SATURDAY AM: For a film’s second weekend to gross over $100M, that’s quite a gift, not just for a studio, but the greater exhibition industry. Spider: Man: Brand New Day, with an eye on $143M this weekend is the eighth title to pull this off, and it’s the fifth Marvel title to do so after Avengers: Endgame, Avengers: Infinity War, Black Panther and The Avengers. Even if it doesn’t topple Force Awakens’ record $149.2M sophomore frame, the Destin Daniel Cretton directed movie is in rare air, and the first for a Sony movie to clear $100M in a second weekend.
