SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse swings into the second biggest opening weekend at the 2023 BoxOffice.
There’s no stopping Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse as it swings to greater heights at the domestic box office. The hugely anticipated sequel to 2018’s critical and commercial smash hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is expected to gross $120.5 million in its opening weekend, after making $51 million on Friday. For context, the movie was initially expected to open to around $80 million heading into the weekend.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT This is the sixth-biggest opening for an animated film, and slightly higher than what Disney’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 grossed in its first three days in May. It is also the second-biggest opening of the year, behind Super Mario. In its opening weekend alone, Across the Spider-Verse has nearly quadrupled the domestic debut of Into the Spider-Verse, marking a 241% increase on that film’s $35 million opening.
And this show of confidence appears to be paying off. Across the Spider-Verse is currently sitting at a “fresh” 95% score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, and Collider’s Ross Bonaime wrote that it “isn’t just easily one of the best films of 2023 and one of the best animated films in years, it's also in the running for best superhero film ever.
Franchise Favorites Round Out the Top Five The fourth spot went to Guardians of the Galaxy 3, which added $10.2 million in its fifth weekend, taking its running domestic total to $322 million. The superhero threequel is just days away from passing the first Guardians of the Galaxy’s $333 million lifetime haul, but it probably won’t be able to match Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’s $389 million gross.
