Spider-Man: No Way Home Takes the Crown

This past weekend, Marvel fans got to finally see the third installment of the new Spider-Man franchise. At the moment, the internet is crawling with spoilers. Do yourself and everyone else a favor, don’t spoil Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Spider-Man: No Way Home Breaking Records

Spider-Man: No Way Home is on track to break pandemic records. The film grossed an incredible amount during Thursday night previews. I bet you think that it’s only around $20 million. Not even close. This movie grossed over $50 million in Thursday night previews alone. That’s just one night that this movie has been out.

For most of the movies that have been released this year they didn’t have that much in one weekend. Consequently, no movie during the pandemic has grossed as much as Spider-Man: No Way Home. Cumulatively, with a domestic gross of $260 million, it has easily destroyed the box office. Now add a little more money to that total and the worldwide total is $600 million. It now sits at the second-highest opening weekend right behind Avengers: Endgame.
