Today’s the day.
Peter Parker and pals are hitting the $700 million mark this very afternoon and evening with “Spider Man: Brand New Day.” The Tom Holland-Zendaya led comic book film moves to number 8 on the all time list.
Worldwide, the number is up to a shocking $1.7 billion.
Stan Lee is up there in heaven passing out cigars. He could never have imagined his creation going this far
And today is just Day 13. That’s it. This movie will be playing in theaters well past Labor Day. And it’s going into IMAX, where the ticket prices are something twenty five bucks.
At the same time, “The Odyssey” is heading toward $500 million. That’s pretty wild, and Homer — now 3,000 years old — may be taunting Stan if they run into each other. “The Odyssey” also features Holland and Zendaya. Chris Nolan’s epic is heading to massive awards attention.
What’s not happening? “Cookie Queens,” a documentary about Girl Scout cookies, is DOA. Meghan Markle is executive producer with Prince Harry. These two have no idea what they’re doing, do they? They let the documentary be distributed by Roadkill –er, Roadside — Attractions, a company that couldn’t Girl Scout cookies to Girl Scouts. I’m not sure if they even have an agent left in Hollywood who will work with them. It’s pretty clear that Princess Meghan does not take advice from others. That’s the way the cookie crumbles!
By the way, “Cookie Queens” sounds like it’s about drag stars.
