As I said last week, what is there to even say? Brand New Day is bringing in the spider-cash on a frankly inconceivable level. How the fuck has this already brought in SEVEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS?!?! And that ain’t even taking into account how its webbed up $2 billion globally. How is this even happening?! I was promised by very reliable YouTubers that YouTubers had taken over Hollywood and that Hollywood was dead! Are you saying those YouTubers might’ve been a bit, I dunno, bias when they said that?
So let’s address the big spider-question: can Brand New Day become our brand new all-time box office champion? Yes. And no. Yes, it has a very good chance of overtaking the final domestic total of The Force Awakens (granted, that’s not accounting for so-called “inflation” as you might actually be shocked by how much movie ticket prices have gone up over the past decade). Do I think it will topple Avatar for the grand global grand prize? I might end up eating spider-crow for saying this, but no. It would still need another $900 million to do that and realistically speaking it doesn’t have that kind of spider-gas left in the tank. But really, who fucking knows. Spider-Man is breaking all the rules of financial normalcy. Peter Parker’s net-worth will be higher than Stark Industries at the rate he’s going.
There were new movies. And both of them involved dinosaurs. And both of them opened to around $20 million. One of them imagined a terrifying reality in which monsters overtake a small civilization resulting in everyone having to resort to desperate measures to stay alive. The other was The End of Oak Street. Also Angel Studios had a film. It looked alright. But it didn’t have Reagan fighting dinosaurs, so hard pass. Really, though, as I stated before, the only two blockbusters that matter right now are Brand New Day (which doesn’t have any dinosaurs, probably because they’re busy curing cancer instead) and The Odyssey (which also doesn’t have any dinosaurs, but it does feature a very slow cyclops and fifteen seconds of a sea monster, so cool?).
