Filed Under: Far From Home

Spider-Man: Far From Home swings into theaters on Tuesday and things are looks good for the wall-crawler. After debuting in China this past week, the sequel is already taking aim at an estimated $110 million debut in the Middle Kingdom and it should continue playing well there next weekend thanks to the recent delay of locally produced movie The Eight Hundred.

Now, analysts believe that by July 7th, the sequel will have scooped up at least $335 million overseas and anywhere from $460 million - $500 million after ten days of release.

That puts Spider-Man: Far From Home on track to be the first $1 billion grossing Spider-Man movie.

In North America. the movie is skipping Monday night preview screenings for a cold opening on Tuesday morning and Sony Pictures is projecting a $125 million debut, while other trackers are confident it will make upwards of $140 million over those first six days. With strong ticket pre-sales and positive buzz on social media, there's no reason the sequel won't exceed expectations.

How much do you think Spider-Man: Far From Home will earn at the box office over the next week?

Hit the "View List" button for a spoiler-free breakdown of everything
that does and doesn't work in Spider-Man: Far From Home!

Did Work: More Than A Friendly Neighbourhood Superhero

Spider-Man: Homecoming made it clear that Peter Parker wasn't exactly ready to be a full-fledged superhero, hence why we watched him come to terms with an apparent fear of heights and make some big mistakes.

Well, after heading into outer space to battle Thanos, this Spider-Man is a lot more confident and doesn't shy away from taking action. He's definitely still learning on the job, but the wall-crawler is doing more than hanging around Queens and is clearly ready to step up in Iron Man's absence.

Much to the delight of many fans, this includes swinging between skyscrapers in the Big Apple!

Did Work: MJ

At the end of Homecoming, we learned that Michelle likes to be known as "MJ" to her friends and it was a moment which felt more than a bit forced, hence why fans seemed to reject the character.

Well, while she may not be the Mary Jane Watson from the comics, MJ is definitely redeemed in Spider-Man: Far From Home and quite possibly the web-slinger's best love interest to date. Smart, funny, and fun to watch, Zendaya steals the show here and you will definitely fall in love with both her and the budding romance between MJ and Peter Parker.

Didn't Work: The Second Post-Credits Scene

Don't worry, we're not getting into spoilers! While I'm sure a lot of fans will love this, I personally found that it devalued a lot of what we saw earlier in the movie and, in many ways, it feels like a leftover from another Marvel Studios release.

I may be making it sound worse than it is, though, because it's played for laughs and legitimately funny.

However, I wasn't a fan and think it would have been better to leave us with just the mid-credits scene, as that's bound to have a far more memorable and lasting impact on moviegoers.

Did Work: The First Post-Credits Scene

This really is something else because it's not only a game-changer, but possibly one of the best post-credits scenes Marvel Studios has delivered over the past decade.

Without getting into specifics, you can expect this to not only shake up the status quo of Spider-Man, but the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sure, that sounds like hyperbole, but this ballsy decision is going to leave fans talking for a very, very long time to come.

After this, the sequel really can't get here soon enough. Roll on 2021!

Didn't Work: What About The Sinister Six?

As I noted in my interview with Spider-Man: Far From Home director Jon Watts, the Sinister Six (and Norman Osborn) do not appear in the sequel despite rumours claiming otherwise. That means cameos from familiar faces you're expecting to see may not actually happen, and there's really no indication here that Marvel Studios is planning to pit Spidey against that team of villains.

Needless to say, that's going to disappoint a lot of comic book fans, and while it could still happen somewhere down the line, it doesn't appear as if it's a priority for the time being.

Personally, I wouldn't get your hopes up about Spider-Man battling the Sinister Six until at least a fourth or fifth movie. Then again, perhaps they'll hold off until the sixth chapter!

Did Work: The New Costumes

In the previous Spider-Man movies, Peter Parker mostly donned the same costume with some minor cosmetic changes from adventure to adventure. Well, he gets two brand new suits in Far From Home and they're both spectacular.

The Stealth costume is functional in terms of design but also looks very cool in action, and is used in a clever way to hide the wall-crawler's secret identity when he's battling the Elementals overseas. As for the new "Upgraded" suit, that really does result in the best looking Spider-Man on screen to date and I hope that red and black colour scheme sticks around for a long time to come.

