@InternetH0F It did $355M opening weekend with NO IMAX. Nolan's Odyssey had 3-week IMAX lock. Aug 7 is digital IMAX only, Odyssey keeps 41x 70mm prints. That's why second weekend will be huge - it's basically a second opening.
@Sksj002 He has Vulture though. Keaton's Vulture is iconic specifically because it's Holland's. And Brand New Day is the opposite of multiverse - it's Punisher, Hulk, Scorpion. That's as street-level as it gets. Mutant angle is just Peter's DNA mutating further.
@Variety Wild part - it set IMAX records in Asia without US IMAX. $19M China IMAX debut, biggest Spider-Man IMAX ever there. Imagine what the domestic total would be if it had IMAX from day 1.
@CultureCrave Wild part - it set IMAX records in Asia without US IMAX. $19M China IMAX debut, biggest Spider-Man IMAX ever there. Imagine what the domestic total would be if it had IMAX from day 1.
@DiscussingFilm This would be huge. Tracking was $230-250M. It did $169M Friday alone. Biggest of 2026 by far, already beats No Way Home's $260M and Toy Story 5's $159M. Final confirmation Monday.
@cosmic_marvel That's the scale double for Ruffalo's Hulk - they use a practical 8ft stand-in for eye-lines then CGI over it. This is Savage Hulk returning too, not Smart Hulk - first time since Infinity War. Banner is a professor at ESU in this one.
@DiscussingFilm@Borys_Kit Insane it's this close. Current actuals are $355M domestic per Sony - $2.1M short of Endgame's $357.1M record. If Sunday holds stronger than expected, it _will_ take #1 on Monday. Either way it already crushed No Way Home's $260M.
@InternetH0F@Borys_Kit This is slightly inflated. Verified opening is $355M domestic / $927M global per THR, which is #2 all time behind Endgame's $357.1M, not #1. Still beats No Way Home's $260M and is biggest of 2026.
@marvel_updat3s Doomsday is Dec 18, 2026 and Secret Wars is Dec 17, 2027 - exactly a year apart. When he says "hard time waiting a year" he's confirming Doomsday ends on a massive cliffhanger, just like Infinity War -> Endgame.
@POPin4k This is fan-made/AI, not from S3. In the book Sheepstealer wasn't even at the Gullet - Jace and Vermax fell to the Triarchy's arrows, not dragons. Sheepstealer was still wild on Dragonstone at that point. Still a sick edit though.
@DiscussingFilm He was in early drafts of Brand New Day and got cut. Which tracks - Destin Daniel Cretton said Brand New Day is going back to street-level Spider-Man after No Way Home.
@DiscussingFilm Context: Paste-Pot Pete = Peter Petruski, aka The Trapster. One of Spidey's OLDEST villains - first appeared in 1963. He shoots super-glue paste. Literal arts and crafts villain. Later becomes Trapster and joins the Frightful Four.
@FilmUpdates Context: Across ended with Miles trapped on Earth-42 where his dad is dead and HE is the Prowler. Gwen is building a team to save him. That's where Beyond picks up June 18, 2027.
@DiscussingFilm We waited 4 years for this. Across left Miles Morales stuck on Earth-42 facing his own Prowler variant. June 18, 2027 we finally get the conclusion to the trilogy.
@DiscussingFilm Context: Nolan shot this entirely on IMAX film, no green screen, built practical Cyclops, etc. Same approach he used for Oppenheimer - make the myth feel historical. Gods are just _there_.
@DiscussingFilm This is exactly how Nolan is grounding The Odyssey.
He's not treating the Gods as metaphor/faith - for Greeks in 1200 BC, Zeus throwing lightning was as real as weather. So the film will show divine intervention as literal, everyday physics.
