SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Swings To Third Highest Thursday Evening Box Office Haul Ever

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Spider-Man: No Way Home webbed its way to a massive $50 million during Thursday previews. That's the third-highest haul ever, behind only Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($57 million) and Avengers: Endgame $60 million). It's an astonishing feat, especially as COVID-19 continues to play a role in lower than usual box office takings. 

Now, the Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios threequel looks set to become the first release in this "pandemic era" to earn more than $100 million during its opening weekend (current estimates point to a $150 million weekend). On Wednesday morning, several scenes from the movie were leaked on YouTube by fans overseas, but those clearly didn't diminish interest in Spider-Man: No Way Home.

If fans did stumble across those, then they clearly only served to increase excitement. Luckily, Sony was quick to remove them, so fingers crossed not too many people had the movie spoiled in advance.

The trade adds that current tracking is pointing to a $300 million - $400 million global debut, though that pesky Omicron COVID variant is proving to be problematic in some European locations. Denmark announced the closure of cinemas in the country a short while before this news broke. 

In our spoiler-free review, we concluded with: "Spider-Man: No Way Home is the greatest Marvel movie ever made. Period. 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."

It feels like this is just the beginning for Spider-Man: No Way Home, and positive word of mouth should only serve to help its box office takings over the weeks to come. Even without a China release, it doesn't look like the web-slinger's latest adventure will struggle to top the $1 billion mark globally.

I knew the hype was big, but did not expect it to near The Force Awakens and Endgame.

I'll probably either wait with going, or waiting for streaming. The cinemas here are from 9 till 5, and let that just be time I'm either at work or following online colleges.

Saw this movie yesterday and I can't believe I am saying this but the reviews were right this movie is absolutely fantastic, it's one of the best Spider-Man films I've ever seen since Spider-Man 2. This is a beautiful, heart wrenching, and emotional spectacle of a film with great crowd pleasing fan service, with the exception of a few moments from the first two MCU Spider-Man films I didn't really like them, this movie addressed many of the problems I had with the first two movies this is a more serious, darker & mature Spider-Man film than Homecoming & Far From Home. One of the best movies to close out 2021 and the ultimate Spider-Man film that's the best since Spider-Man 2. Everyone go see this in the theaters and if you can in IMAX or on the biggest screen possible you will be blown away by this visual spectacle.

I'm waiting for the Sunday numbers to see if it has a chance to hit one billion or not.

The best thing about this movie is May’s death, she wasn’t just an introduced character that died for plot purposes, no she’s been here since civil war and has always been nothing but loveable. Tony was a jerk LOL even though he’s my favorite MCU character. But May was so sweet it hurt. We larbed her. Ugh. Always hated that part. Not no mo!

I think my main issue with the movie right now was some of the dialogue, specifically meme references. Just felt so forced

YAWN! This looks atrocious! Quite possibly, one of the most boring looking things since the first Eternal's trailer. I think I'll wait until it hits network TV in 2026..!



And, if anyone needs me, I'll be under this bridge waiting for some Billygoats...!

Here is a good article which gives logical support to the entire Peter (Tobey) Parker's "emo" period.

It helps demonstrate that critics should try getting a better understanding as to "why" things happen in films, instead of criticizing what they don't understand.

While I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the best Marvel movie ever made (that distinction goes to EndGame) it is hands down the BEST Spider-Man movie ever made. Period.

I'm going a second time with a bunch of friends in an hour. First time we're going in a bigger group to watch a superhero movie since... Far From Home.
