No, sorry, they have to have a several month period with no theater showings and no home releases for some fucking reason.

My buddy who's a cinephile wants to go w me, but will only see it in that format. Both the places are mad far and have thus far been sold out. I'm ready to give up and just go solo and see it in a regular theater. I legit don't give a single fuck about imax. It just means I'll have to pay double for tickets.

Spiderman is one of the most popular franchises ever and the most popular superhero worldwide, so it's not that surprising. The Odyssey crossing 1 billion while not being part of a franchise is more impressive imo.

Yeah, but you see Spiderman stars the global phenom z e n d a y a.

Wait, the new one? I've been so over Marvel movies for like a fucking decade. That's wild, I didn't know they could still move tickets like that.

There are a few reasons why we don't list the amount of tickets sold:

• The movie business never started reporting tickets sold. From the inception, it's always been raw dollars, so the data for tickets sold literally does not exist for older movies.
• Not all tickets are equal. An evening ticket is more expensive than an afternoon ticket, and IMAX ticket or 3D ticket is more expensive than a standard ticket, a ticket at a big city mall multiplex is more expensive than a ticket at a family-owned drive-in theater in the country, etc. So just listing the raw ticket amounts wouldn't tell you how much was made.
• The studios don't really care about tickets sold, they care about profit.

Yes, as in "is it worth three hours of your time."

It was a good ride (which is what the poem literally is) and had a message that should resonate with [points at all of this].

Worth watching in IMAX. Not the best acting, Tom Holland steals the movie, Lupita Nyong'o second.

The sets are amazing and costumes will win a lot awards.

Personally, higher then Dunkirk, lower then Batman Begins.

It's alright. I would rather rewatch Project Hail Mary if I had 3 hours to waste.
