Triumphing over the omicron surge, the Tom Holland-led film quickly became a global holiday favorite, drawing massive crowds reminiscent of pre-pandemic times. Spanish box office data from Comscore reveals that over two million three hundred thousand viewers attended screenings in a single week, a level not seen since 2019. Globally, the film boasted the third-best opening weekend in cinema history.
Even acclaimed director Pedro Almodóvar, during a recent television appearance, hailed the film as an industry “savior,” expressing his intention to see it in theaters. However, this beacon of hope—and financial relief—doesn’t obscure the cinema industry’s precarious position in 2021. With audience numbers still significantly below pre-pandemic levels and evolving viewing habits posing an existential threat, the future of cinemas remains uncertain.
