What the leaked trailer really showed is hard to know, as it has already been deleted from the internet. And Sony, the film’s studio, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the leak, so there are still many unknowns.
But the trailer itself doesn’t matter as much as the fervor that surrounds it. Attention is another great example of Spider-Man’s popularity in the cineplex.
The character helped, in many ways, to create the era of great comics that Hollywood is currently living through. 2002’s “Spider-Man,” which starred Tobey Maguire as the hero, shattered box office records at the time before earning more than $ 800 million worldwide. This film spawned two sequels before Sony replaced Maguire with Andrew Garfield in 2012.
Sony was also successful with the 2018 animation “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” which grossed $ 375 million worldwide and won an Oscar.
Theater owners are also optimistic that “No Way Home” is the kind of blockbuster that can help them get back on their feet. The film will hit theaters on December 17 and could be the biggest blockbuster of the year. If this is the case, it could not only bring in a lot of money, but it could also help the industry springboard towards 2022.
So, yes, there have been some successes and failures so far this year at the box office, but if the reaction to a briefly leaked trailer is an indication, the industry’s biggest success has yet to pass through theaters. .
