Weekend Estimates Update: |
Sony’s Spider-Man: Homecoming was off to a spectacular start this weekend with an estimated debut of $117.00 M. Spider-Man: Homecoming debuted towards the higher end of its lofty and
wide-ranging expectations. The film delivered the second largest opening weekend ever for both Sony and the Spider-Man franchise, as Spider-Man: Homecoming debuted just ahead of the $114.84 M opening of
2002’s Spider-Man and below the $151.12 M start of 2007’s Spider-Man 3. Spider-Man: Homecoming started out 27.7 percent stronger than the $91.61 M launch of 2014’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, as
bringing Spider-Man into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the addition of Iron Man and strong critical reviews all helped to benefit Spider-Man: Homecoming and renew interest in the franchise. |
Spider-Man: Homecoming registered the third largest opening weekend of 2017 to date. The film opened 13.3 percent ahead of the recent $103.25 M start of Wonder Woman and 20.1 percent
below the recent $146.51 M launch of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Spider-Man: Homecoming also registered the fifth largest debut ever for the month of July and the second largest opening ever over the
post-Independence Day weekend frame (behind only the $135.64 M launch of 2006’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest). |
Spider-Man: Homecoming did display initial front-loading this weekend. The film started out with $50.86 M on Friday (which included an estimated $15.4M from Thursday night shows that began at 7PM),
decreased 27.0 percent on Saturday to take in $37.15 M and is estimated to decline 21.9 percent on Sunday to gross $29.00 M. Spider-Man: Homecoming has gone over very well with critics and online users. The film
currently has a healthy score of 8.701 on our LoveHate Rate aggregate measurement of critical and online ratings, which is the sixth highest rating for any qualifying 2017 release thus far. Spider-Man: Homecoming
also appears to be going over very well with audiences as well, as the film received a strong A rating on CinemaScore. |
Internationally, Spider-Man: Homecoming debuted with $140.0 M from 56 markets. According to Sony the film opened 30% stronger than The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in the same international
markets. The global start for Spider-Man: Homecoming stands at $257.0 M. Key international starts for Spider-Man: Homecoming included $25.8M in Korea, $12.0M in Mexico, $11.8M in the UK, $9.1M in Brazil,
$7.8M in Russia & $7.6M in Australia. |
Universal’s Despicable Me 3 placed in second this weekend with an estimated $34.00 M. Despicable Me 3 declined 53.1 percent from last weekend, which represented a respectable second
weekend hold given the added presence of Spider-Man: Homecoming in the marketplace. In comparison, 2013’s Despicable Me 3 declined 47.4 percent in its second weekend to gross $43.89 M, while 2015’s
Minions fell 57.4 percent to take in $49.27 M. Despicable Me 3 has grossed $149.19 M through ten days. While the film is running below its lofty expectations and 30.9 percent behind the $215.77 M ten-day
take of Minions, Despicable Me 3 continues to perform well with its relatively modest production budget for a computer animated film in mind. |
Despicable Me 3 remained strong internationally this weekend with $139.0 M from 60 territories. That brings the film’s international total to an impressive $298.4M and current worldwide haul
to $447.6M. This weekend’s international performance included debuts of $66.0 M in China, $9.1 M in France and $8.5 M in Germany. |
Sony had more good news this weekend, as Baby Driver held up nicely in its second weekend with an estimated $12.75 M to place in third. Baby Driver slowed just 38.0 percent from its
opening weekend performance. Baby Driver continues to outpace expectations with a twelve-day start of $56.88 M. That already gives the film a current total gross to opening weekend ratio of 2.77 to 1.
Baby Driver is running nearly on par with the $58.08 M twelve-day take of 2013’s This Is the End, which declined a similar 35.9 percent in its second weekend to gross $13.29 M. With the aid of strong critical
reviews and strong word of mouth, Baby Driver is highly likely to continue to hold up well going forward. |
Warner’s Wonder Woman also held up very nicely this weekend with an estimated fourth place take of $10.14 M. Wonder Woman declined just 35.5 percent from last weekend in the face of new
direct competition from Spider-Man: Homecoming this weekend. The feat was similar to last year’s Deadpool declining 38.9 percent in its seventh weekend against the debut of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
With a massive 38-day total of $368.79 M, Wonder Woman has now passed the mentioned Deadpool, as well as last year’s The Jungle Book, 2013’s Despicable Me 3 and last year’s
The Secret Life of Pets to move into 34th place on the all-time unadjusted domestic list. Before long, Wonder Woman will pass by Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
(which has a current total gross of $385.55 M) to become the highest grossing release of this summer. |
Paramount’s Transformers: The Last Knight and Disney’s Cars 3 claimed fifth and sixth place with respective weekend estimates of $6.30 M and $5.64 M. Transformers: The Last Knight
was down a sharp 62.7 percent from last weekend, while Cars 3 was able to stabilize this weekend with a solid decline of 41.8 percent. Respective total grosses stand at a softer than expected $133.73 M in 24 days
for Cars 3 and at an underwhelming $118.92 M 19 days for Transformers: The Last Knight. In comparison to their previous installments, Cars 3 is running 19.1 percent behind the $165.39 M 24-day take of
2011’s Cars 2 and Transformers: The Last Knight is running 44.3 percent behind the $213.44 M 19-day total of 2014’s Transformers: Age of Extinction. |
On the platform front, Lionsgate’s The Big Sick continued to impress with an estimated $3.65 M from 326 locations. That gave The Big Sick a strong per-location average of $11,196 for
the frame and ranked the film in eighth place among all films this weekend. The Big Sick has grossed a promising $6.92 M through 17 days of platform release. The Big Sick is set to expand into wide release
this coming Friday. |
