The latest entry in the Tom Holland-led trilogy will became the biggest movie of the year worldwide yesterday, Friday, Christmas Eve. It’s set to cross the $1 billion mark on Christmas Day. At 11 days, it would be the second-fastest to hit that milestone (behind 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame” at five days and tied with 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War”). It would also be the first theatrical release of the pandemic to join the billion-dollar club — even without China, the largest box office market in the world.
“No Way Home” made $29.3 million domestically on Thursday, bringing its seven-day gross to $385.8 million — the third-highest seven-day gross of all time, the highest seven-day gross in the “Spider-Man” franchise, and the second-highest seven-day gross ever for December and for a superhero film.
The Thursday earning is the third-highest Thursday gross of December of all time, and the highest Thursday take for Sony, the “Spider-Man” franchise and for a superhero pic. Internationally, it brought in $32.2 million on Thursday, bumping its overseas total to $490.2 million and global haul to $876.0 million.
In total, seven new films opened this weekend, including “The King’s Man,” “The Tender Bar,” “A Journal for Jordan,” “American Underdog” and “Licorice Pizza.” But none of them will top “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which debuted to a record-breaking $260 million last weekend.
On Monday, “No Way Home” raked in another $37 million, and early estimates for this weekend predicted the superhero movie would make another $100 million this weekend.
