Spider-Man swings back to the top spot as Scream loses blood at the box office

January 25, 2022 by Matt Rodgers

He does it multiple times in No Way Home, and now Spider-Man has once again climbed back to the top having been knocked down following this weekends $14.1M take at the U.S. box office.

That was enough to dethrone the latest instalment of Scream, which bled-out with a -58.7% drop-off from last weeks impressive debut at the box-office, the largest of any film in the top 10, for a three-day tally of $12.4M, and a total cume of $51.3M. However, this kind of sophomore performance is in-line with genre expectations, and the film has already surpassed the lifetime domestic gross of 2011’s Scream 4, which only managed $38.2M. Scream also scared up $33.6M overseas, for a global total of $84.9M. With numbers like these Ghostface will be charging the batteries on his voice-change sooner rather than later.

Back to Spidey though, whose sixth weekend total was enough to push it to fourth on the highest-grossing domestic releases of all time list with a whopping $721M, behind only Avatar ($760.5M), Avengers: Endgame ($858.4M), and Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936.7M). Internationally the trilogy-capping outing moved up to sixth all-time, taking its worldwide cume to a whopping $1.69 billion.

Third spot on the podium went to Sing 2, which despite being available as a VOD option, still managed $5.7M over the weekend for a total of $128.4M domestic. Overseas, where the film is still set to open in some lucrative territories, the Garth Jennings directed sequel made $112.8M, taking its worldwide tally to $241.2M, the best for an animated feature since this cursed pandemic began.

As always the in-depth stats can be found over at BoxOfficeMojo.
