“Spider Man” On His Way Home: The Web Starts to Unravel as Mega Hit in Daily Box Office Decline

Share

The great, dizzying success of “Spider Man: No Way Home” is coming to an end.

Yesterday the mega hit earned just $3.925 million, which is a lot for a Wednesday but the continuation of a sudden decline.

Is there anyone who hasn’t seen this movie who wants to? I doubt it. And a few times, at that. The total box office is $635,736,417. In 21 days, “No Way Home” has become the 8th most successful movie in history.

But all good things must come to an end. Starting this past Monday, “NWH” dropped 55%, and kept going day to day. With the Omicron raging, and the audience pretty much fulfilled, “No Way Home” will drop even further this weekend. The irony is that it could be the number 1 movie because of the environment and lack of releases. But Peter Parker and pals are ready to wrap it up.

Now maybe people with cabin fever will go sample the really great films available to them in safe theaters: “West Side Story,” “Belfast,” “Parallel Mothers,” have some fun with “House of Gucci,” even try “Nightmare Alley.” Up your game, folks, it’s worth it!
