Box Office: Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Swings Past $800 Million In North America

Los Angeles, March 28 - There are films and then there is "Spider-Man: No Way Home" which has proved to be a long racehorse. The Tom Holland-starrer has stunned the trade section with its historical biz at the worldwide box office amid the covid-19 pandemic. ## The Marvel/Sony's superhero flick has done an unthinkable and crossed $800 million at the domestic (North America) box office. On its 15th weekend, it earned another $2 million, which took it past $800M at $800.5M. The movie was released in theaters worldwide in December 2021 and opened to a massive $250M+ in North America. ## At one point, the now breached box office milestone was looking a far cry. Sony Pictures, however, kept pushing the film and delayed its "Morbius" to give a chance to Spidey film to pile on the momentum which has paid off. ## "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has become only the 3rd film of all time to breach the $800M domestic milestone. Only "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936M), and "Avengers: Endgame" ($858M) have scored more than "No Way Home" domestically. Worldwide, the 3rd MCU Spider-Man movie is at number 6 with $1.88 billion. ## The film was directed by Jon Watts and written by Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. It stars Tom Holland as Peter Parker / Spider-Man alongside Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon, Jon Favreau, Jamie Foxx, Willem Dafoe, Alfred Molina, Benedict Wong, Tony Revolori, Marisa Tomei, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire.## Stay tuned...

Allu Arjun's Pushpa: The Rise Beats Biggest Bollywood Hit Of 2021, Sooryavanshi In Terms Of Footfalls

Mumbai, February 22 - Allu Arjun's "Pushpa - The Rise" has proved itself as the box office monster in Hindi, despite many challenges and low promotion. Even though it was made available on the OTT platform 4 weeks after its theatrical run, the Telugu action thriller continues to attract audiences in theaters, which has been a pleasing sight for the film industry. ## "Pushpa - The Rise" has truly been a trendsetter and surpassed many outright Bollywood films at the box office. While it will finish behind Akshay Kumar-fronted "Sooryavanshi" in terms of business, Pushpa, however, has beaten this Rohit Shetty-directed at one of the crucial aspects of theatrical terms, footfalls. ## "Sooryavanshi", which was released on Diwali 2021, attracted 11 million footfalls in theaters in India and did nearly Rs. 196 crores business at the box office. "Pushpa - The Rise", on the other hand, has invited nearly 13.10 million footfalls, which is the biggest for a Hindi movie during the covid-19 pandemic. "Pushpa", due to the low ticket prices as compared to "Sooryavanshi", has so far done the business of Rs. 105.50 crores in Hindi. ## Even though "Pushpa" falls behind "Sooryavanshi" in terms of business, the makers and Indian cinema industry will be more than happy, considering the movie has brought the audiences to the theaters in large numbers. "Sooryavanshi" too has done very well, especially knowing the fact that it was the first major Bollywood release during the health crisis. ## Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa" is a two-part release. The first of two cinematic parts depicts the rise of a coolie in the smuggling syndicate of red sandalwood, a rare wood that grows only in the Seshachalam Hills of Andhra Pradesh state. Including Hindi, the movie has done the business of over Rs. 350 crores worldwide. It also stars Rashmika Mandanna as the female lead alongside Fahadh Faasil, Jagadeesh Prathap Bandari, Sunil, Rao Ramesh, Dhananjaya, Anasuya Bharadwaj, Ajay, and Ajay Ghosh in key roles. ## Stay tuned...

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Beats 'Avatar' To Become 3rd Highest Domestic Box Officer Grosser Ever

Los Angeles, February 15 - "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is now the 3rd biggest-grossing movie at the domestic (North America) box office, beating James Cameron's 2009 sci-fi epic "Avatar's" $760.5 million. ## The total domestic gross collection of Tom Holland-fronted superhero movie has reached an estimated $760.9 million after collecting $1.6 million on Valentine's Day. There were doubts whether "No Way Home" would be able to beat "Avatar", and now, it can officially be said that it has busted those doubts and done the unimaginable in the middle of the covid-19 pandemic. ## Directed by Jon Watts, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has beaten the odds of the pandemic, however, this box office juggernaut is likely to stop with number 3 as it is unlikely to climb further heights in domestic markets. If it pushes really hard and does something which has never happened before, it will still need approx $100 million to beat "Avengers: Endgame" ($858 million) to reach 2nd spot at the domestic box office, which looks like an uphill task. "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936 million) remains in the first place. ## "Spider-Man: No Way Home", however, has played its part in glorifying the big-screen magic, in fact, it has done more than anyone had predicted at the time of the film's theatrical debut in December 2021. Meanwhile, "No Way Home" is also super strong at the international box office, and is currently the 6th biggest title at the global box office with $1.80 billion, without a single penny from China, which is the biggest movie market. ## "Avatar", meanwhile, may have slipped to 4th spot in the domestic market, it is still the king of the global box office with $2.802 billion, and will easily maintain its position without any trouble. If other movies really don't do something miraculous, only "Avatar 2", which is scheduled to release in December 2022, could come close or beat its preceeder at the worldwide box office. ## Coming back to "No Way Home", the 3rd MCU Spidey flick has shattered many records during its nearly 2-months long box office journey. During the opening weekend alone, the film landed the second-biggest domestic debut in history with $260 million and the third-largest global start ever with $600 million. It also became the first and only title to score $1 billion worldwide during the covid-19 pandemic. ## Stay tuned...

