The latest record claimed by the Marvel epic sees it leap a Hollywood classic, as Spider-Man: No Way Home surpasses Titanic on the all-time highest domestic box office list; now firmly standing at the sixth-highest ever, in the film’s fourth week in theaters.
The film has grossed over $668 Million, with a very real possibility of passing the fifth film on the all-time domestic box office, Avengers: Infinity War, which stands at having earned less than $10 million more than Spider-Man: No Way Home current gross.

With the film celebrating over 20 years of Spider-Man on the big screen, the response to the film was certainly warranted: in my humble personal opinion, Spider-Man: No Way Home is perhaps the greatest Peter Parker story ever told.
What makes the feat even more impressive is that the film’s success has come well into the pandemic era, with the latest COVID variants continuing to impede the film’s box office.

Prior to Spider-Man: No Way Home, no film of the pandemic era had surpassed a $100 million opening weekend, a number that the Marvel and Sony epic has easily doubled.
Featuring a return of the character’s most iconic on-screen villains, and the return of past portrayers of Peter Parker, the film followed on the footsteps of WandaVision and Loki opening up the concept of the multiverse to the greater MCU and rewarded the nearly year-long speculation that engulfed the fan base leading up to its release.

Fans were certainly not disappointed, and Spider-Man: No Way Home has certainly solidified itself as one of the most iconic comic book adaptions of all time.
