This gives Far From Home the upper hand to not only surpass the 2017 blockbuster, but break the current July opening record.
If Far From Home nabs those high projections, it can beat out 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 No.
There is one sneaky catch: the sequel opens on Tuesday, July 2.
So these projections are based on a six-day Independence Day weekend, whereas Homecoming opened the Friday after July 4, and ended its first six days with a little over $144 million.
