Though Spider-Man: No Way Home has been available to watch from home for almost two weeks now, Sony Pictures' block-busting threequel has continued to perform spectacularly at the box office, and will reach $800 million domestic by tomorrow morning.
When it hits this latest milestone, No Way Home will become only the third movie ever to pass $800M in the U.S. after Avengers: Endgame ($858M) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936M). It'll never catch the latter without a re-release - which some believe is currently being considered - but could it hope to beat Marvel Studios' mighty Infinity Saga finale?
Another $50M+ seems highly unlikely at this stage, though the movie should still web-up a few more quid before its Blu-ray debut on April 12.
The Tom Holland-led superhero adventure has also broken a new record in Digital sales, selling a massive 2.1M+ units in the U.S. during its first week of digital release since becoming available on March 15.
According to Deadline, some other studios (they don't mention any names) are envious about the film's success, and have "sniped that the movie was an anomaly at the pandemic box office, not the standard."
“Spider-Man: No Way Home is arguably the most important movie to the movie theater industry ever,” says Comscore Senior Media Analyst Paul Dergarabedian. "Can you imagine if it had flopped? Then every other movie would have been negatively impacted due to a lack of dynamic momentum to carry forward in the box office.”
A fourth solo movie featuring Holland's wall-crawler has yet to be announced, but we assume it's only a matter of time. Have you re-watched Spider-Man: No Way Home yet?
