“Spider-Man: No Way Home” on Sunday became the first pandemic-era movie to leap past $1 billion at the global box office after 2019`s “Star Wars: the Rise of Skywalker”. The third film in the Tom Holland-led trilogy achieved this feat despite the lengthening shadow of Omicron and the Covid-19 spike across North America and Europe, and still not having been released in the world largest cinema-going market, China, according to `Variety`.
It is also this year`s top-grossing film, streaking past China`s “The Battle at Lake Changjin” ($902 million) and the 25th James Bond film (and Daniel Craig`s last outing as 007), “No Time to Die”, which has grossed $774 million globally. Sony`s comic-book epic, according to `Variety`, has reached the milestone in a near-record 12 days, tying with 2015`s “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” as the third-fastest film to reach the billion-dollar benchmark.
Only 2018`s “Avengers: Infinity War” and 2019`s “Avengers: Endgame” were quicker, smashing the coveted tally in 11 and five days, respectively. Reporting these figures, `Variety` commented: “Those are huge box office receipts at a time when several new films (such as `The Matrix Resurrections`, `Sing 2` and `The King`s Man`) are opening nationwide to notable ticket sales.”
