After a June marked by several underperforming sequels, Sony/Marvel Studios’ “Spider-Man: Far From Home” will kick off a fiscal quarter loaded with some of the most anticipated blockbusters of the year — and a July that is crucial for Sony.
Two years ago, Sony had one of its best box office months in recent years with “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” the product of a deal between the studio and Disney to add Peter Parker to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Thus Sony was able to enjoy a slice of Marvel-mania to the tune of an $880 million global run for “Homecoming,” which also led to two more hit, non-McU Spidey films in 2018 with “Venom” and the Oscar-winning “Into the Spider-Verse.”
On top of that, Sony had another modest but fruitful hit a few weeks after Homecoming’s release: “Baby Driver,” an original film from Edgar Wright that grossed $226.9 million against a $34 million budget.
