SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Remains At #1 As It Looks To Swing Past AVATAR's Domestic Box Office Record

It's another weekend at #1 for Spider-Man: No Way Home, but can the wall-crawler swing past the current domestic box office record held by James Cameron's Avatar? Find more details after the jump...

While Scream managed to open at #1 in North America earlier this month, Spider-Man: No Way Home swung straight back to the top of the domestic box office last week and will remain there for the sixth time this weekend. 

It's a spectacular feat, and one that's seen the Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios threequel earn an additional $11 million from Friday to Sunday. That's roughly the same as Star Wars: The Force Awakens at this same point in its release back in 2015/2016, and another record could soon be broken by the web-slinger.

With a current domestic cume of $735.3 million, Spider-Man: No Way Home is nipping at Avatar's heels to become the third highest-grossing movie of all time in North America. That would be an amazing accomplishment, and something Sony could brag about for many years to come. 

It's a mere $25.3 million away from surpassing Avatar's $760.5 million haul, and with no confirmed Digital/Blu-ray release date, the big screen remains the only place fans can relive the action. With awards season fast approaching, we're also anticipating a renewed marketing campaign, so Spidey taking down the Na'vi is by no means outside the realm of possibility. 

Next week, Spider-Man: No Way Home will have to contend with Roland Emmerich's Moonfall and Jackass Forever, neither of which are expected to become runaway hits. This is, however, likely to be the final time we see the superhero at the #1 spot. 

How much higher do you think the latest Spider-Man movie can climb?

@bobevanz - And yet it absolutely made HBO/WB a winner in streaming. BUT since that ship, and it is, imo, the last ship, has sailed I can't see any purpose for it in the future. That said since the purpose of HBO/WB in going day and date had nothing to do with theater box office, theoretically it could happen again.

@JDL - How is HBO Max a winner in streaming? They literally lost almost 2 million subscribers for Q3 of 2021 with day and date releases, and only regained millions of subscribers in Q4 by offering annual subscriptions for just $35

@lordSTALE - They shut out anyone else from entering the market in a major way. It's getting very clear that there will be no other major players in that market. Had they waited then it just would have been Netflix and Disney. That is unless Netflix goes bust which while unlikely is possible even given their one glaring weakness.

Also understand that for WB/HBO being a streamer is even more critical since they are without a network.

Please beat Avatar. God I hope the rest of the Avatar movies bomb. I can't stand James Cameron. This movie deserves to be number 1. Although with Cameron being the dude he is he will probably re-release Avatar for the umpteenth time to get the record back. Douchebag.

Anyway, go Spidey!!

Well deserved. Easily one of those MCU movies that's entertaining enough for a re-watch.

I think it would be great to see it pass Avatar on the domestic box office and cross a billion at the foreign box office.

Wonder if Avatar will be re-released though before Avatar 2
