Drum roll, please.
“Spider Man” is now at $903 million. This feat took 37 days, and the end is not in sight. Even when you think it’s slowing down, the 9th Spider Man movie just keeps going.
The rest of the Labor Day weekend box office is is a bit dreary. “By Any Means” opened to $2.6 million. Cracking $10 million will be its goal. The chief selling point is a good original song by Diane Warren. The song will outlive the movie.
Really dead is “The Dog Stars” with just $11 million. It cost $100 million and isn’t going anywhere except to video. Certainly a disappointment for newish star Jacob Elordi as he builds his career.
A24’s “Tony,” which got top reviews, is stalling out now at around $12 million. If the studio wants awards attention they’re going to have to spend many times that number to get there. Is it worth it? I don’t know. They will go hard on “The Invite,” which is running out at $25 million.
