Spiderman broke the premiere record with $ 253 million in revenue

It recorded the third highest premiere of all time, surpassing the Boxoffice Pro forecast of $ 224 million, as well as Sony's own forecast.

North American cinemas have been "blocked" by Spider-Man fans, breaking the premiere record at the weekend, especially for a movie that was released amid a pandemic.

"Spider-Man: No Way Home" grossed $ 253 million in ticket sales in the United States and Canada, the Sony Group said in a statement. The film, which was made in conjunction with the Marvel division of Walt Disney Co., recorded the third highest premiere of all time, surpassing the Boxoffice Pro forecast of $ 224 million, as well as Sony's own forecast.

The two recent "Avengers" movies had their biggest weekend debuts in movie history, although "No Way Home" is well ahead of the "Star Wars" and "Jurassic World" franchises.

International theaters brought in an additional $ 334,2 million, Sony said. Among solo markets, it was the second highest opening of all time in Brazil and the second highest for a Hollywood film in India.

Sales were enough to immediately make "No Way Home" the highest grossing film released in the US this year. Sony relied on audiences aged 18 to 34, which accounted for 62% of all tickets.

Unlike many other movies released during the pandemic, "No Way Home" was only available in theaters. The results "confirm the unparalleled cultural impact that exclusive theatrical films can have," Sony Film Group President Tom Rothman said in a statement.
