Spider-Man: No Way Home thwipped passed Avatar to become the number three top domestic box-office movie, leaving Avengers: End Game and Star Wars: the Force Awakens as its last two challengers to dominating domestic cume.
Deadline: Early industry estimates Tuesday morning spotted that Sony’s Spider-Man: No Way Home finally outstripped the $760.5 million take of James Cameron’s 2009 sci-fi spectacle Avatar, becoming the third-highest-grossing movie of all time at the domestic box office with a running total of $760.988M. Sony has made that figure official.
This feat comes after a solid $1.615M Valentine’s Day haul at 3,300 theaters for the Jon Watts-directed pic starring Tom Holland, Zendaya and Benedict Cumberbatch.
Spider-Man: No Way Home accomplishes the feat in 60 days, in the ninth week of release off a pure theatrical window. It took Avatar roughly nine months of release (getting it to $749.7M, per Box Office Mojo), plus an additional 2010 re-release ($10.7M) to get the movie at $760.5M.
Spider-Man: No Way Home has held the No. 1 spot at the domestic box office for six out of its nine weekends of release.
