For the third time in a row, a new movie will top the weekend box office. After Fast X and The Little Mermaid both opened slightly below expectations, the domestic box office is looking to rebound in a major way with this week’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the hugely anticipated sequel to 2018’s critical and commercial hit Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The animated superhero sequel delivered a spectacular $17.
That Pixar film ultimately finished as the biggest animated release in history, with a $608 million lifetime domestic haul. Across the Spider-Verse will likely not hit that mark, and is actually projected to make less than half of what Incredibles 2 grossed in its opening weekend . As things stand, Across the Spider-Verse is looking at an $80 million-plus debut weekend, but it’s entirely possible for it to deliver a bigger haul, considering the kind of excitement around it.

That film made $3.5 million in Thursday previews; it ended its domestic run with $190 million, and tapped out globally with $384 million.
The movie exists independently of the live-action Spider-Man series starring Tom Holland, and continues the story of Miles Morales, voiced by Shamiek Moore, who runs into a host of Spider-people as he goes on a multiverse-hopping adventure. Hailee Steinfeld joins Moore as Gwen Stacy. Other cast members include Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya and Oscar Isaac.
