Spider-Man: No Way Home opened in a handful of international locations on Wednesday, and after crossing $67 million overseas on Friday, the threequel has racked up a spectacular $181.4 million haul. A $121.5 million opening day in North America means the movie has already crossed the $300 million mark, and Deadline believes it's looking at $500 million by the end of today.
That will become clearer once we have Saturday's numbers and estimates for today; however, if the wall-crawler's latest solo adventure does top $500 million, it will be only the sixth movie to do so. It's also worth noting that Spider-Man: No Way Home would be only the second blockbuster to do with without being released in China (there's still no word on whether that will happen).
The trade notes that the UK was the highest international market with $24.9 million with Mexico, Korea, Australia, Brazil, France, Russia, India, Italy, and Germany rounding out the top 10.
Reviews and word of mouth for Spider-Man: No Way Home have been extremely positive. In our spoiler-free verdict, 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."
The box office has slowly started to bounce back in recent months, but it's clear now this movie has truly saved it. How The Matrix Resurrection fares next week should be interesting, though we're not expecting The King's Man to make much of an impact (it has a score of 49% on Rotten Tomatoes right now).
