‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ Dominates the Global Box Office Multiverse
The worldwide sensation, ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,’ produced by Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation, continues to impress on a global scale, with a cumulative total of $560.3 million achieved to date. Its success owes much to the international market, which has contributed a remarkable $243.2 million to this astounding accomplishment. In its latest weekend, the film earned an impressive $22.0 million from over 17,350 screens across 63 markets. Notably, the movie’s holdover performance remained robust, with a collective market decline of only 37%.
Following a stellar debut, ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ faced fierce competition in subsequent weeks, briefly conceding its top position to ‘Transformers: Rise of the Beasts’ and ‘The Flash,’ both capturing the attention of moviegoers. However, as those films experienced a decline, ‘Across the Spider-Verse’ gracefully swung back into the lead, grossing an impressive $19.3 million in its fourth weekend. This achievement propelled the film’s cumulative domestic earnings to an impressive $317 million. Just last week, the movie crossed the remarkable milestone of half a billion dollars worldwide.
