LOS ANGELES, USA — Once again Spider-Man seems to be trapping everything that flies by: Spider-Man: Far From Home took in an impressive $93.6 million in North America over the US holiday weekend and has passed the half-billion-dollar mark worldwide, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations estimated Sunday, July 7.
This latest in the Spider-Man franchise, made by Sony and Disney-owned Marvel, set a record 6-day total for a Tuesday release of $185.1 million, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Its story line follows on blockbuster Avengers: Endgame to focus on how Spider-Man (Tom Holland) and Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) confront a world without Iron Man. Also starring are Zendaya, Jake Gyllenhaal and J.B. Smoove.
Coming in second in its third week out was Disney/Pixar collaboration Toy Story 4, at $34.3 million. The film again features the voices of Tom Hanks as Woody, the eager but empty-holstered cowboy doll, and Tim Allen as space toy Buzz Lightyear.
In third, at $10.8 million, was Universal’s alternate-universe romantic comedy Yesterday. Himesh Patel stars as a struggling musician who, after a mysterious global blackout, is the only person in the world to remember the Beatles and their music — and takes full advantage of it.
Patel does his own singing; Danny Boyle, of Trainspotting and Slumdog Millionaire fame, directs.
Fourth spot went to Warner Bros. horror film Annabelle Comes Home, at $9.8 million.
In fifth was Disney’s live-action remake of Aladdin, taking in $7.6 million in its seventh week out.
Rounding out the weekend’s top 10 were:
- Midsommar ($6.6 million)
- The Secret Life of Pets 2 ($4.8 million)
- Men in Black: International ($3.6 million)
- Avengers: Endgame ($3.1 million)
- Rocketman ($2.8 million)
