‘Spider Man’ box office holds top spot with $10.4m

Another weekend, another easy No. 1 spot at the box office for ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home.’ Columbia Pictures’ monster MCU hit is continuing to run circles around its competition, staying atop the domestic box office in its seventh weekend of release, reports Variety.

‘No Way Home’ is projected to rake in an additional $10.4 million over the weekend, a mere 26% drop from its previous weekend. After being briefly toppled from the No. 1 spot by the opening weekend of Paramount’s ‘Scream,’ the Tom Holland vehicle climbed back to the top of the box office last weekend, showing stronger legs than its horror competitor. Arachnids have eight of them, after all.

With January offering very little in the realm of high-profile theatrical releases, ‘No Way Home’ has been left at peace over the past few weeks, remaining the primary draw for theatergoers after the holiday season. After the weekend, ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ will have racked up a domestic total of around $734 million, currently ranking as the fourth-highest grossing domestic release of all time. ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ ($936 million) and ‘Avengers: Endgame’ ($858 million) are probably out of reach at this point, though the bronze standing of ‘Avatar’ ($760 million) is well within Spidey’s sights.