'Pushpa - The Rise' Worldwide Box Office Overtakes 'Tanhaji - The Unsung Warrior', According To Producers

Hyderabad, February 5 - The biggest Indian hit of 2021, the Telugu movie "Pushpa - The Rise", starring Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna, has successfully completed 50 days at the box office on February 4.

By surprising one and all, it registered a gigantic success in Hindi by crossing Rs. 100 crores net collection, a rarity in current circumstances for a dubbed version.## Meanwhile, the makers of "Pushpa" celebrate the movie's successful 50 days at the box office with an official social media post.

Tom Holland's Reaction To 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Box Office Success Is All Heart

Los Angeles, February 4 - The latest Spider-Man movie, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is going nuts at the worldwide box office and breaking records with each passing day. The superhero movie, fronted by Tom Holland, has already become one of the all-time highest-grossing films. ## The box office success of "No Way Home" has left everyone wondering about how did it do that and Tom Holland is no exception. During the promotional press tour of Tom Holland's upcoming movie "Uncharted", the actor was informed how close "No Way Home" is to passing "Avatar's" lifetime domestic (North America) box office total. ## Holland was asked by a journalist how he was feeling about the success of "No Way Home". As you can see in the video below, Holland had no idea just how well the movie was performing and when the journalist informs him the film is just $20 million from crossing "Avatar" domestically, Holland couldn't believe what he's hearing, even looking to his team off-camera for validation.## TOM’S FACE WHEN HE DROPS THE NEWS 😭 pic.twitter.com/FkXWBMrPMC— Cam 🎬 (@camandfilm) February 2, 2022 ## Now to fact-check the claims in the video, "No Way Home" won't become the biggest movie domestically by crossing only "Avatar" ($760M). If it crosses James Cameron-directed, it will become the 3rd biggest Hollywood movie at the domestic box office, behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936M) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($858M). ## At the worldwide box office, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is currently at the 6th spot among the all-time biggest grosser with a $1.73 billion box office total. "Avatar" is currently the number 1 movie with $2.84 billion and "Avengers: Endgame" at number w with $2.79 billion. At once, "Endgame" had overtaken "Avatar" but after the re-release in China last year, the sci-fi epic reclaimed the top spot. ## Stay tuned...

'Pushpa - The Rise' Hits Century At The Hindi Box Office

Mumbai, January 31 - As far as the box office is concerned, "Pushpa" has lived up to its title, "The Rise", and has done what most of the top Bollywood films have failed to do - to enter Rs. 100 crores net club in Hindi.## The Allu Arjun and Rashmika Manadanna-starrer is all set to become the 95th and perhaps one of the most deserving films to reach a quoted Rs. 100 crores club in Hindi in its 7th week at the box office. The action-thriller, an outright Telugu movie with minimal Hindi promotion, currently stands at Rs. 99.89 crores after the 7th weekend and will cross 100 crores on Monday. ## This box office achievement of "Pushpa - The Rise" has come at a time when most of the trade pundits ruled it out to go big. They seemed to be right after "Pushpa" (Hindi) had an average opening of Rs. 3.33 crores. However, the strong word of mouth and stardom of Allu Arjun has proved the film a long racehorse, which is nothing short of a phenomenal achievement. ## "Pushpa - The Rise's" box office journey has become even more special considering the most challenging fact that it has battled the covid-19 pandemic when there has been a closure of cinemas, restrictions, curbs, and general fear factor among the cine-goers. ## Directed by Sukumar, "Pushpa - The Rise" (Hindi) will have at least ten more days of a free run at the box office before Rajkummar Rao and Bhumi Pednekar-starrer "Badhaai Do" arrives on February 11. The reopening of cinemas in Delhi and Harayana will also be beneficial to push its lifetime Hindi total between Rs. 103 crores to Rs. 105 crores. ## Stay tuned...

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Beats The Combined Total Of Tom Holland's First Two Spider-Man Movies At Domestic Box Office

Los Angeles, January 30 - The Marvel/Sony Pictures' "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which has already broken several box office records worldwide, has now become bigger than the combined first two Spider-Man movies featuring Tom Holland at the domestic (North America) box office. ## The finale of Tom Holland's Homecoming trilogy grossed $2.75 million on its 7th Friday, pushing the film's total domestic cume to $727.6 million. The "No Way Home's" total domestic cume is $2.9 million higher than the combined total of "Spider-Man: Homecoming", and "Spider-Man: Far From Home". ## "Spider-Man: Homecoming", which was released in 2017, had grossed $334.2 million at the domestic box office, while its worldwide total reached $880.1 million. On the other hand, "Spider-Man: Far From Home", released in 2019, did better than "Homecoming" and grossed $390.5 million domestically and $1.1 billion globally.## However, there shouldn't be any comparison among all three Spider-Man movies in the Homecoming trilogy. While the first two Tom Holland-fronted Spidey flicks were released when there was no covid-19, "No Way Home" has battled the pandemic all the way and how. It is already the biggest Spider-Man movie of all time, both at the domestic and overseas box office and overall, the 6th highest-grossing movie ever at the worldwide box office.## One of the main reasons behind "No Way Home's" blockbuster box office success is the surprise elements involved in it. The movie introduces the multiverse concept into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), which allows the popular characters from the past Spider-Man movies to feature in the film. ## Directed by Jon Watts, in the film, Peter Parker (Holland) asks Dr. Stephen Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) to use magic to make his Spider-Man identity a secret again following its public revelation at the end of Far From Home. When the spell goes wrong, the multiverse is broken open which allows visitors from alternate realities to enter Parker's universe.## Stay tuned...
