Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios'
Spider-Man: Far From Home is off to an astonishing start at the domestic box office, webbing up a massive six-day opening of $185.1 million, which includes a near-record $93.6 million over the Fourth of July weekend.
The critically acclaimed Jon Watts-directed superhero blockbuster has now amassed over $580 million worldwide ($185.1M domestic; $395M foreign), already making it the sixth-highest grossing movie of the year.
While
Far From Home did manage to secure the biggest six-day July 4th opening of all-time, edging past Sam Raimi's
Spider-Man 2 ($180M
not adjusted for inflation), its opening weekend fell just short of Paramount's
Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($97.8M) to take the record for biggest Independence Day opening weekend ever.
In other news, Marvel's
Avengers: Endgame pulled in another $4.4 million worldwide over the weekend, bringing its global total to $2.772 billion ($847.86M domestic; $1.9246B foreign). The film is now approximately $15.5 million behind James Cameron's
Avatar for the all-time global record. Now, whether or not,
Endgame will be able to secure the record before the end of its initial box office run remains to be seen as the re-release is expected to leave most theaters on July 11th, so Marvel fans may have to literally do whatever it takes over the next few weeks to bring home the gold.
