Spider-Man: No Way Home has overtaken James Cameron's Avatar to become the third-highest grossing film in U.S. history, Sony has announced.


No Way Home now stands at $760.988 million domestically compared to the $760.5 million made by Avatar, with a Valentine's Day push of $1.615 million finally pushing Marvel's latest blockbuster over the line.

The feat comes exactly 60 days after the Tom Holland and Zendaya-led film hit cinemas in the U.S. on December 17.


No Way Home has now made $1.8 billion worldwide, even before its launch in China. This places it eighth in the all-time list internationally, the top spot of which is still held firmly by Avatar.

James Cameron's sci-fi film has been fighting off Disney-owned films ever since it shot to the top of the U.S. box office in 2009. Avatar was overtaken by Star Wars: The Force Awakens (now in first place) in 2015 and again by Avengers: Endgame (now in second place) in 2019.

Black Panther now sits at fifth behind No Way Home and Avatar, followed by Avengers: Infinity War, Titanic, Jurassic World, The Avengers, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi in tenth.


Holland also stars in the Uncharted movie that started its international box office run with $22 million after launching on February 11.

It's coming to U.S. cinemas on February 18, and in our review, IGN said "Uncharted plays it safe, but it’s mostly a fun and effective adventure with an especially charming Tom Holland."
