No Way Home is a blockbuster as if it had never been an epidemic

The third film in the Spider-Man modern trilogy exploits the full potential of the Multiverse and gives one of the three best international openings ever, in the days when many thought this was simply impossible

One of the areas that has been particularly hard hit in the Corona era is the world of cinema on its many levels, when even after the gradual opening of theaters at the end of the closure it was not difficult to understand why the concept of sitting close to strangers for nearly two consecutive hours did not appeal to many. Close in the past. Some production companies tried to find creative solutions to the challenges with movie launches in streaming services in parallel with cinema and even in the revival of drive-in screenings, but this was only a partial success, at best, and 2021 eventually introduced numbers that pale in comparison to the industry 2019. Then, just before the final whistle, Spider-Man arrived.

Despite the growing real concern about a new international epidemic wave with omicron time, Spider-Man: No Way Home was launched worldwide based on the great fondness for previous episodes in the current booted version of Spider-Man plots and of course the mega-successful Avengers: Endgame events to push Himself forward – and the result obtained has managed to surpass even the most rosy expectations of the most optimistic factors in the environment, it seems.

Sony’s decision to partner with Disney and allow the superheroes from Marvel it owns to fit into the expanded cinematic universe is now proving itself – in a very exciting way

The new film grossed $ 260 million in North America alone on the first weekend of its launch (from early Thursday night screenings to the end of Sunday), plus about $ 341 million from 60 different countries around the world – en route to a whopping $ 601 million Worldwide the first weekend of launch, which puts it in third place in the all-time list in fact. Who are there before him? The Avengers, of course: Only Avengers: Infinity War with an international launch of $ 640 million and Avengers: End Game with a completely crazy figure of $ 1.223 billion are ahead of No Way Home, which does not exactly detract from the magnitude of the achievement considering that until a few days ago it was predicted The film has an optimistic international opening with revenues of over $ 300 million “only”.

Spider-Man: No Way Home enjoys the best opening for a movie in the world of Spider-Man and the best opening ever for a Sony Studios movie, when it makes sense to estimate that in a few weeks it will become the most lucrative Spider-Man movie and Sony’s most lucrative movie in general terms, thanks For very good responses from both the professional critics and regular floats who were enthusiastic about the bold multiverse concept for the character. However, closures are tightening in different countries around the world and a swing in the number of people infected with Omicron could undoubtedly hurt the title’s potential to continue to rake in large sums around the globe further down its cinematic path.

Is it the fear of online spoilers that has pushed millions to see the film as soon as possible? The income in the coming weeks will help us understand the situation better

This great success proved to us, even for a short time, that it is too early to eulogize the cinematic medium despite the dismal two years in the shadow of the Corona – the audience is still ready to storm the halls, if only it had the opportunity to do so.
