SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Swings To $600 Million Global Opening; Could Hit $800 Million Before The Weekend

The latest box office update is more good news for Sony Pictures' most spectacular asset as Spider-Man: No Way Home actually had a bigger than expected debut worldwide. Here are the latest figures...

It's been far too long since we've had exciting box office news to share with you, especially as pretty much everything released this year has limped from minor milestone to minor milestone thanks to COVID-19. Spider-Man: No Way Home is an altogether different beast (arachnid?), though, as it managed to open at the global box office this weekend with a mind-blowing $600.8 million.

It's only the third movie to ever hit that number in a launch frame and is already the #6 movie of 2021. Within days, it should become the year's highest-grossing title, and all without China's help.

Webbing up $340.8 million overseas (which is a little more than the $334.2 million estimate), Spider-Man: No Way Home is once again #2 to only Avengers: Endgame with the second best worldwide opening weekend in box office history. Achieving this feat during a pandemic, especially with the rise of a new variant, is staggering and more proof that Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures have something special on their hands with Tom Holland's take on the wall-crawler. 

Analysts believe the threequel could hit $800 million - $900 million before its second weekend, so $1 billion is right around the corner. If this doesn't strengthen the relationship between the two studios and encourage them to continue working together on Spidey's solo outings, nothing will.

Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Picture Group Chairman and CEO Tom Rothman has shared a letter with the studio's employees and you can read that below (via Deadline). 

Dear Colleagues,

I want to congratulate each and every one of you this morning, in our offices around the world and here in Culver City. As you all know, Spider-man: No Way Home, roared to historic box office success this weekend, setting multiple records across the globe in the first days of its exclusive theatrical window. In the face of obviously challenging circumstances, this victory is even more impressive and a great testament to the continued cultural impact that theatrical films deliver. Their power does, and will ,endure. Spidey and Sony have struck a mighty blow to demonstrate just that.

I would like to thank our producing and filmmaker partners for their extraordinary efforts, Tony and Tokyo for their support, and especially all of you for your hard work and dedication throughout the year. Your belief has been our superpower. It is the holiday season and I’m sure you join me in feeling proud that Sony can help bring joy to audiences with this wonderful film.

I close by wishing all of you a happy and healthy holiday season.

Excelsior,

Tom

@bkmeijer - Well it's a message directed at Sony employees and not the press, so it makes sense.

@AmazingFILMporg - I’m not. Bad reviews won’t stop me from watching it on FX. In 2023.

@AmazingFILMporg - lots of comparisons to Force Awakens…so unfortunately I’ll be expecting a soft remake in the vain of Force Awakens and Dark Fate

@AmazingFILMporg - Honestly I’ve been skeptical given the series track record. It’s a big reason I’m watching on HBO Max, I’m not paying theater prices to get burned again 🤷🏽‍♂️

I was shocked to find out today that a movie actually taught the opening weekend of endgame. That movie was in China, the battle of Chanjin, or Shangchin, or somechin, But since they don’t count us I don’t count them. Well the people are cool but their oppressive government can kick rocks

@TheWalkingCuban - Yeah for real. Sweetest people but if you try to get them to talk about government they just shut down. Except for folks from Hong Kong or Taiwan, they'll give you an earful about the evils of the CCP.

@FleischerSupes - yeah they go into it mercifully late

@TheWalkingCuban - Nope. Endgame did 1.2 billion in the opening weekend. I remember the theatres being open for 24 hrs for the first weekend all over the country for the first time in history. The ticket booking sites continuously crashed for the first two days after the booking began. It was a mess! While it was hard to get tickets for NWH, it was nowhere near the Endgame level.

@KanchaCheena - no no, I mean single territory. US was 357. China’s movie the battle of somechin, made 398 in its opening weekend. Biggest for a single territory, which has never not been an American record, but they got it. Trust me I remember that Endgame’s worldwide opening weekend literally topped Iron Man 3’s entire gross. Frikkin mind blowing. But so is almost 400 mill in a single territory. Of course the rest of the world ain’t drinking China’s war propaganda and history rewriting koolaid so they weren’t finna touch Endgame’s worldwide.

See what I’m talking bout?

@TheWalkingCuban - Oh I thought you were saying NWH beat Endgame's opening weekend if you don't count China. My bad, I read that wrong.

TheWalkingCuban - 12/21/2021, 8:11 AM
@KanchaCheena - Np, In all likelihood I said it wrong LOL
