Spider-Man Headed for TWO BILLION DOLLAR Box Office! Is The Odyssey's Run OVER?!

I'd say 2 Billion is pretty easy here. Basically a certainty at this point.

I'm wondering if it's good enough for repeat viewings that could get it to $2.5 Billion, despite the economy.

I'm thinking close to breaching $3 Billion and having a shot at taking the highest grossing slot from Endgame is probably not in the cards. If you don't count re-releases of movies, Spider-Man needs to make $2.8 Billion to win. But with inflation not being factored in that's not really even close to true. Avatar (2009)'s original run would be around $4.5 Billion today.

My old man saw it with my brother and said he thought it was just about if not as good as No Way Home, and that was his favorite Spider-Man movie. And he said it didn't have the other Spider-Men and nostalgia bait like No Way Home did, so it must be pretty decent for my dad to have liked it that much without the gimmick.

I didn't know until today that No Way Home was his favorite too. I know he really liked the Toby McGuire movies, and I just assumed those were always going to be his favorite like Batman 1989 is still mine. Maybe that's the difference between him seeing Toby Spider-Man when he was my age and I saw Batman when I was 10.

[POSSIBLE MINOR SPOILER ALERT]:

I don't believe this is a spoiler, but I know that opinion can be subjective, so you've been warned.

I asked him if they had any stupid magical mcguffins that brought Aunt May back or made MJ and his best friend remember who he was without having to put in any real effort and he said no.

From the little I gleaned so far, what I'm hoping is that they do another, lower budget Spider-Man movie after this one and have it take place somewhere in the 4 years between the events of No Way Home and Brand New Day.

Those 4 years are just a little one paragraph blurb in the movie synopsis, and personally, that is the movie I want to see. I'm hoping they didn't jack this one all the way up to saving the world from some cosmic death ray or something.

might drive you from your home and land?

Where else to occupy, Lebanon, Syria, parts of Ukraine and the US government?

I'm trying to recall which Mexican-American comedian said "We're all niggers now". And I'm not going to Google it for obvious reasons.

He wasn't wrong. I live under zero illusion that this could happen to us, at any point in time.

Don't forget who you're talking to. I'm apparently one of the only Americans sitting around here just waiting for the call to go out and for millions of Muslims to start attacking us.

I think there's still not enough of them here yet, and most of us still have our guns and that's the only reason we don't see this shit happen here everyday.

May they take each other out.

I'm not picking a side. The sand people would be doing the rest of the world a huge favor if they manage to take each other out, as long as they don't fuck the world up for the rest of us in the process.
