Spider-Man: No Way Home has proved itself a true phenom of the "pandemic era," as the Sony Pictures threequel continues to assert its dominance at the global box office.
The Jon Watts-directed superhero adventure claimed the #1 spot for the sixth time this week, shrugging off mild competition from the likes of Scream and Sing 2. The movie took in another $11 million over the weekend, bringing its domestic cume to $735.9M after 45 days on release. This means it's only $25M away from surpassing James Cameron's Avatar to become the third highest-grossing film of all time in The U.S.
Analysts believe No Way Home should accomplish this by President's Day, but can it possibly home to catch Avengers: Endgame ($858M) and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936M) to claim the #1 spot? That'll be a tall order, but we'd be foolish to bet against this movie!
Spidey's latest solo outing has also swung past the $1 billion mark overseas for a global total of $1.739B, making it only the sixth movie in history to do so without a release in China.
