It’s official – Spider-Man: No Way Home is now Sony Pictures’ highest-grossing film of all time, overtaking Spider-Man: Far From Home.
Spider-Man: No Way Home, which stars Tom Holland in his third solo Spider-Man film, has earned $516.4 million at the domestic box office on top of $644.9 million international. This amounts to a staggering worldwide total of $1.16 billion so far.
Of course, that’s not the only record set by Spider-Man’s latest outing, as the Spider-Man sequel opened to a $253 million domestic weekend debut, landing the third-biggest opening ever.
Domestically, Spider-Man: No Way Home took $21.3 million on Tuesday from 4,336 locations across the US bringing its cumulative total to $516.4 million, the third-fastest film of all time to reach the $500 million mark.
Internationally, No Way Home grossed $28.4 million on Tuesday, bringing its international cumulative total to $644.9 million.
The combination of the two makes Spider-Man: No Way Home the highest-grossing Sony Pictures movie ever made. The previous record-holder, Spider-Man: Far From Home, earned $1.13 billion at the worldwide box office, and with No Way Home still in cinemas, it looks as though Spider-Man’s latest adventure could go even further.
The only other Sony movie to earn over $1 billion is the 2012 James Bond hit, Skyfall.
Spider-Man has always done rather well for Sony, so it’s not a huge surprise. After all, the studio’s top 5 domestic movies are No Way Home with $516.4 million, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle with $404 million, Spider-Man with $403 million, Spider-Man: Far From Home with $390 million, and Spider-Man 2 with $336 million.
That said, No Way Home’s impressive box office haul is unparalleled during the pandemic.
Spider-Man: No Way Home stars Tom Holland as the MCU’s friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man, alongside Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, and Marisa Tomei. Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch joins the action while former Spidey villain Alfred Molina, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Foxx, Rhys Ifans, and Thomas Haden Church reprise their iconic roles.
In IGN’s Spider-Man: No Way Home review, we said that that: “Spider-Man: No Way Home hits all the right notes as the MCU's latest entry. Its impact on the universe as a whole, as well as the overall emotional beats, all feel earned. Stellar performances meet what feels like a Saturday morning cartoon rife with all the devastating punches we've come to expect from this sneaky universe.”
Spider-Man: No Way Home opened in theatres on December 17, 2021.
