A sequel often struggles to match the success of its hit predecessor. However, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the successor to the Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, has not only outshone the original but has also broken several box office records in the process. The film’s global gross reached $675 million this weekend, with $300 million of that coming from overseas markets. Over the weekend, it earned $2.9 million from 3100 screens in 63 different regions, boosting the international total and contributing to its impressive global box office earnings.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse revolved around Miles Morales (played by Shameik Moore) grappling with his newfound abilities and explored the idea that ‘anyone can wear the mask.’ In contrast, Across the Spider-Verse delves into the challenges and responsibilities that come with wearing the mask, as Miles learns to balance being a teenager, a son, and a hero. As with the original, this sequel is a testament to the tireless efforts of many animators, resulting in more than 200 unique animation styles tailored to each character and each universe, a plethora of Spider-People, and perfectly interwoven Easter Eggs.
What’s the Release Date for Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse?
The suspenseful conclusion of Across the Spider-Verse will directly precede the events of the already announced sequel, Beyond the Spider-Verse. Details about the plot remain limited, but we can anticipate Miles becoming a part of the multiverse on his own terms. The character, The Spot (voiced by Jason Schwartzman), will likely continue to be a thorn in Miles’ side, with additional Spider-People, both old and new, joining to support him.
