Despite rising concerns over the omicron variant of COVID-19, the film earns the honor of both bulldozing the pandemic-era box office records and becoming the third biggest opening of all time. It’s only bested by ‘Avengers: Endgame’ and ‘Avengers: Infinity War.’

So how do the numbers stack up?

The Sony Pictures / Marvel production grossed a gargantuan $253 million at the US box office in its opening week. Its domestic and worldwide wins bring its combined gross to over $588 million.

It’s of note that the film (the third with Holland as the masked web-slinger), was made on a $200 million budget and has yet to open in certain major markets such as Japan and China.

Speaking on the mammoth success of ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’, Tom Rothman, Sony Pictures Chairman & CEO said in a statement:

“This weekend’s historic ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ results, from all over the world and in the face of many challenges, reaffirm the unmatched cultural impact that exclusive theatrical films can have when they are made and marketed with vision and resolve. All of us at Sony Pictures are deeply grateful to the fabulous talent, both in front of and behind the camera, that produced such a landmark film.”

A certified smash!
