The number 2 movie at the box office yesterday? “Spider Man.” Yeah, the first one with Tobey Maguire.
What?
Sony is unleashing a marathon of their eight “Spider Man” movies into theaters. Every Monday for the next 7 weeks will bring a new old chapter, from the Maguire films through the Andrew Garfield era, and into Tom Holland.
It’s a good idea. Sony has had a tough time with a big loser like “Madame Web” and a middling hit in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.” The latter still hasn’t hit $100 million.
I’ve joked in this space that all their movies should have a Spider Man connection. So why not just revisit the whole curriculum? I’m surprised the animated films aren’t included.
“Spider Man” made $680,000 last night in just 466 theaters. Stan Lee must be smiling in heaven. People can’t get enough of that damn story!
