“Spider-Man: No Way Home” is the box office juggernaut that can’t be caught.
The comic book adventure, starring Tom Holland as Marvel’s favorite teen web-slinger, opened in theaters in December and spent every weekend except one as the top movie at the domestic box office. This weekend was no exception. This weekend marks the seventh weekend of its release. “No Way Home”It has once again been crowned No. The No. 1 spot was reclaimed by Holdovers, “Scream” “Sing 2,”A quiet January ended at the movies.
Over the weekend, Sony’s superhero sequel collected $11 million from 3,675 North American venues, a scant 17% decline from its prior outing. Those ticket sales put Spidey’s latest exploits at $735 million at the box office, maintaining its position as the fourth-highest grossing domestic release in history.
Presently, “No Way Home”Only $25 Million is required to unseat “Avatar”($760 million) was the third-largest movie (not adjusted to inflation). For any other pandemic-era release, adding another $25 million in ticket sales would be a high — if not insurmountable — barrier to cross since the movie has been available in cinemas for nearly two months. It seemed unlikely at one point. “Spider-Man”They would be able reach those specific box office heights. However, as the past weeks have proven, “No Way Home”It is not your typical movie. It is a movie that most arachnids would die for. In other words, James Cameron’s groundbreaking 2009 sci-fi epic may soon find itself bumped from bronze. But worry not, Na’vi Nation. “Avatar”With $2.802 trillion, it will be able to maintain its global box office record.
“As the film continues its dominance and notched numerous box office records, it’s a very safe bet that ‘No Way Home’ has yet another milestone to conquer — and that is surpassing the mighty ‘Avatar’s’ North American box office gross to become the third-highest grossing film of all-time,”Paul Dergarabedian is a senior media analyst at Comscore.
The No. 1, and 2, respectively, in North America. “Avengers: Endgame”($858 million). “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”To achieve $1936,000,000, it would be nothing less than a miracle. But, hey, third place isn’t so bad considering The state of the world.
International box office “Spider-Man: No Way Home”It was one of the films that reached the $1 Billion mark. Even more impressive, it surpassed that milestone without playing in China, the world’s biggest moviegoing market. It is estimated to have reached $1.74 trillion worldwide. “No Way Home”It is the sixth highest-grossing movie at the global box office.
There have been no national releases. “Scream”Again, second place was taken by domestic box office charts. Paramount Pictures slasher “requel”Between Friday and Sunday, $7.3 million was collected from 3,518 locations. This is a 40% decrease from last weekend. North American revenues now total $62.1 million. This is a good result since. “Scream”Production costs only $25 Million
Universal’s “Sing 2”No. 3. With $4.8 million, it was screened on 3,450 screens. The animated musical sequel to the cartoon musical, which was released around Christmas, has earned $134.5 million, making it one of the most successful animated films in recent pandemics.
The faith-based romance drama is another Universal release “Redeeming Love,”With $1.85 million in sales from 1,963 theaters, fourth place was achieved. The film’s total ticket sales dropped 48% since its opening, making it a mere $6.5 million. Universal is only distributing this film, so at least it isn’t on the hook for production fees.
Disney and 20th Century’s “The King’s Man”These were the top five highest grossing movies, earning $1.8 million at 2,440 venues in the span of the weekend. The prequel to the movie was released in six theaters. “Kingsman”Action comedy has made a modest $34 million in North America, and $114.4 millions globally.
