Not only did the film also surpass the monstrous opening weekend of Star Wars The Force Awakens– the heralded return of one of movie history’s most beloved franchsie- but it also is now Sony’s highest opening weekend ever.

To achieve such a feat, the film would have to surpass the $257 Million opening weekend by Avengers: Infinity War; the massive precursor to the final installment of the MCU’s Infinity Saga, and easily one of Marvels biggest movies to date.
There are many who will point to Marvel Studios unchallenged success at the box office as the reasoning as to why the film was destined to succeed financially; but Eternals proved this not to be the case, as Spider-Man: No Way Home has already almost doubled the opening box office of that film.

The film has benefitted greatly from nearly a year of fan theories and expectations for the anticipated arrival of Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The masterclass in the character of Peter Parker that the movie ended up being, has found its reward in the audience’s commitment to see the film despite the times were in.
