Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse Has Already Crossed The Spider-Verse At The Box Office

It's a bit difficult to predict exactly how "Across the Spider-Verse" will hold up for the rest of the summer. There are many, many great movies waiting for us in the weeks to come, including "The Flash," Pixar's "Elemental," "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Fate," and "Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part One." , just to name a handful. Even at the low end, though, we're looking at around $600 million worldwide for "Across the Spider-Verse." If it holds up well in the face of fierce competition? That final figure could be closer to $700 million than $600 million, which would be quite remarkable.

Anyway, this is all good news for Sony. They now have an extremely viable universe to play in outside of the live-action "Spider-Man" spin-offs they've created (such as "Venom" and "Morbius"), which have seen mixed financial results. Best of all, the next "Spider-Verse" movie, "Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse," is already well underway and slated to arrive next year. Thanks to the cliffhanger ending "Across the Spider-Verse," the trilogy finale also has a good chance of outperforming the second installment.

Of course, all of this assumes that "Beyond" will continue the trend of these movies being generally outstanding. Critics and audiences alike resoundingly agreed that the first two "Spider-Verse" movies are top notch superhero movies. If the third entry continues this trend? Sony has perhaps one of the greatest trilogies of all time on its hands. No pressure.

"Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse" is currently set to hit theaters in 2024.
