With Tuesday’s global business factored in, Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures Animation’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has swung past the half-a-century mark worldwide, grossing $506.3M through yesterday.
Domestically, the Joaquim Dos Santos/Kemp Powers/Justin K Thompson-directed sequel has so far made $290.4M. The international box office has contributed $215.9M to date.
Across the Spider-Verse just opened today in Korea, its final major market, landing at No. 2 with $596K (including previews). It narrowly missed No. 1, just shy of local juggernaut The Roundup: No Way Out. Today’s Korea number on the animated arachnid is not reflected in the totals above.
The film originally bowed to $209M global on the first weekend of June, when it snared Sony’s biggest animated launch of all time. It also had great scores in China with an 8.9 from critics on Douban at the time which was the highest ever for a Marvel title, and a 9.4 from audiences on Maoyan.
In the initial suite, Europe was the biggest region, followed by Asia and Latin America. The film has consistently clicked past milestones since with great reviews and strong word of mouth; it’s carrying a 96% Fresh score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 95% audience score.
Japan released last weekend with $2.8M to best the opening of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse by a staggering 82%.
The Top 5 international box office markets to date are China at $42.5M, followed by the UK with $26.1M, Mexico with $24.2M, Australia with $15M and Brazil at $10.4M.
The film is produced by Avi Arad, Amy Pascal, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Christina Steinberg.
