Spider-Man: No Way Home has proven to be a huge hit, and now that it has officially surpassed the sci-fi epic, Avatars as the third highest-grossing film in United States history.
This happened last weekend, with No Way Home grossed $760.9 million at the North American box office, well enough to surpass the James Cameron film, which hit $760.5 million. This momentum might not be enough to bring him close Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936 million) which is at the top or Avengers: Endgame ($858 million) in second place. But being the third highest grossing film in the domestic market in American history is an impressive feat for this film. No Way Home technically is production Sony Picturesbut since it’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s a win for Disney too.
If we look at box office earnings globally, Spider-Man: No Way Home is the sixth highest-grossing film of all time with $1.8 billion. While it’s unlikely the film will hit another $100 million to surpass Endgame’s domestic record, No Way Home’s impressive box office figures will no doubt ensure both the MCU and Sony’s Universe of Marvel Characters are expanding aggressively in the near future.
No Way Home starring again by Tom Holland as Peter Parker, Ned, played by Jacob Batalon, and MJ, played by Zendaya. Jon Watts returns to direct this third film from a script written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Also returning for this new Spidey film are Marisa Tomei as May Parker, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Benedict Wong as Wong, Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson, Angourie Rice as Betty Brant, and JK Simmons as J. by Benedict Cumberbatch, who also returns to assist Peter in dealing with the consequences of his secret identity being made public. Unfortunately, Doctor Strange’s spell didn’t work as planned, and instead brought visitors from another reality to the MCU.
