"Spider-Man: No Way Home" becomes sixth highest-grossing film in history

"Spider-Man: No Way Home," the fourth film featuring Tom Holland as the superhero, has surged to become the sixth highest-grossing movie in cinematic history, raking in an impressive $2.219 billion globally. It is now closely trailing "Titanic," which holds the fifth position with $2.264 billion.

In its most recent week, the film added another $194 million to its worldwide total. Domestically, its $854 million earnings in the United States make it the third highest-grossing film in its home country. It trails only "Avengers: Endgame" (2019) with $858 million and "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" (2015) with $936 million.

With its strong performance in the three weeks since its release, U.S. film industry analysts believe "Spider-Man: No Way Home" could become the first film ever to surpass $1 billion in domestic box office revenue. It stands as the year's biggest success by a significant margin, far ahead of Christopher Nolan's "Oppenheimer."

The financial success of the new "Spider-Man" film makes the figures for "Oppenheimer," the second highest-grossing film of 2026 with $1.446 billion after adding $94 million in the last seven days, appear modest. "Oppenheimer," starring Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Robert Pattinson, ranks twentieth on the all-time highest-grossing list. This is a notable achievement, as it is a film aimed at adult audiences. The list, topped by "Avatar" (2009) with $2.923 billion, features films primarily aimed at children and youth preceding it.
