Sony’s two-month-long “Spider-Mondays” festival is nearing its conclusion, with just one more week to go. Thestudio is re-releasingeach of the eight live-action Spider-Man moviesin theatersin celebration of its film division, Columbia Pictures’ 100th anniversary. Seven Spider-Man movies have already been re-issued into 466 domestic theaters over the last few weeks, withSpider-Man: Far From Homebeing re-launched this Monday. But the film’s re-release gross continued the series' downward trend.
Originally released in 2019 to critical and commercial success,Far From Homegenerated $265,000 this Monday, marking a minor decline fromSpider-Man: Homecoming’s$288,000 gross froma week earlier. Unsurprisingly, directorSam Raimi’s original trilogy of Spider-Man movies, starringTobey Maguire, has been the most successful of the lot. And it makes sense; enough time has passed for those films to have developed a nostalgia among the millennials who grew up with them. Plus, they’re actually very good; evenSpider-Man 3, which was generally looked down on when it first released, has cultivated its share of fans.
Spider-Man 3earned $760,000 on its re-release Monday, while Raimi’s firstSpider-Manfilmgrossed $681,000. Widely regarded as one of the best superhero movies ever made,Spider-Man 2leads the re-release rankings with an $805,000 Monday haul. The decline truly began with directorMarc Webband starAndrew Garfield’s two Spider-Man films. While the first one —The Amazing Spider-Man—has its defenders, even die-hard fans of the Marvel character would agree thatThe Amazing Spider-Man 2is the weakest live-action Spider-Man film of all time. But even that movie grossed nearly twice as much asFar From Homeon its re-release Monday a couple of weeks ago.
The Live-Action Spider-Man Movies Have Grossed Nearly $8 Billion Worldwide
Directed byJon Wattsand starringTom Hollandas the friendly neighborhood superhero,Far From Homeis the middle installment in Sony’s trilogy of solo Spider-Man films that are also a part of Disney’s Marvel Cinematic Universe. It featuredJake Gyllenhaalas the villain Mysterio, and took Peter Parker on an adventure to Europe. Themovie grossed $1.1 billion globally at the time of its release, becoming the highest-grossing Spider-Man film of all time before being overtaken by its sequel,Spider-Man: No Way Home. Also directed by Watts, the film will be re-launched next week, bringing the “Spider-Mondays” series to an end.
Holland has expressed interest in reprising his role for another solo movie, but has said that it would have to beworth his while. Watts, on the other hand, appears to have been exhausted by the demands of big-budget films. He was set to directthe Fantastic Four reboot for Marvel, but departed the project to helm the upcomingGeorge ClooneyandBrad Pitt-starrerWolfs.
