(AP) — The city of Worcester says it’s breaking ground on a new ballpark for the Boston Red Sox Triple-A affiliate. A ceremonial groundbreaking for Polar Park is planned for July 11. The club announced last year that it’s moving from Pawtucket, Rhode Island, to Worcester, Massachusetts. Politicians, team executives and community leaders plan to attend the ceremony. The team’s ownership decided to relocate after failing to reach a deal for a new stadium with Rhode Island officials. The team plans to play its first season in Worcester in 2021. The Rhode Island Commerce Corp. is looking for individu- als and organizations who want to use McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket and potentially secure a professional sports team for the 77-year-old ballpark.

‘Spider-Man’ soars with $185.1M over six-day holiday weekend NEW YORK (AP) — It pays to have one of the biggest lead-ins ever. “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” the first Marvel movie after “Avengers: Endgame,” swung past any franchise fatigue to dominate the July Fourth holiday weekend, raking in an estimated $185.1 million since opening Tuesday and earning $93.6 million from Friday to Sunday in North American theaters. The opening gave Sony Pictures one of its best weeks ever. “Far From Home,” which opened overseas before landing in the U.S., has grossed $580 million worldwide in 10 days of release. It also came with an assist from Disney’s Marvel Studios, which has partnered with Sony on this and its last two “Spider- Man” releases: 2017′s “Spider-Man: Homecoming” and last year’s animated spinoff “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Though “Far From Home” fell short of the $117 million Friday to Sunday domestic opening of “Homecoming,” its uncon- ventional Tuesday opening paid off. The film’s $39.3 million opening day set a record for any movie on a Tuesday. To help whet the appetites of Marvel fans — and to approach the record $2.79 billion gross of “Avatar” — Disney re- released “Endgame” in theaters the weekend ahead of “Far From Home.” Part of the draw of the film, starring Tom Holland as Spider-Man and Jake Gyllenhaal as Mysterio, was seeing the first installment in a new chapter of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. (“Endgame” still narrowly trails “Avatar,” unadjusted for inflation, with $2.77 billion.)

1. “Spider-Man: Far From Home,” $93.6 million ($238 million international). 2. “Toy Story 4,” $34.3 million ($43.1 million international). 3. “Yesterday,” $10.8 million ($7.9 million international). 4. “Annabelle Comes Home,” $10.8 million ($20.4 million international). 5. “Aladdin,” $7.6 million ($16.2 million international). 6. “Midsommar,” $6.6 million ($761,000 international). 7. “The Secret Life of Pets 2,” $4.8 million ($22.4 million international). 8. “Men in Black International,” $3.6 million ($3.7 million international). 9. “Avengers: Endgame,” $3.1 million ($1.3 million international). 10. “Rocketman,” $2.8 million ($1.5 million international) THE WESTFIELD NEWS WWW.THEWESTFIELDNEWS.COM MONDAY, JULY 8, 2019 - PAGE 13
