Since 'Avengers: Endgame' movie theaters had not raised so much in the US or in Spain Spider-Man: No Way Home has been a relief for movie theaters.

has been a relief for movie theaters.

Since its premiere last Thursday in Spain, it has raised 9.3 million euros, of which 7 million were obtained during the weekend.

According to Comscore, the company that audits the box office, last Friday, Saturday and Sunday 1.4 million Spaniards went to the cinema (on Saturday they reached 500,000), a number of spectators that had not been reached since January 2020, just before the pandemic.

The previous releases in Spain of other superhero films, such as

Venom: there will be slaughter

(which also comes from the Spider-Man world) and

Eternals,

did not reach these figures anywhere: respectively, they started with 3,263,000 euros (on October 15 ) and with 2,586,062 euros (on November 5).

In the United States, the box office has reached so far that it has become the third best premiere in the history of that territory —in the cinema, the box office does not go by countries but by territories, and in that case the United States and Canada are grouped together— with a collection of 224 million euros (253 million dollars).

It has only lagged behind the releases of

Avengers: Endgame

(2019), which grossed $ 357.1 million at its start, and

Avengers: Infinity War

(2018), which made $ 257.7 million.

Spider-Man: No Way Home

it has surpassed any analyst forecast. Added to the 60 markets, and the more than 38,900 screens, in which it was released last weekend, it has raised 587.2 million dollars in five days (in some territories it started on Wednesday). And it accumulates more records: it is the sixth film in history to exceed 500 million dollars during its theatrical debut (the first in the pandemic) and it is the best opening weekend for Sony.

Worldwide, the third installment in which Spider-Man is played by Tom Holland has not left room for other titles. In the US, the total box office was 275.3 million, of which 253 came from this title. In Spain, the second film to collect has been another premiere, the comedy

Mom or Dad,

which has grossed 490,000 euros. The data that clarifies the success of

Spider-Man: No Way Home

resides in that she alone has entered 80% of everything won in Spanish theaters last weekend.

Venom: there will be a massacre

has accumulated 8.8 million euros, so

Spider-Man 3

is not yet the highest grossing film of 2021 in Spain, although it will achieve it next week. In the United States, it has beaten that mark and has also claimed a collateral victim:

The Alley of Lost Souls,

by Guillermo del Toro. This film also opened this weekend, but enters a disappointing fifth position in the

ranking.

box office with only 2.66 million euros; For this reason, as can be seen in the complaints of many viewers on Twitter, the US theaters are removing it from the screens and instead are programming more Spider-Man shows, thus returning the money from the pre-sales made to viewers. for the Del Toro film for this week that starts. In Spain

The Alley of Lost Souls

will arrive on January 28, 2022.

In Spain,

Avengers: Endgame

was screened at its start on 40% of the cinema screens that existed in April 2019 (it could be seen in more than 1,400), and during its first weekend it earned 10.2 million euros (It was 75% of the total of all films), surpassing the previous mark of the last installment of

Twilight

-

Amanecer (Part 2)

went up to 9.2 million euros in Spain in November 2012 - and reaching, with the previous Thursday, the 12.2 million euros at the box office.

Spider-Man: No Way Home,

by Jon Watts, takes place within the Marvel universe, like the two previous installments, thanks to the fact that its protagonist, Tom Holland, supported by millions of fans, managed to get them to sign the Sony (owner of the Spider-Man rights in cinema) and the Marvel studio.

It has returned theaters to pre-pandemic times and underlines the strength at the box office (at least in the Spanish and the American, since in Germany and France until two weeks ago there were viewers as in 2019) of Marvel films.

Although there are exceptions, and Marvel / Disney is still suffering another bad start, that of

Eternals,

which in Spain has 7.2 million euros after six weeks on the bill.
