Sony's "Spider-Man: Far from Home" was released on Tuesday in over 4,600 theaters, and it has already broken a record. With $39.2 million in its first day, it scored the largest Tuesday debut of all-time, a record previously held by "The Amazing Spider-Man" ($35 million). The MCU sequel is entering the weekend with hopes of taking in as much as $80 million over the weekend and around $125 million for the six-day total.
In an attempt at counterprogramming, A24 has released the R-rated horror film "Midsommar" on Wednesday. Written and directed by "Hereditary" filmmaker Ari Aster, the film stars Florence Pugh and Jack Reynor, and it has already picked up $1.1 million from Tuesday night previews, which is almost on par with "Hereditary" ($1.3 million). Launched into 2,588 locations, and expanding further on Friday, the film is expected to rake in between $9-15 million in its first five days.

MIDSOMMAR
Official Synopsis
Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing.
