Not only has Spider-Man: No Way Home secured its sixth domestic weekend box office, but it has also become one of the rare films to cross $1 billion overseas.
As reported by Variety, Spider-Man: No Way Home added another $11 million to its domestic total and surpassed $735 million at the North American box office. While it still remains the fourth-highest grossing domestic release in history, it is currently $25 million away from passing Avatar's $760 million for third place.
No Way Home may very well pass Avatar at the domestic box office, but it still has a long way to go to topple its global first place spot with $2.8 billion. Despite that, No Way Home passed another impressive milestone and crossed the $1 billion mark overseas. It has also done so without the help of China, which just so happens to be "the world's biggest moviegoing market." In total, No Way Home has earned $1.74 billion globally and sits at the sixth-highest earning movie of all time at the worldwide box office.
Scream, which bested Spider-Man: No Way Home in its opening weekend, took second place with $7.3 million. This was a 40% drop week-over-week, but Scream continues to shoot past its production budget of $25 million as it now has earned $106.2 million globally.
Sing 2 placed third with $4.8 million, bringing its global tally to $134 million and continuing to raise its record as the highest-grossing animated film during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Redeeming Love placed fourth with $1.85 million and The King's Man rounded out the top five with $1.8 million. The latest entry in the Kingsman franchise has also crossed $100 million globally.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is in for a bit of competition next week as both Moonfall and Jackass Forever will be released in theaters on February 4, 2022.
