Spider-Man: No Way Home has delivered one of the best opening weekends of all time, having grossed an estimated $587.2 million (about Rs. 4,468 crore) since its release last week at the worldwide box office.
Spider-Man: No Way Home registered a good start at the Indian box office as Tom Holland’s film earned Rs 32.67 crore on its opening day. As Marvel enjoys a massive fan following, the day one collection of Spider-Man was the highest among all the Hindi and English films that were released in 2021. The film has seen good growth. It’s the third-largest launch for any Hollywood movie — behind only Avengers: Endgame and Avengers: Infinity War — and the biggest yet for Sony Pictures for all time. The numbers indicate that the film will beat out Akshay Kumar’s Sooryavanshi to become the highest-grossing film at Box Office. Spider-Man: No Way Home dominated box office charts around the world with a global total of $587.2 million, the third biggest opening ever.

Spider-Man: No Way Home nets the second-biggest opening weekend of all time for Hollywood films in India. India features in the top markets for the film worldwide, being the fifth biggest weekend opener in International markets.
“This weekend’s historic Spider-Man: No Way Home results, from all over the world and in the face of many challenges, reaffirm the unmatched cultural impact that exclusive theatrical films can have when they are made and marketed with vision and resolve,” said Tom Rothman, Sony Pictures Chairman, and CEO, in a statement. “All of us at Sony Pictures are deeply grateful to the fabulous talent, both in front of and behind the camera that produced such a landmark film.”
The film continues the story of Holland’s Peter Parker after his identity is outed by JK Simmons’ J Jonah Jameson. The fallout forces him to enlist the help of Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange to perform a ritual that would make every single person on earth forget Parker’s identity. But the ritual goes wrong when Peter tries to interfere, and supervillains from previous Spider-Man film series are brought to MCU.
Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, and Jamie Foxx, Thomas Haden Church, and Rhys Ifans return.
