Spider-Man: No Way Home is finally set to swing into theaters this weekend (tomorrow in The UK and several other locations), and the latest box office tracking points to an amazing debut at the global box office.
According to Deadline, the Sony Pictures threequel is expected to web-up between $160 million and $180 million overseas, and at least $120 million in The US, which could bring its worldwide total to $300M. Of course, renewed concern over the Omicron variant of COVID-19 means accurate predictions are difficult, but with the movie setting a new record for ticket pre-sales, most analysts seem to think $290M+ is highly likely.
This is obviously a very encouraging sign, and some believe No Way Home could become the first "pandemic era" movie to cross $1 billion - and do so without a China release!
The review embargo lifted late last night, and the movie was holding strong on Rotten Tomatoes at 100% until it slipped to 97% earlier this evening. I was lucky enough to catch a screening today, and while my review won't be finished until tomorrow, you can check out my reaction below.
"For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero's identity is revealed, bringing his Super Hero responsibilities into conflict with his normal life and putting those he cares about most at risk When he enlists Doctor Strange’s help to restore his secret, the spell tears a hole in their world, releasing the most powerful villains who’ve ever fought a Spider-Man in any universe. Now, Peter will have to overcome his greatest challenge yet, which will not only forever alter his own future but the future of the Multiverse."
