Unsurprisingly, Sony Pictures and Marvel’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” won the New Year’s weekend, pulling in another $52.7 million domestically and making the Top 10 of all-time list with $609.9 million through Sunday.
It even helped push overall U.S. domestic revenue for the year to $4.5 billion, up on last week’s estimates of $4.4 billion. Globally the film has managed to rack up a total of $1.37 billion so far, making it the twelfth highest-grossing film of all time worldwide.
“Sing 2” stayed in second place over the holiday with $19.6 million domestically and $17.2 million internationally for a global total of $144.6 million worldwide so far. That domestic haul is a drop of just 12% from its first weekend and suggests it’ll have legs.
Faring less well are “The Matrix Resurrections” and “The King’s Man”. The former dropped to fifth place with $3.8 million, plunging 64% in its second weekend with some of that impact potentially being the film’s availability on HBO Max. Overseas, where it’s a theatrical exclusive, the film is performing better and stands at $75.1 million of its just over $100 million total haul so far.
“The King’s Man” came in third with $4.5 million, a drop of 24%, with the film earning $49 million worldwide so far. The faith-based football drama “American Underdog” came in fourth with an estimated $4.1 million.
“West Side Story” continued to flounder with a further $2.1 million for totals of $29.5 million domestic and $52.7 million worldwide.
