'Spider-Man: No Way Home' scores second-biggest opening weekend ever

All anybody wanted for the holidays was Spider-Man: No Way Home, apparently.

"Sony’s epic finale in the Tom Holland-led comic book trilogy collected a mind-blowing $260 million in North American theaters over the weekend, above Sunday’s estimates of $253 million," Variety's Rebecca Rubin relayed Monday (Dec. 20). "It means No Way Home has now surpassed Avengers: Infinity War ($257 million) to land the second-biggest debut in Hollywood history behind only Avengers: Endgame ($357 million). Not bad for pandemic times."

Rubin added that No Way Home collected $340.8 million from 60 markets overseas to net $600.8 million at the global box office.

The Jon Watts-directed movie earned $50 million in Thursday night previews, the best such mark during the pandemic.

Holland debuted as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in 2016's Captain America: Civil War before beginning his trilogy with Spider-Man: Homecoming in 2017. The 25-year-old actor also portrayed the iconic superhero in Infinity War (2018) and Endgame (2019).
