Over the weekend, Sony's comic book adventure
became the sixth-highest grossing movie in history with $1.69
billion at the global box office (not adjusted for inflation).
It passed "Jurassic World" ($1.67 billion) and "The Lion King"
($1.66 billion) to secure that spot.
Now in its sixth weekend of release, "Spider-Man: No Way Home"
returned to the No. 1 slot in North America, adding $14.1
million between Friday and Sunday, along with $27.7 million
overseas. The superhero epic, starring Tom Holland as Marvel's
neighborhood web-slinger, opened in December and has generated
$721 million at the domestic box office and $970.1 million
internationally.
Outside of the United States, where "No Way Home" ranks as the
fourth-biggest movie ever, Spidey's latest adventure has done
especially well in the U.K. -- Holland's birthplace -- amassing
$116 million to date. Other top-earning territories include
Mexico with $73.4 million, South Korea with $60.6 million and
France with $59.9 million. It's notable that "No Way Home" has
managed to shatter records and smash expectations without
playing in China, which is the world's biggest moviegoing
market.
