Sony/Marvel Studios

Although it was always expected that Spider-Man: No Way Home would be the biggest movie of 2021, no one could have foreseen just how big the film would get beyond that. This weekend saw more records falling to the might of Tom Holland’s friendly neighborhood Spider-Man as the movie of the moment stormed into the Top 10 worldwide movies of all time by not only passing former number ten Frozen II, but also 2012’s The Avengers and Furious 7 to claim the number 8 spot with both The Lion King and Jurassic World in its sights.

Of course, depending on how you break down the global box office, the film has overtaken some movies on one list but not on another. When it comes down to it though, there is no denying that in the current climate Spider-Man: No Way Home has proven that audiences will return to cinemas for the right movie, and considering the film has now grossed double the nearest Hollywood blockbuster and doesn’t seem to be slowing down yet with another huge haul at the weekend box office. Here are just a few of the Charts that Spider-Man: No Way Home has charged into over the last few weeks.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home

    The pandemic’s impact on cinema audience numbers has been as unpredictable as the Covid virus itself, with movies that should have drawn people in failing to break $100 million on their opening weekends and that included offerings from Marvel. While some movies weren’t helped out by dual releases on streaming platforms, there is also another issue that has mostly been ignored when it comes to the reason why so many films have continued to struggle to perform.

    Decades ago, a new movie released in cinemas would not see a home media release for around a year, with the film then taking at least another year to be seen on TV. Thanks to the pandemic, those unsure whether to venture out to a cinema have only a couple of months to wait to get their hands on their own copy of new movies making it much more likely that some will just wait rather than spend so much money to see a movie once then they can see it so soon after in the comfort of their own homes.

    Regardless of this, Spider-Man: No Way Home’s continued dominance of the box office must have given Marvel Studios a good feeling about some of their upcoming movies this year with strong returns expected for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Thor: Love and Thunder and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It is also an undeniable sign that the demand for more MCU movies is certainly not waning in any way.
