SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Webs Up SCREAM To Retake The #1 Spot At The North American Box Office

Scream may have sliced Spider-Man: No Way Home down to size when it opened last weekend, but the web-slinger has crawled back to the #1 spot during its sixth weekend of release. 

With a total of $13.5 million, the threequel's domestic total now sits at an amazing $720.3 million. Scream suffered a 61% drop with $11.7 million, though its 10-day total of $50.6 million is not to be sniffed at. It won't be until Moonfall and Uncharted land in February that we learn whether ticket sales for big budget blockbusters have truly returned to normal or whether No Way Home was an anomaly.

As for that Sony Pictures/Marvel Studios movie, it will need to earn over $40 million to usurp Avatar and become the third highest-grossing release at the North American box office. It's 31% ahead of where Avatar was at this same point in its release, but analysts are uncertain whether it will have the same legs. Either way, it's been an unprecedented success for both Sony and Marvel.

While we have had a couple of new posters recently, there still hasn't been so much as a single image released of those two surprise guest stars. If we had to hazard a guess, that's because Sony wants to make sure the only way fans can see them again is if they pay for that big screen experience.

It's a smart tactic, though we could see a spoilery marketing campaign kick off when that planned "For Your Consideration" campaign begins in earnest a little later this year.

OFF TOPIC

Had a thought today that it would be great marketing, for future Moon Knight trailers to feature the perspective of a different identity, so maybe the next one from Marc Spector and the last one from Jake Lockley (I know there are others, but going with the main three here aside from the Moon Knight persona) What do you guys think?

Maybe it will be able to reach Avatar, then it will be measured against The Batman.

I don’t think blockbusters box office are back. I think Spider-Man is somewhat of an anomaly for now. Going to the theaters will be a calculated risk for many for a while and I don’t see nothing doing spidey numbers until Batman.

Shit Spider-Man had the nostalgia factor plus it just being Spider-Man going for it. Uncharted is a PlayStation only exclusive which And I’ve never even got through one, despite always having a PlayStation, so i seriously doubt the general public, who’s never played the game, would be excited to go see it

“ It's 31% ahead of where Avatar was at this same point in its release, but analysts are uncertain whether it will have the same legs.”

Avatar was in theaters for like nine months. No chance it gets anywhere close. In a prepandemic world, with China, definitely had a shot.

But right now, it will just have to make do with the massive amount of money that it brought in. Huge win for Sony.

@regularmovieguy - And Marvel Studios/Disney. They get 25% of all that profit.

I’d love to see Spider Man battle Ghostface. Granted spidey would win in 30 seconds it would still be funny to watch.

Or Deadpool and Ghostface. Deadpool just letting Ghostface stab him repeatedly while making Ghostface frustrated with his constant joking could be hilarious.
