The best part of the movie is that all of the iconic Spider-Man villains are returning which apparently enhances the enjoyment of “No Way Home.” However, if you haven’t seen the Spider-Man movies in order, then we’d recommend watching them before hitting the cinemas. There’s no harm if you don’t, but then you won’t understand why everyone is getting so excited during the movie. Rest assured, it’s become one of the best movies in the MCU timeline.
After a couple of jaded years at the box office, it appears that Spider-Man: No Way Home has broken the jinx and managed to come out on top in the list of watch Marvel movies in order.
When the movie’s release date was first announced, there was much hype about Spider-Man: No Way Home set to break records, and it definitely has. Sony is quoting the incredible figures for the opening weekend for Spider-Man: No Way Home at $253M which is the best December domestic opening. Not just that, it’s the best ever for Sony and the 3rd best ever among all movies surpassing 2015’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens domestic opening of $247.9M.
Worldwide Spider-Man: No Way Home hit the 3rd best global debut with $587.2M after Avengers: Endgame ($1.22 billion) and Avengers: Infinity War ($640.5M) considering the fact that it’s without China.

Moreover, No Way Home also performed impressively over the weekend as it reached $73.8M on Saturday, which is also the third-best Saturday ever domestically. Sunday is also looking imposing with $57.350M. The sequel is $4.7M from outdoing Avengers: Infinity War‘s $257.698M opening as the second-best national debut ever.
Since Spider-Man: No Way Home was released in unfavorable conditions, those numbers appear more outlandish. To put it into context, it surpassed the opening weekends of every single Star Wars movie taking out Star Wars: The Force Awakens of 2015 which debuted at $247.966M.

Is the new blockbuster movie really giving the boost to cinema that was much needed? In a way yes taking a look at the crowd of people that are out and the revenue Spider-Man: No Way Home is proving to be the cinema saver. Even though the movie was not released in the most cine friendly conditions aimed at the pandemic and Covid’s new variation Omicron insight. But clearly, it did not have the slightest mark on the Spider-Man: No Way Home release. The revenue numbers seem crazy. The movie seems to become the highest-grossing movie of the year and also Sony Productions the record successful release ever.
