The Greatest Opening of All Time: "Spider-Man: No Way Home" Breaking Records | Israel today

Even the Corona plague is unable to defeat Spider-Man.

As expected, "There's No Way Home," the new movie from Marvel and Sony starring Spider-Man, while smashing movie theaters, it also smashed all the early predictions.

According to updated estimates for today (Sunday), the comic book hit starring Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), and many other good actors, not to mention their names due to spoilers, is expected to rake in more than $ 253 million at the North American box office alone. .

The film will break several local and international records, including the biggest opening for a superhero solo film ever, the biggest opening for December of all time, the biggest opening for a film produced by Sony Studios (unlike the other films that take place in the Marvel cinematic universe, films Spider-Man's solos are produced and distributed by Sony (in collaboration with Marvel), and note this: the third best opening in North America ever for any movie.

"No Way Home" pushed from third place "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" from 2015 ($ 248 million), and currently lags only behind "The Avengers: Infinity War" ($ 257 million) and "The Avengers: The End of the Game" ($ 357 million) dollar).

Spider-Man (and also Doctor Strange) appear in all three of these films, and no it's no coincidence.

Also, "No Way Home" is squinting toward international revenues of about half a billion dollars on its first weekend on screens around the world, and that does not yet include China - which is not yet known when the film will hit it.

These figures are no less astonishing, mainly because of the corona plague and the outbreak of the Omicron variant, which despite the new restrictions, in some countries simply could not be the superhero.

Also the excellent reviews, the surprising (and unprecedented) twists and the fact that the film was not launched at the same time on streaming services, spurred masses of viewers to leave the house and watch the latest adventure, for now, of Spider-Man.

To be continued.

The final figures will probably be released tomorrow, and there is little chance that the film will even push "Infinity War" out of second place.
