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.
