Spider-Man: No Way Home surpasses Jurassic World and The Lion King to become the 6th highest-grossing film of all time
The ‘Spider-Man: Nowhere’ juggernaut refuses to stop at the global box office. The film is now the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time, with $1.69 billion worldwide.
Over the weekend, Marvel and Sony films overtook Jurassic World ($1.67 billion) and The Lion King ($1.66 billion) to become the sixth highest-grossing movie of all time. Considering that all the movies in the top five grossed more than $2 billion, No Way Home looks unlikely to rise further.
But it was no easy feat for Jon Watts’ director to get this far. For one thing, the movie wasn’t released in China, which is usually one of the biggest overseas markets for all Hollywood movies. Then, unlike other films in the billion dollar club, No Way Home had to deal with Covid-19 pandemic restrictions in different parts of the world.
But even a resurgence of the virus — via the Omicron variant — couldn’t stop the film. In its sixth week in theaters, “Nowhere to Go” remains the No. 1 film at the U.S. box office after being briefly replaced by the horror flick “Scream.”
Films starring Tom Holland are also doing very well in India, despite the closure of theaters in several parts of the country due to the rise in Omicron cases. Its total revenue in India to date is Rs 2.12 billion (just over $28 million). In the era of the pandemic, only two other films have crossed the Rs 200 crore mark in India, Sooryavanshi and Pushpa: The Rise.
Highest grossing films of all-time (as per BoxOfficeMojo.com)
1) Avatar (2009) $2.847 billion
2) Avengers: Endgame (2019) $2.797 billion
3) Titanic (1997) $2.187 billion
4) Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) $2.068 billion
5) Avengers: Infinity War (2018) $2.048 billion
6) Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) $1.691 billion
7) Jurassic World (2015) $1.671 billion
8) The Lion King (2019) $1.656 billion
9) The Avengers (2012) $1.518 billion
10) Furious 7 (2015) $1.516 billion

Jennifer Lopez ‘let go of her’ high-heeled ego while working with Ben Affleck
As Jennifer Lopez navigates her separation from Ben Affleck, she prioritizes her career, notably in the film Unstoppable.
Jennifer Lopez has “let go of her ego” to prioritise her career and personal growth as she navigates her separation from Ben Affleck.
The 55-year-old actress and singer, during an interview with Amazon/MGM, opened up about working on the upcoming film Unstoppable, a project she co-starred in while estranged from her husband.
“It was an honour to be a part of Anthony [Robles] and to play Judy,” Jennifer shared. “I approached the role with a complete lack of ego where you have to go in there and have so much respect for the person you are playing because it’s her story.”
“I disappeared, there was no Jennifer, no J. Lo. That person on the screen is just Judy. Luckily, I got to spend time with her and see who she was alone and as a mother.”

Affleck praises Lopez’s ‘spectacular’ performance
Affleck and Matt Damon produced the film, which tells the inspiring story of 36-year-old wrestler Anthony Robles.
JLo portrays Judy Robles, Anthony’s mother. Affleck also highly praised Jennifer’s performance, calling her “spectacular.”
“Unstoppable is a very different movie than [Small Things Like These], but in a way it’s similarly rooted in the passion of really talented artists,” Ben told Entertainment Toninght just couple of weeks back. “Billy Goldenberg and Jennifer and Don Cheadle and Jharrel and Bobby Cannavale – all of whom were really passionate about this film.”
After reuniting and marrying in 2022, Jennifer filed for divorce in August 2024. Reports of marital struggles, including living separately, surfaced months before the filing.
“He’s focusing on his work and his kids now,” an insider told InTouch Weekly. “Ben already moved out … They’ll never stop loving each other, but she can’t control him, and he can’t change her.”
