Tickets for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse went on sale yesterday, and we now have the first box office tracking for Sony Pictures' highly anticipated Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel.
It's obviously still early days, but as of now, the movie is likely to swing into U.S. theaters with an $85 million - $105 million opening weekend. The first movie made a respectable $35.4 million during its debut, though positive word-of-mouth saw it earn $190.2 million by the end of its run. It would later win the "Best Animated Feature" Oscar.
In contrast, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is likely to swing as high as $226 million - $325 million.
That's a huge increase, and all signs point to this being the biggest family movie of the summer. It's tracking stronger than Elemental, Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and will only have competition that weekend from horror movie The Boogeyman.
Another international poster for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has also been released, and you can check that out below.
