In addition to the great reviews and word of mouth, Homecoming is benefitting heavily from its involvement in the MCU.
Early reviews and word of mouth seem to be fueling these positive projections and it’s looking like Homecoming will eclipse the Amazing Spider-Man movies that opened with $62 million and $91.6 million respectively.
MCU’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is still the top grossing movie of the summer, currently sitting at $383.4 million domestically and Sony and MCU are looking at another hit on their hands with Spider-Man: Homecoming.
Early domestic box office projections have Spider-Man netting over $1 million for the movie’s opening weekend.
