Theater Counts: Spider-Man Opens in 4,348 Theaters
July 6, 2017
Sony’s biggest release of the year will get the second-widest opening of the year for any studio so far this weekend. Spider-Man: Homecoming sets out in 4,348 theaters on Friday, which is a bit behind Despicable Me 3’s record-setting 4,529 theaters last weekend, but one better than the 4,347 theaters that Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 opened in back in May. For former film opened with a somewhat disappointing $72 million, while the latter clocked in with $146.5 million. Spider-Man is expected to land somewhere between the two. In fact, $110 million, which is a pretty good bet, lands almost precisely between those two numbers.
There are no other wide releases this weekend, but War for the Planet of the Apes is expected to open in 3,800 venues next weekend. We don’t have estimates for any other wide release or expansion yet, but The Big Sick continues its rollout nationwide this weekend with another 255 theaters taking it to 326 in total. It still looks headed towards truly wide status next weekend.
