This is the second largest opening for a Spider-Man feature, just narrowly pushing past the 2002 original directed by Sam Raimi. This gives Spider-Man: Homecoming the second largest opening of the year (so far), between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol....[Read More]

Box Office Weekend: Eight Figure Box Office for Magnificent Seven
The Magnificent Seven opened the final weekend of September with an estimated $35 million in domestic box office earnings…and while its $90 million costs may be tough to top (even with foreign box office adding to the totals), it was still enough to hold back the debut of Storks, which brought in an estimated $21.8 million against $70 million in costs. Both films pushed the previous champ Su...[Read More]
