“Spider Man: Brand New Day” opened one week ago today.
Remember those days? “The Odyssey” was what everyone was talking about.
So much has changed!
Today, “Spider Man” will cross the $500 million mark. Yes, I am telling the truth. While wars rage, Donald Trump has a new toupee, the Yankees cannot win two games in a row, “Spider Man” has just plowed ahead as if nothing else mattered.
So where do we go from here? Hasn’t everyone seen this movie by now?
Maybe not. By Monday, it will most certainly be at $600 or $700 million, Maybe more! Who knows!
Remember, it’s just one week. “Spider Man” has weeks to go!
Meantime, after I pointed out that Steve Lacy’s end credit song “Oh Yeah” was not on the charts at all, it’s finally arrived at number 35 on iTunes. The song has just under 10 million streams on Spotify. Not a blockbuster, but coming along…And yes, it does sound a lot like Gary Numan’s “Are Friends Electric?”
And what about “The Odyssey”? It’s not chopped liver. They’re at $422 million as of today, so $500 million isn’t far off. The day to day drop is almost nothing. Homer, you know, wasn’t horsing around!
