Having held onto top spot at the box office for a second weekend in a row, Marvel and Sony’s superhero sequel Spider-Man: Far From Home is fast closing in on $850 million at the worldwide box office – a figure it should hit today.
By close of play on Sunday, Far From Home had pulled in $847 million, with $274.5 million domestic and a further $572.5 million from international markets, leading it just $33 million short of 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and $44 million shy of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3, the highest-grossing Spidey movie to date.
Far From Home looks likely to surpass the $1 billion dollar mark by the end of the month, meaning it will be the third Marvel Studios movie of 2019 to do so after Captain Marvel and Avengers: Endgame, capping an unbelievably successful year for the MCU.
