Homecoming is projected to hit a $120M opening weekend. That would put it #7 among MCU films, The Avengers ($207M) and five sequels.
Perhaps most importantly, it would be the 2nd biggest opening weekend ever for a Sony/Columbia film behind Spider-Man 3 ($151M).
I hope Fox is taking notice.

Meh, she blended ok, the rest of the high school cast were in their teens when it filmed. Tobey Maguire was 25-26, Andrew Garfield was 27.
Just saying she's over 18, bro.
So Stark was mad when he tried to stop the bad guy and almost killed the people on the ferry but was happy when he tried to stop the bad guy and almost wiped out a few city blocks with a giant plane?
The bad guy almost stole all of Stark's tech.
The class warfare angle is pretty damn deep in this film. The Vulture flew under the radar of Stark because he has a working class mentality and ethic. Best MCU film villain since Loki in Thor 1 and The Avengers. Shame he was never called the Vulture since it was a perfect fit.
Curious what people thought about "Karen." I'm sure the suit will be a pretty divisive part of the movie. I thought it was a good fit for the Stark influence and made up for the decision not to use "Spider sense." Obviously, it's one of the things I was talking about above when I said they did a good job giving Spidey someone to talk to throughout the film.
I think there were a lot of analogs to the original Iron Man. In Civil War, Peter was presented as a bit of a vulture who scavenges for tech. The Vulture is a bigger badder version much like Iron Monger was a bigger badder Iron Man. I'm glad they didn't overplay it. Control over Stark tech was important. My favorite was that they set Peter's "I am Iron Man" moment at the end. Keep in mind that was a pretty huge twist at the end of the original. It wasn't a surprise that Peter turned it down. But they added the Aunt May twist which was perfect.
Aunt May was a Lois Lane problem for Marvel. How do you present this beautiful, smart woman and have her completely blind to a secret identity? You don't.
Man, I love Marisa Tomei. Thirty years since A Different World, 25 since My Cousin Vinny and she still does it for me. Damn. Another excellent casting decision by Marvel. Why would a 15 year old kid have a 60-something aunt? Honestly, they could have gone even younger than what I assume was mid-40s or so (Tomei is 52). And I love how they didn't shy away from how hot she is and how comments irk Peter. It led to three hilarious moments.
