Black Widow Has A Massive Opening Weekend As Marvel Makes A Spectacular Comeback To The Big Screen

Even without accounting for the impact of Disney+ Premier Access and the on-going impact and influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Widow had an excellent opening weekend. To put it in further context, the last Marvel Cinematic Universe film to be released before theaters shut down, Jon Watts’ Spider-Man: Far From Home, made $92.6 million in its first three days, and it had nothing holding back its potential. That $12.6 million differential is not a large amount when all factors are accounted for, and it not only is a great sign for the future of movie theaters, but a massive moment in the ongoing debate between theatrical and streaming. Despite all thoughts to the contrary, co-existence may be possible.
