Spider-Man Reaches $2.2 Billion to Become Sixth-Highest Global Box Office

The surge signals a strong summer rebound for theaters that has pushed the film into Brazil’s top five by admissions.

Overview

The film crossed roughly US$2.20–2.21 billion during the Aug. 21–23 weekend and moved into sixth place on the all-time global box-office list.
In Brazil the movie completed a month at number one with R$341.6 million in gross receipts and about 14.9 million admissions, placing it among the country’s top five by audience.
The United States also saw a month-long run at number one, with the film earning about US$39 million over the Aug. 21–23 period.
Industry executives attribute the film’s strength to a robust Northern Hemisphere summer season and strong youth-focused horror releases that boosted overall cinema attendance.
Box-office trackers report slightly different totals, but the film remains in contention to close the gap with Titanic’s US$2.26 billion as its run continues and rankings stay fluid.
