Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter After less than two weeks of release, “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” has surpassed the entire box office run of its predecessor, 2018’s Oscar-winning “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.” Over the weekend, the comic book sequel hit $226 million in North America and $390 million globally.
It now stands as Sony’s highest-grossing animated release in history. The original film, also a box office winner, tapped out with $190 in North America and $384 million globally.
Despite competition from Paramount’s “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” which opened to $60 million and targets a similar audience of younger males, “Spider-Verse” added $55 million in its second weekend of release, a decline of $55% from its huge $120 million debut. “Across the Spider-Verse” is benefitting from strong word-of-mouth and goodwill for the original, which introduced audiences to this universe’s Spider-Man, known as Miles Morales, and brought the concept of a cinematic multiverse to the masses.
Premium large formats, including Imax, have also been important in boosting the film’s grosses. Outside of the U.S. and Canada, the top-earning territories for “Spider-Verse” include China with $34.1 million, the United Kingdom with $20.3 million, Mexico with $19.9 million and Australia with $10.9 million.
