to remember

Animation, America’s box office champion in 2023. Released this Friday, June 2 in the United States, Spider-Man – Along the Spider-Verse achieved his second best start of the year, after Super Mario Bros.Estimates released on the evening of Sunday, June 4, grossed $120.5 million.

Marvel’s Spider-Man, which doesn’t fare much better than Nintendo’s Mustache Plumber, is ahead of the year’s biggest blockbusters: Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (118.4 million), Ant-Man 3 (106.1 million) or even She wore a mermaid (95.6 million)… which it will topple the weekly box office.

If you’re one of those who thought Spider-Man: The Next Generation’s box office haul wasn’t up to par ($384.3 million worldwide, $190.2 million in the US), Across the Spider-Verse comes to set the record straight and shows. That his fan base has been growing over the years.

The clearest proof is the start of the second opus of the trilogy, almost four times higher than the first (120.5 million against 35.4 at the end of 2018). Given the enthusiasm it is generating, the feature film could look to make a good run at the box office as the summer blockbuster season gets into full swing.

Last week’s leader The Little Mermaid dropped one spot… and 57.5% from its opening weekend, a fall that blockbusters are used to. The live action remake of the Disney classic should at least cross the 200 million GEL milestone on American soil in the coming days.

The second (and last) news in this top 10, The boogeyman Proving that horror is always successful by stepping straight onto the third step of the podium, ahead of a trio of big machines made up of Guardians of the Galaxy 3, Fast & Furious X and Super Mario Bros., which still placed well for the ninth week in a row. and today stands as the 19th highest-grossing hit of all time worldwide.

Finally, note that Gerard Butler is the biggest drop in this ranking. With a -67.1% return compared to the previous weekend, his Kandahar It’s already guaranteed to do worse than Mayday , which grossed $32.1 million.
