NEWS: ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ Hits BIG Numbers on Its Opening Night

Spider-Man: No Way Home is a film that many Marvel fans have long been anticipating, and now it has finally arrived!

When tickets for the movie first went on sale, they were selling FAST! Just a trailer for the movie set an all-time record for Marvel. Last night, fans started being able to watch the film. Now we’ve got an update on just how much money the film has made (spoiler alert: it’s a lot).

According to CNBC, Spider-Man: No Way Home hit $50 million in ticket sales just from the Thursday previews of the movie. CNBC shares that this a “pandemic-era best.” But it’s not just a big number for the pandemic. It’s also the third highest in cinematic history, only falling behind Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore called this a “monumental debut.” Cinemark has indicated that it had its biggest U.S. box office opening night with the new Spider-Man movie. Fandango said it “set the record for top ticket seller of the year in addition to being the hottest flick for Thursday previews since ‘Avengers: Endgame.'”

Previously, box office analysts had anticipated that No Way Home would surpass $100 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. Now, it seems some might be thinking Spider-Man can swing further.

Now some analysts are boosting estimates closer to $200 million! Paul Dergarabedian said “Everyone who thought the movie theater wouldn’t return…just didn’t understand the power of a movie and a character like Spider-Man to bring passionate movie fans to the multiplex.”
