Combining Forbes and Deadline news, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” received $19.6 million on the second Friday of its release and ranked first, and the global box office has exceeded $920 million.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” surpassed the US$904 million of “The Battle at Lake Changjin” and became the world’s highest grossing movie in 2021.
The media predicts that “Spider-Man: No Way Home” will hit $1 billion after the end of Christmas Day on Saturday, US time, becoming the first global box office work to break $1 billion in the epidemic era.
The last $1 billion film was “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker”, which opened in December 2019.
“Spider-Man: No Way Home” will break the $1 billion global rate to equalize “Avengers 3” (11 days), and both of them have exceeded $1 billion in the absence of paintings in mainland China.
“Avengers 3” opened on April 25, 2018. It broke 1 billion globally on May 5 and was released in mainland China on May 11.

“The Matrix 4” ranked third at the box office of $2.7 million on Friday, and is expected to receive $41 million in the long weekend (5 days), which is equivalent to the “Dune” released by Warner.
These are the two highest-ranking films opened in North America by the company in 2021 (here again “thanks” for the synchronization of the HBO Max strategy).
The fourth-ranked “The King’s Man” won US$1.2 million on Friday, and the long weekend (5 days) is expected to be between US$15 and 20 million.
Spielberg’s “West Side Story” ranked fifth with $546,000 and the cumulative box office in North America was $21.6 million.
