Spider-Man's Argentine box office debut breaks records

The superhero film "Spider-Man: No Way Home" has made a colossal debut at the Argentine box office, selling an impressive 506,913 tickets in just three days from Wednesday to Friday. This strong opening has revitalized confidence in superhero movies and dominated the end of the winter school holiday season, capturing almost 60% of all tickets sold nationwide. The film's immediate local success mirrors its historic performance in the United States, where it shattered previous opening day records to become the highest-grossing film of all time on its premiere. In Argentina, the numbers from Ultracine confirm the massive draw of the latest Spider-Man adventure, with six out of ten moviegoers choosing it during those three days. While attendance is expected to decrease as schools reopen, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is projected to approach one million tickets sold by the end of its second week. The film's arrival has significantly impacted other major releases, with "The Odyssey" and "Toy Story 5" seeing attendance drops of 32% and 44% respectively in the same period. Despite the dip, "Toy Story 5" continues to be the year's highest-grossing film in Argentina, having sold over 3.57 million tickets. "The Odyssey" has also performed well, attracting nearly 750,000 viewers, largely driven by positive word-of-mouth recommendations.
