Spider-Man: No Way Home is still breaking box office records.<\/p>\n
Sonys latest web-slinging Marvel adventure has grossed $1.53 billion worldwide, cementing its place as the eighth-highest grossing movie ever at the global box office (not adjusted for inflation).<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, No Way Home generated another $64 million internationally and $33 million domestically, enough to push the films tally past slots nine through 12 on all-time rankings, which belonged to The Avengers ($1.518 billion), Furious 7 ($1.515 billion), Frozen II ($1.45 billion) and Avengers: Age of Ultron ($1.4 billion). Does it have enough steam to take down the films that stand in six and seventh place, Jurassic World ($1.67 billion) and The Lion King ($1.66 billion)? Thatll be the next box-office test of No Way Homes impressive staying power.<\/p>\n
At the domestic box office, Spider-Man: No Way Home has remained a force on the big screen despite the rapidly spreading omicron variant of COVID-19. With $668 million in ticket sales, it is now the sixth-highest grossing movie in history at the domestic box office, surpassing Titanic ($659 million) and Jurassic World ($652 million). In no time, it should take fifth place, which belongs to Avengers: Infinity War ($678 million), and could eventually land in fourth place, where Black Panther ($700 million) currently sits.<\/p>\n
Internationally, the newest Tom Holland-led comic book adaptation has collected a stellar $867.5 million since debuting in December. Over the weekend, No Way Home opened in Japan with $11.8 million, which is ahead of ticket sales for 2017s Homecoming by 76% and ahead of 2019s Far From Home by 35% in the same country. Among holdover markets, No Way Home brought in solid receipts in the United Kingdom ($6.2 million), Mexico ($2.5 million) and Indonesia ($1.2 million).<\/p>\n
The film has done especially well in the U.K. Hollands birthplace amassing $105.8 million to date. Other top-earning territories include Mexico with $69.7 million, South Korea with $55.8 million and France with $55.2 million. No Way Home isnt playing in China, which is the worlds biggest moviegoing market.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere at the international box office, Universals animated musical comedy Sing 2 picked up $17 million from 54 overseas markets. The film, which opened around Christmas, has made $81 million internationally and $190.8 million globally so far.<\/p>\n
Another holiday release, Disney and 20th Centurys The Kings Man, added another $13.4 million from 43 territories over the weekend. That pushes the prequel in the Kingsman spy comedy franchise to $49.2 million overseas and $74.3 million worldwide, a lackluster result.<\/p>\n
The Matrix Resurrections has also struggled to attract audiences in North America, where it debuted day-and-date on HBO Max, and overseas. The fourth installment in the Warner Bros. sci-fi action series generated $7.7 million from 76 markets, boosting its tally to $90 million internationally and $124.5 million globally. Its a weak result for a film that cost $190 million, a hefty sum that doesnt include global marketing fees. Resurrections opens in China on Friday, which could be a boon to ticket sales or could fail to make a dent. During the pandemic, Hollywood movies havent made much of an impact in Chinese movie theaters and it certainly doesnt help that The Matrix Resurrections came out weeks ago everywhere else.<\/p>\n
In fifth place (among Hollywood movies), Disneys musical fable Encanto earned $5.8 million from 36 international territories. The well-reviewed family film, which is currently on Disney Plus, has grossed $123 million overseas and $215 million globally to date.<\/p>\n
