‘Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse’ is expected to destroy its predecessor’s opening weekend

Sony is expecting Miles to outdo himself this weekend.

Miles Morales is looking forward to slinging his way to the upper echelons of the box office this weekend. Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse releases on June 2, and it is expected to be one of the biggest summer blockbusters and a major animation feature release of the year.

The film serves as a sequel to Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, the 2018 movie which broke all records and sured all expectations by not just becoming a critical and commercial success, but also nabbing the Best Animated Feature Oscar, breaking Disney/Pixar’s streak of consecutive wins.

Hence, multiverse, unveiling several Spider-Man versions, makes it a substantially colossal project. In short, the film is projected to be a huge box office success.

Variety reports that the film will collect $80 million in its opening weekend across the U.S. and Canada. The figures reflect the exponentially higher anticipation for the sequel compared to its predecessor, which collected $35 Million during its first weekend in 2018. Even adjusted for inflation, Across the Spider-Verse will double the opening weekend numbers of Into The Spider-Verse.

Pre-screenings for critics and test audiences have already responded very positively to the film, which only increases its chances of doing well at the box office. This may not be Sony’s biggest-ever win, however, it is significant for an animated venture. The budget for the film is estimated at $100 million, making it a relatively economical production for recent times. An $80 million gross on opening weekend will immediately put the film in profits by the end of its first week.

Moreover, if Across the Spider-Verse successfully achieves this milestone, it will eventually increase the chances of success for its sequel, Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse, which will release next year. It has been confirmed that Across the Spider-Verse will end on a cliffhanger, so the anticipation for the threequel is sure to be tremendous.
