Spider-Man: Homecoming is definitely a box office hit but it appears as if it may not be the turnaround for the franchise Sony Pictures hoped for. In North America, the wall-crawler's latest adventure has swung way ahead of its predecessors by beating both of Marc Webb's Amazing Spider-Man movies with a haul of $278 million. That's definitely good news as both of those movies underperformed for the studio but things aren't quite so strong overseas and that could be problematic for the franchise.
While the Marvel Studios reboot has earned a respectable $355.4 million, Spider-Man: Homecoming's global cume of $633.7 million places it firmly in last place. It's nowhere near Sam Raimi's trilogy and still has some way to go before topping The Amazing Spider-Man 2's $709 million. It should, however, be noted that this movie cost considerably less than that one so Sony's profit margin is looking good.
A sequel has already been confirmed for 2019 so we know that Tom Holland's Peter Parker isn't going anywhere soon.
