Thwip! Pop culture’s favourite web-slinger returns to movie theaters this weekend, and is looking to right the wrongs of previous films. Will it be an amazing weekend? Here’s our prediction:
Following Tom Holland’s debut as Spider-Man in last year’s Captain America: Civil War, Sony and Marvel Studios bring the character to the Marvel Cinematic Universe for the first time with Spider-Man: Homecoming. Reviews have already been solid for this teen-centered film that supposedly play like a John Hughes movie with super-heroes, and Holland has a lot of good will coming his way thanks to his outstanding debut appearance beside the Avengers. Throw in Robert Downey’s Tony Stark in a supporting role, and Michael Keaton as the Vulture, and you’ve got a guaranteed number one at the box office. Look for Spider-Man: Homecoming to arrive with $120 million.
As for the rest of the top five, Despicable Me 3 will drop to second place with $35 million. Baby Driver will be in third place with $12 million. Wonder Woman will hit fourth place with $9.5 million, while Transformers: The Last Knight will close things out in fifth place with $8 million.
So, to recap, here are our predictions:
1) Spider-Man: Homecoming – $120 million
2) Despicable Me 3 – $35 million
3) Baby Driver – $12 million
4) Wonder Woman – $9.5 million
5) Transformers: The Last Night – $8 million
Be sure to check back on Sunday to see how the weekend turns out!
Great breakdown. I’ve heard the same thing that the movie is part teen drama part superhero but in a good way. Looking forward to this weekend!
