Spider-Man beats Covid and flies to the box office

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, 01 JAN - "Spider-Man: No Way Home" continues its race to the box office. The sequel to the Spider-Man sagas came first in the box office rankings last year, grossing $ 15.4 million for a total of $ 572.6 million in the United States alone. The success of the film with Tom Holland confirms the performance in the Sony Pictures catalog which has already recorded good commercial results with "Ghostbusters: Afterlife" and "Venom: Let There Be Carnage". It's also good news for merchants who continue to have ticket sales problems due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Omicron, the latest variant that is proving particularly contagious, does not seem to have diminished public interest in Spider-Man. According to "Variety"the box office of New Year's weekend is expected to bring in another 48 million dollars, for a total of 615 million dollars: more than the box office of "Incredibles 2", making the film with Holland the tenth grossing in history.
