SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME Continues to Make Cinematic History, Climbs Box Office Charts
By Movieguide® Staff
After two weeks in theaters, SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME continues to shatter previous box office numbers put up by some of the largest franchises and most beloved movies in cinematic history.
As of Dec 30, NO WAY HOME earned $536.6M at the domestic box office, moving the Marvel blockbuster to No. 12 on the list of highest-grossing movies released in the U.S. and Canada.
Notably, Tom Holland’s most recent Spider-Man surpassed Disney’s 2016 ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY ($532.1M) and Warner Bros.’ most successful domestic release of all time, THE DARK KNIGHT ($534.8M).
NO WAY HOME is expected to surpass No. 11, Disney’s live-action remake of THE LION KING ($543.6M) and possibly with Disney/Pixar’s INCREDIBLES 2 ($608.5M) at No. 10 on the list.
Movieguide® previously reported:
NO WAY HOME’s success marks a box office triumph after nearly two years of theater closures and tentative audiences.
“Historically, December is one of the biggest months of the year for major blockbuster releases, so to see ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ set a new all-time opening weekend box office record this month is significant not just for AMC, but for the entire theatrical industry,” Adam Aron, AMC’s chairman and CEO, told Variety. “We commend our friends at Sony Pictures and Marvel on their wonderfully successful movie, which millions of people have already watched at a U.S. AMC theatre in just four days.”
A portion of Movieguide®’s review reads:
SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME is filled with fun surprises and twists, plus lots of action. There’s plenty of serious jeopardy leading to stirring, sad and tearful moments. The performances are perfectly melded with the story’s twists and turns, including some surprise appearances. NO WAY HOME has a strong moral, redemptive premise that everyone deserves a second chance, even supervillains. In the movie, Aunt May inspires Peter to do the right thing and give the supervillains a second chance to set things right. SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME has many light obscenities and profanities, intense action violence and occult content.
