This, despite the fact that many places are on high alert due to the new to the latest in COVID variants. It is the first film of the pandemic era to cross the billion-dollar mark globally.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is now Sony’s top-grossing domestic film of all time. It wrapped up Christmas Eve with $405.5 million in domestic ticket sales via The Hollywood Reporter. The previous record-holder for Sony was 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. No Way Home is the 49th film to cross the prestigious billion-dollar mark, and the second Spider-Man film to do so after Spider-Man: Far From Home did as well back in 2017.
