Records are falling faster than MJ from unsteady scaffolding when it comes to Spider-Man: No Way Home, so following on from its second best domestic opening of all time, comes the news that its $31.4M Tuesday total now means that it has achieved the second-best five-day gross of all time, behind only Avengers: Endgame.
Per the statistics provided by Deadline, the Jon Watts directed blockbuster has also nabbed the highest December five-day gross of all time, beating Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which took $325.4M back in 2015, a pre-pandemic world.
On which, Spider-Man: No Way Home also swung closer to setting a global pandemic-era record by crossing the $700M mark internationally. Its global tally now stands at $751.3M, which is just off No Time to Die‘s $774M record, and should have been crossed by Tom Holland’s webslinger before I even finish typing this sentence.
Elsewhere in non-Spider-Man related box-office news, Disney dropped 20th Century Studios’ The King’s Man (read our ★ ★ ★ review here) into preview screenings across the country, where it earned $800,000, which is line with analysts predictions that have the franchise prequel opening with about $20M for the weekend.
