Sony’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” has given theaters around the world an early Christmas gift with its $600 million global launch last weekend. But now the question is: Can any of the films opening this holiday weekend find a foothold with Spidey both and COVID-19 dominating the headlines?
Leading the group of newcomers is Warner Bros.’ “The Matrix Resurrections,” which reunites Keanu Reeves, Carrie Anne-Moss and director Lana Wachowski in a meta spin on the 1999 sci-fi classic and its two sequels. Taking a radical visual departure from its predecessors and even questioning its own existence, “Matrix Resurrections” has received generally positive reviews from critics, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 71% at the time of writing.
Can ‘Matrix Resurrections’ (or Any Movie) Compete With ‘Spider-Man’ at Christmas Box Office?
