The new "Spider-Man" movie had a huge opening weekend, breaking box office records in North America. Some reports say it's the best opening ever, beating even "Avengers: Endgame." This success has led to discussions about whether movie theaters are still popular. One studio executive suggested this proves cinema isn't dead. The strong performance, along with another film called "L'Odyssée," made it the best box office weekend since the pandemic began, showing a strong recovery for moviegoing. Future box office performance will be watched to see if this trend continues.
