Spider-Man: No Way Home tops North American box office in 6

23.01.2022

After spending a weekend in second place, Spider-Man: No Way Home proved it still had some fight left. Sony's superhero juggernaut swung back to the first place in theaters in its sixth weekend and became the sixth highest grossing film of all time, globally.

The film topped the North American charts with $14.1 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. It's now worth nearly $1.7 billion, passing the total earnings of both The Lion King and Jurassic World. Its $721 million makes it the fourth biggest release in North America.

Peter Parker stole the first place back from Scream, which fell about 59% — a typical drop for a horror — in its second weekend, with an estimated $12.4 million in ticket sales. The release of the movie has generated $51.3 million.

Universal and Illumination's Sing 2 landed in third place in its fifth weekend, with $5.7 million. The animated title has earned $241.2 million worldwide.

There was little competition for the holdovers to contend with this weekend. The only two new offerings nationwide in theaters were comparatively lower-profile releases: The King's Daughter, a fairy tale with Pierce Brosnan that was filmed in 2014 and held until now with $750,000 from over 2,000 locations, and Redeeming Love, a faith-based historical romance with Nina Dobrev that cracked the top five with $3.7 million.

There are estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters. The final domestic figures will be released on Monday.
