'Spider-Man' earned millions over the weekend

A new sequel to the Spiderman movie came to theaters, and there doesn't seem to be enough tickets for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ for everyone. The film premiere was on December 17, and many fans on social media complain that the ticket-buying sites didn’t work.

Big pre-pandemic films like ‘Avengers: The Endgame’ from 2019 and new films ‘Star Wars' in the last decade have also overwhelmed cinema pages when tickets were first released – and still broke records at the box office.

"Spider-Man: A Road Without Return", the latest film about the adventures of Spider-Man, achieved the third best result of all time in North America, earning $ 253 million over the weekend, according to a provisional estimate by the specialized agency Exhibitor Relations released on Sunday.

This movie, eagerly awaited by Hollywood and the film industry brought to its knees by the covid-19 pandemic, was surpassed only by "Avengers: Endgame" ($ 357 million) and "Avengers: Infinity War" ($ 258 million) in the annals of the most-watched movies in the United States and Canada.

This is also the most watched film by Sony.

"Spider-Man: A Road Without Return" is the third film in which the popular Spider-Man is played by the British Tom Holland. And past episodes in which Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield wore a red-and-blue costume have experienced record ratings in movie theaters.

The story continues where “Far from Home” ends (2019), with Spider-Man whose true identity, Peter Parker, is publicly revealed by the wicked Mysterio.

The plot of the movie revolves around Holland who plays Peter Parker trying to erase reality with the help of Dr. Strange after Parker’s secret identity is revealed. This allows some former villains to appear, such as Alfred Moline’s Doctor Octopus – so it’s possible that some of the previous stars will as well.

The high school student is desperately trying to become anonymous again with the help of another Marvel character, Dr. Strange played by the no less popular Benedict Cumberbatch.
