Spider-Man: No Way Home has performed spectacularly at the domestic and international box offices, exceeding expectations during opening weekend to break a series of records. With $260 million in North America and $340 million internationally, the movie debuted with $600.8 million. So, exactly how many records has the Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios threequel managed to shatter?
For starters, it webbed up the third-biggest worldwide opening of all-time behind only Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War. When you take China out of the equation (where Spider-Man: No Way Home has yet to receive a release date), it ranks as the second-biggest opening ever. The movie also holds the honour of having the highest global debut for Sony's Columbia Pictures; proving the value of Spider-Man is the fact that the previous record-holder was Spider-Man 3!
One of Spider-Man: No Way Home's biggest achievements was netting the second-biggest domestic debut in history, topping Avengers: Infinity War to sit behind only Avengers: Endgame.
Another particularly impressive record was broken when movie surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $529 million global bow in 2015 for the highest December opening. There are a multitude of foreign records, too, and you can find specific details on those over at The Hollywood Reporter.
It's also worth noting that Spider-Man: No Way Home's A+ CinemaScore makes it only the fourth live-action superhero movie to receive that grade alongside The Avengers, Black Panther, and Avengers: Endgame. As we're sure you'll agree, that's not bad company for the movie to be keeping.
