Deadline reports that Spider-Man: No Way Home has managed to swing as high as $1.37 billion at the worldwide box office, becoming the 12th highest-grossing movie of all time globally.
This comes after an amazing $78.3 million from 61 international markets during the threequel's third weekend on release, taking its offshore cume to $759 million. Despite concerns over another COVID-19 Variant, attendance in many markets is actually increasing; following Christmas, the UK surged by 25% where Spider-Man: No Way Home has now earned $92.4 million in total.
With this, Spidey's latest adventure has topped Black Panther's $1.34 billion for that #12 spot, and surpassed Spider-Man: Far From Home last week to become the web-slinger's biggest movie.
In other comic book movie news. The King's Man managed to pull in an additional $14.1 million overseas this weekend for a global total of $47.8 million. That's not a good result, and it appears a combination of mixed reviews and Spider-Man: No Way Home's dominance has stopped this once-lucrative franchise in its tracks. Will Matthew Vaughn now get to make Kingsman 3? It seems doubtful.
Elsewhere, The Matrix Resurrections - which isn't available on HBO Max in most countries - has pushed its global total to $106 million. With a reported $190 million budget, something tells us Warner Bros. won't be rushing to return to this franchise unless it's to attempt a full-blown reboot.
"Spider-Man: No Way Home is the greatest Marvel movie ever made. Period," we said in our review last month. "As epic as it is emotional, this is not only a perfect blockbuster, but Spider-Man’s wildest, funniest, and most awe-inspiring adventure yet. It's a Marvel masterpiece."
Do you think any of 2022's movies will find this same level of box office success?
