Overview
- Sony reported that the film reached $704.5 million in North America on Wednesday and about $1.8 billion worldwide after two weekends, making it the quickest picture ever to clear $700 million domestically.
- The movie opened to a record domestic weekend of roughly $360 million and then posted an estimated $144.5 million second weekend, placing it among the top three sophomore frames in U.S. box‑office history.
- Overseas strength has been a major driver with international receipts topping about $1.108 billion and India grossing roughly Rs 520 crore in its first two weeks, where it briefly outpaced other Hollywood releases at that stage.
- The theatrical surge produced measurable spillovers for related products, with Alinea Analytics and trade reporting roughly 300,000 incremental sales of Insomniac’s Marvel’s Spider‑Man 2 and a marked rise in daily players.
- Analysts and trade outlets say continued strong holds and overseas legs could push the film past $2 billion worldwide, a result that would reshape studio franchise planning and boost ancillary revenue streams.
