Box Office: 'Spider-Man: Far From Home' debuts with heroic $185 million

Superheroes were once again around to save the day as "Spider-Man: Far From Home" ignited a much-needed boost in the domestic box office. The web-slinging adventure easily dominated in North America, delivering a $185 million debut from 4,636 venues during its first six days in theaters. But even your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man isn't immune to a little sequel slump. "Spider-Man: Far From Home" got a head start by opening on Tuesday ahead of Independence Day, but it collected $93 million over the traditional three-day weekend. That's a stellar start to be sure, but a drop from the $117 million debut of its predecessor, 2017's "Spider-Man: Homecoming." However, the July 4th weekend isn't a traditionally busy time for moviegoing.
