It’s become tradition for most Marvel movies to have no other competitors on opening weekend, which often leads to big debuts at the US domestic box office and then notable drops in their second weekends. Spider-Man: Far From Home , however, is a slightly different case as the film opened on Tuesday, July 2nd, earning almost $93 million at the domestic box office before its first official three-day weekend in release, where it made $92.6 million. Far From Home remained the No. 1 movie at the North American box office this weekend, earning an estimated $45.3 million in its second weekend.

With a 51.1% decline in attendance, Spider-Man: Far From Home also had one of the lower drops in second weekend ticket sales for a Marvel Cinematic Universe film. (It should be noted, of course, that the Spidey solo films are distributed by Sony Pictures and not Disney like the main MCU entries.)Its predecessor, Spider-Man: Homecoming, had the largest second weekend drop of any MCU film with 62.2%.Far From Home's 51.1% second weekend drop places it in sixth place in terms of the MCU's second weekend drops, between Marvel's The Avengers (50.3%) and Thor: Ragnarok (53.5%). Far From Home has earned roughly $274.5 million at the domestic box office so far for a $847 million worldwide total.Here's a look at which movies retained their audiences the most from weekend one to weekend two, ranked in order of the smallest drops to the biggest, with all the data pulled from Box Office Mojo . Did any of these surprise you?It's worth noting that a percentage drop between the first and second box office weekends isn't necessarily a sign of a movie's success or failure. However the smaller that the first to second weekend drop is, the more likely a movie is to have a continued substantial run at the box office relative to its opening weekend. According to Box Office Mojo, the average second weekend drop for an MCU movie is 56%.A good chunk of these films opened with a massive opening weekend, like Avengers: Infinity War's monster $257.7 million opener, so it's pretty standard that many people going to see a blockbuster in its first opening weekend would lead to a relatively average second weekend drop. Other films, like Black Panther, maintained steady word of mouth over the weeks which led to smaller weekly drops as people continued to see it in theaters and resulted in a strong cumulative domestic box office gross.Black Panther's low decreases in grosses between weeks of releases caused it to go from a $202 million opening to an impressive $700 million full run in the United States alone -- beating out Infinity War's $678 million US domestic gross to make Black Panther the highest-grossing MCU movie in the US. ( Worldwide rankings are different. All MCU movies but five managed to win at least their first two weekends, with The Avengers and Avengers: Infinity War each winning its first three weekends and Black Panther with the biggest streak of all the MCU movies, winning its first five weekends in a row -- a feat so rare it was the first movie since Avatar to do so.While every MCU movie has opened to #1 one at the box office, only five movies in the franchise have only had their reign last one week: the bottom four on the above list, and one surprise that ranked much higher.The first is, unsurprisingly, the MCU’s lowest-grossing movie, 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. That movie, the second in MCU history which opened just months after Iron Man in the summer of 2008, dropped 60.1% and dropped to second place in its second weekend, behind newcomer Get Smart which debuted with $38.1 million. The second was 2011’s Captain America: The First Avenger, which dropped 60.7% in its second weekend with $25.5 million, dropping to third place in its second frame, behind Cowboys & Aliens ($36.4 million) and The Smurfs ($35.6 million).The third -- the surprise in the mix -- was 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy, which dropped 55.3% with $42.1 million, falling to second place in its second frame behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ($65.5 million). Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (56.5% drop with $191.2 million total US gross) ended up faring worse than Guardians; interestingly, GotG went on to reclaim the #1 spot at the box office in its fourth, fifth and sixth weekends of release thanks to positive word of mouth and reception, and went on to gross $333 million in the US.The fourth MCU film is Ant-Man and the Wasp ($75.8 million), which dropped 61.6% with $29 million, coming in second to Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation ($44 million). The final of the five is the movie with the biggest MCU second-weekend drop, 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming. That movie dropped a massive 62.2% in its second frame to put up $44.2 million, behind War For the Planet of the Apes ($56.2 million).Of these five films, only four failed to cross the coveted $200 million mark at the domestic box office. The four lowest-grossing MCU movies that couldn’t surpass $200 million are Thor ($181.1 million), Ant-Man ($180.2 million), Captain America: The First Avenger ($176.6 million) and The Incredible Hulk ($134.8 million).
