Spider-Man: Far From Home Hits $1 Billion At The Box Office
That Marvel reign just won’t let up. Spider-Man: Far From Home became the ninth film from Marvel Studios to cross the $1 billion mark at the box office. According to The Hollywood Reporter, it became the first film featuring the web-slinger to do so.
There is a catch though, Disney won’t see any of that money. As part of its complicated deal with Sony to use Spider-Man in the MCU, all of that dough goes into Sony’s pockets instead. We are sure Disney isn’t sweating it though with the Lion King still bringing in cash as we speak and the upcoming home release of Avengers: Endgame just days away. To celebrate the film’s accomplishment, Tom Holland shared a cool BTS clip via his Instagram account to thank his 28 million followers for their support of the film.
With the recent announcement of Marvel’s Phase 4 slate of films coming don’t be shocked if Disney continues to rake in the dough.
Fast & Furious Writer Says Franchise Heading Into Outer Space Is “Not of Out The Question.”
The Fast & Furious movie franchise is already in territory it has never been before with the release of its first spinoff Hobbs & Shaw. Chris Morgan, the long-time writer of the action films, didn’t scoff at the idea somehow we will see Dominick Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his familia in space.
Speaking with Polygon about some of the ridiculous jaw-dropping action scenes, Morgan says nothing is “off-limits” but as long as they “stay on the right side of keeping the audience engaged.” When asked if fans will one day see the franchise hit the vastness of outer space, Morgan stated:
“Nothing’s out of the question. Absolutely nothing. It just has to be cool, and it has to be good. You know, that’s the thing.”
Interesting.
