Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is received a big box office opening this weekend.
According to The Hollywood Reporter,
The Sony Animation sequel earned a huge $51.8 million-plus from 4,313 theaters on Friday for a projected opening of $120 million-plus, well ahead of expectations and one of the top openings of all time for an animated film. The movie, which will easily come in at No. 1, boasts both stellar reviews and audience scores. Sony’s weekend estimate is a more conservative $113.5 million, which will make Across the Spider-Verse the third-biggest opening of all time for an animated pic and the best ever for Sony animation.
Across the Spider-Verse movie follows Marvel’s Miles Morales/Spider-Man, voiced by Shameik Moore, and Gwen Stacy/Spider-Woman, voiced by Hailee Steinfeld, set across the multiverse of Spider-People. New voice cast members include Issa Rae as Jessica Drew.
After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn's full-time, friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters a team of Spider-People charged with protecting its very existence. However, when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders. He must soon redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most.
