JULY 4TH EVENING UPDATE:
Sony’s
Spider-Man: Far From Home had an excellent July 4th, making an estimated
$25.1M, dipping 7% from yesterday. Through 3-days, the Jon Watts-directed sequel counts $91.35M.
Far From Home‘s gross today is arguably the second best Independence Day at the B.O. after
Transformers‘ $29M in 2007. The 3rd, 4th and 5th best July 4th single day grosses belong to
Despicable Me 2 ($24.5M),
Amazing Spider-Man ($23.3M) and
Spider-Man 2 ($21.9M). By sunrise tomorrow, this number could be higher as overnight grosses come trickle into ComScore. Should
Far From Home emulate the post July 4th Friday-Saturday-Sunday percentile trajectory of
Despicable Me 2 or
Amazing Spider-Man, the 6-day gross could reach between
$170M-$190M. Even if the pic lands between $150M-$160M, it’s still a great shot in the arm for the summer box office, and believe me, exhibition isn’t crying one bit. For certain,
Far From Home should easily clear $125M by tomorrow or Saturday.
