Tom Holland is in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
Sony.
Spider-Man: No Way Home earned another $81.5 million in weekend two, a drop of 69% from its $260 million opening. The biggest drops in the second weekend of the year occurred this year. It's possible that Covid variables and differing expectations in terms of the theatrical window are to blame for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' 54% drop.
Spider-Man: No Way Home had a domestic gross of $467 million. The $200 million superhero sequel earned the ninth-biggest non- opening weekend of all time, coming in behind Frozen II, Beauty and the Beast, and The Avengers. The ten-day gross is behind only The Force Awakens and Endgame. No Way Home had a second weekend gross of $81 million, which was lower than Star Wars VII's third weekend gross of $90 million.
The Force Awakens had a unique advantage in having its second Friday fall on Christmas as it third Friday fell on New Year's Day. Despite an A+ Cinemascore and a week of 94% positive coverage, audiences did not really sour on Star Wars VIII.
It will end with between $665 million and $788 million domestic if it lasts for a few more days like the last two Star Wars sequels. It will end with $874 million if it legs like Will Smith's I Am Legend, which was worth 136 million in 2007. Spider-Man: No Way Home is expected to make $811 million, which is less than The Force Awakens.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is Sony's biggest domestic grosser ever. It is likely to pass the inflation-adjusted likes of Ghostbusters and Spider-Man if it collapses tonight. The Tom Holland/Zendaya flick has earned $587 million overseas, just shy of No Time to Die's $613 million overseas total. It will soon surpass The Rise of Skywalker to become the biggest earner of all time. Spider-Man: Far from Home and Skyfall will become Sony's biggest global earner ever. Even if it never plays in China, it will pass Frozen II in worldwide sales.
