Box Office: 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Crosses $1B in a Franchise First
JULY 25, 2019 10:13AM by Pamela McClintock
Sony has gained entry to the billion-dollar club only one other time, with 'Skyfall.'
Sony and Marvel Studios' Spider-Man: Far From Home has swung past the $1 billion mark at the worldwide box office, becoming the first installment in the franchise to do so, not adjusted for inflation.
Further, it's only the second Sony movie to become a member of the billion-dollar club behind 2012 James Bond entry Skyfall ($1.1 billion), made in partnership with MGM. And Sony becomes the first studio besides Disney to boast the milestone since Universal's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom earned $1.3 billion a year ago.
The summer tentpole accomplished the feat Thursday. Its domestic tally through the day is a projected $333 million, while it has grossed $672 million overseas for a total $1.005 billion.
Spider-Man: Far From Home, starring Tom Holland as the web-slinging hero, is the eighth live-action pic in Sony's Spidey series and was produced by Marvel chief Kevin Feige and Amy Pascal. It's a sequel to Spider-Man: Homecoming, which revived the franchise in 2017 and was the previous biggest Spidey pic ($880 million), unadjusted.
Far From Home is the 40th movie to cross $1 billion and the third release of 2019 to do so far behind Avengers: Endgame ($2.79 billion) and Captain Marvel ($1.13 billion), both from Disney and Marvel.
In recent days, Endgame surpassed Avatar to become the top-grossing title of all time globally, while fellow Disney release Aladdin is only a day or two away from clearing $1 billion globally.
Endgame provided an added boost for both Captain Marvel and Far From Home, as both of their stars appeared in the blockbuster.
Directed by Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, Far From Home picks up after the events of Endgame, as Tom Holland's Peter Parker (aka Spider-Man) and Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury adjust to a world without Iron Man and other key Avengers to defend it.
Spidey beat out Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ($963 million) to become Sony's second-highest grossing title of all time.
After North America, China is the top-grossing market ($204 million), followed by South Korea ($56 million), U.K. ($36 million), Mexico ($30 million), Japan ($26 million), Brazil ($25 million), Australia ($24 million), Russia ($20 million) and France ($20 million), among other territories.

Well, whether or not it is true that the film had to hit a billion for Marvel to be able to continue to let Spider-Man cross-over into their MCU universe of films it is all academic now as that magic number has been achieved.

And it has even more room to run, with a re-release with a new added action sequence still to come.

Yup... probably the missing errand montage from early in the movie.

Not going back for this... I'll wait for the digital/blu release.

There's a local Second-Run Theater that is surprisingly screening the Extended Cut.
Works for me, since it's only $3.75 for a ticket! Hoping to see this soon.

Maybe Sony and Disney can trade Star Wars for Spider-Man. A win win, as Sony couldn't fuck up Star Wars any worse than Disney has, as we get good Spider-Man movies again.
They can keep Venom.

Saw the Extended Cut earlier today.
The 4-minutes were enjoyable but I can see why they were cut out. Not really necessary.
I was happy that the listing at the Second-Run Theater I saw wasn't an error. Being able to see this for $3.75 was the right price point.
