Spider-Man: No Way Home hits $ 1 billion at box office
Spider-Man: No Way Home has woven its web very well, reaching $ 1 billion at the box office globally. It is the first film to exceed this milestone since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Spider-Man: No Way Home crush everything at the box office
In details, Spider-Man: No Way Home has reached $ 1.05 billion at the box office: $ 467.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $ 587.1 million internationally. France is the fourth most successful country internationally, with revenues of $ 35.8 million.
This is the second biggest hit of all time at Sony, the first being Spider-Man: Far from Home with $ 1.15 billion. We can imagine that the ranking will soon change and that the second will come first.
This success in itself is not a real surprise, except that such income occurs during the pandemic, especially with the Omicron variant of Covid-19. This is a Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) movie, to begin with. Then, the Spider-Man films always have the coast with the public. There is also the fact that he comes to complete a trilogy. Finally, there’s the return of villains from the old movies when Spider-Man was played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. All of this combined made the audience go to the cinema.
Disappointment for Matrix: Resurrections
Outraged Spider-Man: No Way Home and the billion dollars at the box office, let’s take this opportunity to talk briefly about Matrix: Resurrections. The film, released a week later, is clearly behind, to the point of doing worse than analysts’ estimates. It generated $ 69.8 million, including $ 47 million outside the United States and Canada. The low score in the United States is mainly due to the fact that the film was simultaneously released for streaming on the HBO Max platform. It would be interesting to know how much revenue HBO Max has generated with the new registrations, but this information is not known.
In a way, this also has an impact internationally since the film was quickly available illegally on the Internet after its release on HBO Max. International hackers who understand English were able to see it without paying a penny, which plays into the box office.
