Thompson has amassed $663 million. In comparison, Into the Spider-Verse concluded its run with $190 million domestically and a worldwide gross of $384 million.
As with its predecessor, which claimed an unexpected Best Animated Feature award at the Oscars, Across the Spider-Verse has garnered stellar reviews from audiences and critics alike. With a remarkable 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has been termed “one of the best films of 2023” by Ross Bonaime from FilmSweep in his review.
