I have been adamantly following the box-office receipts of “Spider-Man: No Way Home” because, quite frankly, it represents hope. Before it opened, I had no hope about the future of moviegoing in the pandemic-era, but ‘No Way Home’ has proven that there is still an immense audience ready to go back to theaters.
With that being said, “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” just surpassed “Avengers: Infinity War” as, domestically, the fifth highest-grossing film of all-time. If it makes makes over $22 million this weekend, it’ll squeeze its way past “Black Panther” at the #4 spot.
This is unprecedented stuff.
1) Star Wars — Episode VII: The Force Awakens $963 million
2) Avengers: Endgame $858 million
3) Avatar $760 million
4) Black Panther $700 million
5) Spider-Man: No Way Home $678 million
