"Everybody loves a hero." The immortal words of Aunt May from 2004's "Spider-Man 2" ring truer than ever this weekend as audiences, Hollywood and especially theaters await the biggest film of the year.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home," the latest Spider-Man adventure from Sony (SNE) and Marvel, opens this weekend, and is set to become the biggest opening of the year by a large margin.
The film stars Tom Holland and Zendaya as Peter Parker and MJ as they battle villains from across the Marvel multiverse. It's projected for a $130 million opening in North America weekend, according to industry expectations. The movie brought in $50 million on Thursday night — that's the third biggest Thursday opening ever.
After recent burglaries at homes of professional athletes – including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce – the NFL and NBA have issued security memos to teams and players warning that “organized and skilled groups” are increasingly targeting players’ residences for such crimes.
