Spider-Man: No Way Home has swung to a record-breaking $253 million domestic weekend box office debut, and it earned another $334.2 million internationally to claim a global total of $587.2 million.
As reported by THR, Spider-Man: No Way Home has secured the third-biggest domestic opening of all time, pandemic or otherwise, and the third-best global opening ever, not adjusted for inflation.
The latest Spidey film surpassed Star Wars: The Force Awakens' $247 million domestic opening, but failed to reach the heights of Avengers: Infinity War's $257 or Avengers: Endgame's $357 million.
No Way Home was also the first film in the COVID-19 era to earn over $100 million in its domestic debut. Venom: Let There Be Carnage was the closest before this film, as it earned $90 million during its launch.
Additionally, No Way Home has already grossed more than than the entire run of any other film during the pandemic era. Previously, Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings had the highest run with $224.5 million.
Fans also flocked to IMAX theaters to see the latest MCU film, as No Way Home earned $36.2 million globally at IMAX, making it the sixth-best opening for that particular format.
No Way Home also performed considerably better than the impressive domestic weekend box office debuts of Spider-Man: Homecoming's $117 million and Spider-Man: Far From Home's $92 million.
In our Spider-Man: No Way Home review, we said that it "bounces from hilarious to hurt with ease as both the darkest and funniest MCU Spider-Man entry to date."
