Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spidey's first foray into the vast Marvel Cinematic Universe, has proven to be an absolutely roaring success, and now, the Jon Watts-directed film has officially crossed $300 million at the domestic box office and $700 million at the worldwide box office.
In its sixth frame, Homecoming grossed over $6.1 million in the United States, bringing its current domestic total to $306.5 million. Overseas, the picture finally opened in Japan and brought in a solid $7.1 million in its first weekend. It has now reached a grand total of $702 million worldwide, which is a pretty stellar result on a $175 million budget.
To commemorate the film's latest achievements, Sony's domestic distribution boss Adrian Smith released the following statement. “Congratulations to our partners at Marvel and everyone who worked on Spider-Man: Homecoming for reaching this important milestone. We couldn’t be prouder of the film and our incredible cast and filmmakers for delivering exactly what moviegoers wanted to see this summer.”
At the moment, it still stands as the lowest grossing Spider-Man film overall, but it's expected to pass 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2 ($709.0M) by the end of this coming week. It also has an outside shot at surpassing 2012's The Amazing Spider-Man ($757.9M) if it can manage a strong debut in China on September 8, although that might prove to be easier said than done.

A young Peter Parker/Spider-Man (Tom Holland), who made his sensational debut in Captain America: Civil War, begins to navigate his newfound identity as the web-slinging super hero in Spider-Man: Homecoming. Thrilled by his experience with the Avengers, Peter returns home, where he lives with his Aunt May (Marisa Tomei), under the watchful eye of his new mentor Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.). Peter tries to fall back into his normal daily routine – distracted by thoughts of proving himself to be more than just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man – but when the Vulture (Michael Keaton) emerges as a new villain, everything that Peter holds most important will be threatened.
