand New Day came close to having a better pure Friday than Avengers: Endgame after you back out previews, $96M to $97.4M. Avengers: Endgame went on to do $109.2M on its Saturday which was +12% from its pure Friday. That Russo Brothers directed movie eased -17% on Sunday and the thinking is that Brand New Day is down between -10% to -15% on Sunday from Saturday.

They're calling it the JK Simmons effect. The people yearn for his JJ once again.

In all seriousness, the spiderman movies have been fairly consistently decent slop. The previous one was a little too up spiderman movie meta bullshit, but still managed to setup a world where spiderman isn't already friendly with every major super hero on the planet. We'll see how long that lasts. I'm cautiously optimistic for this.

I'm still not paying money for Disney crap though, waiting for the stream to pirate-jammin

If the last movie was the one with all three spider-men then boooooo, it was awesome!

Spider-man has always had multiverse stories, and this was a super awesome way to canonize all the previous movies

I liked seeing Toby and Garfield spidermen, it's funny to see that stuff, but it's hard to really take any fight seriously when 3 spidermen are on screen and two of them are disposable. Willem Defoe back as the gobin was excellent though. Raimi really did some excellent casting for his villains.

And they finally realised that Willem Dafoe does not need a scary facemask.

Shame they didn't have much time for the others to do more than Say The Line, but it was pretty crowded. Electro got his very sympathetic character basically ignored... rather like in his actual film.

there's a, i assume, cam already.

Probably, but I can wait for a non cam version, I'm not that badly in need of some slop.