Did Work: The Elementals

I've seen some reviews take aim at the CG Elementals and while they may not have personalities, they're definitely more than just forgettable monsters used as an excuse for some big action scenes.

While it's true that they do fill that role in Spider-Man: Far From Home, they're an interesting addition to the proceedings and definitely visually unique enough that you'll enjoy watching them.

Ultimately, they serve a purpose and are by no means any sort of weak link here.

Did Work: Mysterio Unleashed

I can't say too much here for fear of spoilers, but rest assured that we do get a proper display of Mysterio's powers in Spider-Man: Far From Home and they do not disappoint. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb by pointing out that this is actually one of the best sequences ever seen in the MCU.

That may sound like a stretch (especially after that scene with Captain America and Mjolnir), but just wait until you see it because it's one of those moments that will leave your jaws on the floor.

Didn't Work: Time To Move On From High School?

It's fun spending time with Peter Parker's classmates, especially when they're such a likeable bunch. However, an argument could be made that they receive a little too much screentime and it would be no bad thing for Spider-Man to now graduate from high school.

We've spent a lot of time there both in this franchise and the previous movies, moving him into college or even just the real world would be a nice change of pace and not something that would necessarily mean we'd have to say goodbye to the likes of Ned and Betty. They could also take on different roles, and possibly head down similar routes to their comic book counterparts.

This really isn't a big deal because the scenes with these kids are great fun, but it might be worth considering as I do think seeing Spidey swinging out of high school will lead to better stories.

Did Work: Tom Holland IS Spider-Man

Spider-Man: Far From Home's entire cast is excellent, but if you had any doubts about Tom Holland as Peter Parker, prepare to have them completely wiped away by this spectacular sequel.

Whether it's the typical Parker Luck or the inclusion of a certain superpower, this feels like the definitive Spider-Man, and Holland really has grown into the role and is now full inhabiting the character. Needless to say, that should make fans of the comics very happy.

I just can't wait to see where both Holland and Jon Watts take the wall-crawler next.

I've spoiled myself on the movie's plot, which only makes me want to watch it unfold even more. Ane I've watched the credit scenes by way of YouTube, and that first one is just fan service as good as one could hope for (while also leaving a holy f*ck of a cliffhanger of sorts for what's to come next).

Scarilian - 6/30/2019, 1:53 AM

@MosquitoFarmer -
"(while also leaving a holy f*ck of a cliffhanger of sorts for what's to come next)"

Not really...

Homecoming had a similar idea, teasing something interesting that would have consequences, and that amounted to nothing.

Honestly the reveal is pretty weightless considering that the aspect of the MCU it focuses on has never been important and was never built up to be important, even for Spider-man who that aspect is normally a major focus of.

Scarilian - 6/30/2019, 2:02 AM

Thinking about it slightly more, i hate the direction they are taking it if the cliffhanger is followed up. It's easily the worst thing they could do with the character as it destroys a lot of potential storylines, makes him like every other hero and pretty much means he only has one path remaining.

I see no path to go now for MCU Spider-man other than killing him off.

TheCoonII - 6/30/2019, 2:02 AM

For a SIX day opening 125-140 would be kinda low would be great for a 3 day but a 6 day should be about 175

DoubleD - 6/30/2019, 4:39 AM

DoubleD called it last week. Spider-Man Far From Home would be a Monster at the box office. Everyone called me nuts.

Spider-Man and DoubleD WIN.

Haters LOSE again.

KWilly - 6/30/2019, 5:23 AM

I'd be shocked if this movie didn't reach a billion and some change at the box office.

Frshcoupe - 6/30/2019, 5:34 AM

I managed to avoid spoilers but I think one of Josh’s stupid articles spoiled it for me. Not that I clicked on the article but it was definitely in the headline.

Anyway, I’m so damn excited...I’ve been watching Homecoming like a mad man it’s actually my favorite spidey movie. I’ll be grabbing tickets for tomorrow night at midnight.

It was obvious that it would cross a billion...it’s the Endgame wave it’s riding.

Typobutcorrect - 6/30/2019, 5:45 AM

Saw it last Wednesday...

Oh, it's good...really good.

IKidYouNotMan - 6/30/2019, 5:51 AM

$500 million you say?

DoubleD - 6/30/2019, 6:38 AM

@IKidYouNotMan - Over 500 now 600 is a very real number.
