Spider-Man: No Way Home is showing no signs of slowing down, and the latest updates suggest that the critically-acclaimed Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios superhero adventure is inching very close to becoming one of the 10 highest-grossing movies of all time in the U.S.
After taking in another $20.6 million on Thursday, No Way Home now sits at $557.2 million domestically. This not only gives the Spidey threequel the third highest 14-day cume behind only Avengers: Endgame ($660.4M) and Star Wars: Force Awakens ($652M), but brings it past 2019's The Lion King remake and into 11th place on the list of highest-grossing movies at the domestic box office.
Analysts predict a -40% drop for a $50 Million third weekend, which would swing the movie past the $600M mark.
This is obviously a very impressive feat - especially in the current pandemic era - and the surge in omicron cases across the word clearly hasn't deterred moviegoers from braving the multiplexes to see what has become the most talked-about comic book film since Avengers: Endgame.
In other BO news, Illumination/Universal’s Sing 2 took in $7.75M for a 9-day total of $70M, 20th Century Studios' The King’s Man earned $1.37M for a running total of $14.9M, and The Matrix Resurrections continues to flounder, now sitting somewhere around the $70M mark worldwide.
