Box Office Results: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Spins a Mighty Web
After nearly a dozen films, Spider-Man continues to slay at the box office. A few years back, Spider-Man: No Way Home exploded with a $260 million opening, and now Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse just took in a massive $120M in its debut, marking an enormous jump from Into the Spider-Verse’s $35M opening, per Deadline.
Who saw this coming? No one. Most estimates pegged the film at $90-100M, but after a terrific $51M Friday (including previews) and a minor 28% dip on Saturday, Across the Spider-Verse swung past expectations and made a surprising splash. Worldwide, the pic collected $208M, including $17.8M from China.
Spidey amassed $20M worldwide from Imax, second best for an animated flick behind Super Mario Bros.’ $21M. How high can this Spidey swing? The next few months are jam-packed with potential blockbusters, namely Transformers: Rise of the Beasts, The Flash, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and Mission: Impossible — Dark Fate Part One. Can Spidey stave off the competition?
The Little Mermaid, meanwhile, dipped a sharp 69% and grossed $40.6M in its sophomore frame, increasing its domestic total to $186M. Worldwide, the Disney adventure has amassed over $326M (per TheNumbers.com).
