The latest movie of the arachnid superhero has been in theaters in the US for seven weeks now, but that has not prevented ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ leads the box office once more with 11 million dollars raised last weekend. Thus, the adventure starring Tom Holland and Zendaya is already the fourth highest-grossing film in US history with a total collection of 735 million dollars, which brings it closer to the third place of ‘Avatar’, which grossed 760 million in 2009.
If ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ maintains its good sales pace, despite the fact that the pandemic has reduced attendance at theaters, it would only have ‘Avengers: Endgame’ (2019) and ‘Star Wars: Episode VII -The awakening of the force’ (2015), which exceeded 850 million dollars.
For its part, ‘Scream’ remained on the second rung among the public’s options and brought in $7.2 million over the weekend. ‘Scream’ has successfully returned to theaters on the 25th anniversary of its debut, with a fifth installment that includes a good part of the original cast -Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox and David Arquette- and in which Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett take over from Wes Craven – who died in 2015 – in the direction. Since its premiere three weeks ago, the new film has already made 60 million dollars, a figure considerably better than that of the last installment of the franchise, ‘Scream 4’, which in 2011 entered only 38 million and was a resounding failure.
Finally, the lively ‘Canta 2’ was placed as the third option with 4.6 million dollars, ahead of ‘Redeeming Love’, which accumulated 1.7 million, and ‘The King’s Man: The first mission’, with 1.6 million.
As an anecdote, there was the bad premiere of Woody Allen’s latest film, which only raised $24,000 since it was only screened in 26 theaters in the US, more than a year following its debut at the 2020 San Sebastian Festival.
