SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Will Top AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR At The Domestic Box Office Today

Spider-Man: No Way Home continues to shatter box office records, and after less than a month in theaters, the wall-crawler's latest big screen adventure will swing past Avengers: Infinity War today...

Spider-Man: No Way Home hasn't just exceeded expectations at the box office; it's smashed through them and performed better than anyone could have ever imagined this time last month. 

We'll get updated global box office numbers over the weekend, but the Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures threequel will today top Avengers: Infinity War to become the fifth-biggest movie of all time in North America. As you can see below, the expectation is that it will surpass $700 million by Monday. 

That's amazing, spectacular, astonishing, and every other Spidey-themed adjective you can think of. No one can quite figure out how the movie has done this in the midst of a renewed surge in COVID-19 cases thanks to a new variant of the virus, but being a phenomenal piece of filmmaking surely helps.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home is the greatest Marvel movie ever made. Period," we declared in our review last month. "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 movie has the best "Audience Score" ever on Rotten Tomatoes, so it's not just critics who have been floored by the web-slinger's latest adventure. There have already been rumblings about some sort of re-release, likely to tie into the "Best Picture" campaign we know Sony plans on mounting. Can Spider-Man: No Way Home crack $2 billion without China? That currently remains to be seen.

Crazy to see this huge success despite the pandemic! I really hope that this movie manages to break 2 billion without china; hopefully it will show studios that you dont need to bend over for china, even if i know thats kinda unlikely to happen anyway

@MeAreLegend - sadly it won't be the norm for all blockbusters. Very curious how much China factors in the future.

Amazing. Another $120M and it passes Infinity War's take outside of China.

Nobody saw this coming? Covid, omicron specifically, has affected a lot...but this box office success was definitely to be expected. It’s just a shame we’ll never know how big it truly could have been

Well done Spidey,can't see it doing more than Avengers:Infinity War and Avengers:Endgame worldwide,but still mighty impressive.

It's actually nowhere near as popular as Infinity war. Tickets are nearly 7 dollars more now. So it's actual viewership is sitting closer to avengers 1

@Hulkh8liars - 7 more dollars?! Infinity War isn't that old lmao. I live in Cali and movie tickets aren't that much more, if at all. Some places even have good deals and cheaper tickets to get people back to the theater.

Where the frick you live that tickets went up $7?!

@ThorArms - Ohio. It was half price during the stay at home order but unfortunately ever since Godzilla vs kong it's 6.50 higher than it was before the shut down.

bkmeijer2 - 1/15/2022, 1:25 AM
@Hulkh8liars - where I live prices went up with 1.50

Only difference is, the cinemas are closed here right now

Hulkh8liars - 1/15/2022, 9:37 AM
@bkmeijer - damn that sucks. I didn't know theatres we're closed anywhere really. The smaller theatres never closed where I'm at(not even during the lockdown).
bkmeijer2
bkmeijer2 - 1/15/2022, 9:44 AM
@Hulkh8liars - oh yeah here its just because of the lockdown. But in 10 days there is a small chance of them opening again

As a comic book fan for over 43 years, I am happy for the success of any superhero movie ( even the bad ones ) Superman The Movie is still my favorite Superhero movie. I just wish they could give Henry cavill a superman film like reeves ! He deserves it. Henry is the best looking Superman ( Physique wise ) But Damn...Man of steel was a huge disappointment for me. i hope they get superman right on the big screen one day. For now...I am enjoying Superman and Lois. Here is hoping season 2 does not suck. CW shows usually go down hill after two seasons.
