Speaking of spider-guys, Jacob Batalon — who played the MGU Spider-Guy’s “guy in the chair” — is tangling with the supernatural in this week’s other new wide release. Horror movie “Tarot” isn’t just battling dark spirits but bad reviews, with an 8% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Nonetheless, its estimated $6.25 million opening weekend (per Deadline) is a good enough start for a movie with a very lean $8 million budget, and slightly above earlier projections of a $5 million to $6 million debut.

The arrival of “The Fall Guy” has knocked Luca Guadagnino’s “Challengers” down to second place on the box office charts, but it’s still firmly in the game. The tennis love triangle drama grossed $2.5 million on Friday and is on track for a second weekend total of $8.7 million — a drop of just 42%. Though its budget is a little steep at $55 million, “Challengers” is benefiting from rave reviews, the presence of Zendaya as one of its three leads, and plenty of social media buzz (TikTok really loves a certain churros scene). 

Meanwhile, “Star Wars” fans are celebrating May the 4th — a.k.a. Star Wars Day — with the 25th anniversary return of “The Phantom Menace” in theaters. The first movie in George Lucas’ prequel trilogy grossed $2.4 million on Friday and is on track to come in third this weekend. People just love those lightsaber guys.
