By now you’re probably sick of hearing about the tangled web of box-office records that Spider-Man: No Way Home has obliterated since it swung into cinemas in December. Well, this next one’s a biggie, because the trilogy-capping superhero blockbuster has just surpassed Avatar to become the third highest-grossing domestic film of all time, with $760.9M.
It’s unlikely to web-crawl any higher, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens ($936M) and Avengers: Endgame ($858M) occupying the first and second place, but with the overriding caveat being the uncertainty of the world in which it was released, becoming the third highest-grossing film in domestic history is a huge milestone.
Spider-Man: No Way Home currently sits at $1.8B at the worldwide box-office, minus China, where the film is unlikely to ever get a release.
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
Spider-Man: No Way Home sees Jon Watts (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home) directing Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Zendaya (MJ), Marisa Tomei (Aunt May), Jacob Batalon (Ned Leeds), Tony Revolori (Flash Thompson), Jon Favreau (Happy Hogan), Angourie Rice (Betty Brandt), Jorge Lendeborg Jr. (Jason Ionello), Benedict Wong (Wong), J.K. Simmons (J. Jonah Jameson), Martin Star (Mr. Harrington), J.B.
