There’s not a shred of doubt in Hollywood that Sony’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will be a massive and much needed box office hit for theaters. The question is whether it will be the standard big hit that Marvel Studios regularly provided before the pandemic — or if it will be one of “Avengers”-level proportions.
Expectations have been sky-high for this blockbuster since Fandango reported that first-day presales for “No Way Home” exceeded those for 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” and 2017’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” both of which grossed over $200 million during their domestic openings.
“We’re seeing presales where people are even buying seats in those uncomfortable first-row seats where they are looking right up at the screen,” Boxoffice Pro analyst Shawn Robbins told TheWrap.
