Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is experiencing immense success both critically and financially, surpassing the achievements of its predecessor, Into the Spider-Verse. In its opening week, the superhero epic earned over $120 million, a remarkable feat that exceeded the original film’s debut by more than five times. As the second weekend arrived, all eyes were on Across the Spider-Verse, considering the competition from Transformers: Rise of the Beasts. However, it seems that Spider-Verse is ready to put up a strong fight at the domestic box office, with an estimated weekend earning of $55.8 million.
The movie’s impressive performance continues with a strong second Friday showing, raking in $16.6 million from 4,332 theaters across the United States. This brings the film’s current total to $186.6 million, and if this trend continues, Across the Spider-Verse’s domestic gross will reach a staggering $225.9 million. To put this into perspective, the sequel will surpass the lifetime domestic earnings of Into the Spider-Verse, which stood at $190 million, in just two weekends. Furthermore, the estimated second weekend gross for Across the Spider-Verse is over three times higher than Into the Spider-Verse, which made $16.5 million during the same weekend.
The soaring success of Across the Spider-Verse can be attributed not only to the popularity of its predecessor but also to the fact that it has taken everything great about the original and elevated it to new heights. The animation is breathtakingly creative, and the narrative is deeply character-driven, eliciting emotional responses from Spider-Man fans. Even for those who are not avid Marvel or Web-Head enthusiasts, the film offers a profound depth in every frame, providing audiences with a topic of discussion for months to come.
Just a week after its release, the internet is already buzzing with theories and discussions about the hidden details within the film. What makes Across the Spider-Verse remarkable is its ability to be a simple or profound cinematic experience, depending on the viewer’s preference. Many fans have noticed the film’s exploration of themes such as identity and police corruption, but these are just the surface-level aspects of Spider-Verse’s vast thematic landscape. As the release of Beyond the Spider-Verse approaches next year, the conversation surrounding this expansive universe will only continue to grow.
