Spider-Man: No Way Home launched in 15 markets overseas on Wednesday, earning $43.6M and looking to surpass box office projections as its theatrical run continues. Other than setting a pandemic era record in Korea, the film also had its best Wednesday opening day ever in the UK, topping No Time to Die’s $6.6 million to earn $10.1 million.

Deadline reports that Spider-Man: No Way Home also had Mexico’s biggest ever opening day, earning $9 million that puts it above Avengers: Endgame. It’s really no surprise that the film would do well, considering its secretive production that has led to countless rumors and speculation as well as a high number of ticket pre-sales. Nonetheless, it is still great to see a film of this size draw in large crowds following a year of shutdowns, delays, and uncertainties.
Now officially released in the U.S. following Thursday’s domestic previews, Spider-Man: No Way Home is out and ready for fans to experience on the biggest screen possible. What may just be the MCU’s most hyped film to date, as it sees the return of many familiar faces from previous Spider-Man films like Alfred Molina’s Doc Ock and Willem Dafoe’s Green Goblin, the film picks up where Spider-Man: Far From Home left off, as Peter Parker seeks Doctor Strange’s help in restoring his secret identity after the world finds out who Spider-Man really is. Through the use of this magic, Parker must then deal with multiversal consequences.
The film has already received overwhelmingly positive reviews from critics, as it currently has a 95% on Rotten Tomatoes. While Tom Holland has stated this film will be the conclusion of a trilogy, Sony producer Amy Pascal recently spoke out about the involvement of Holland in future Spider-Man films, claiming that she and many others are already developing new stories for the character to be featured in.
Spider-Man: No Way Home also stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange, Zendaya as MJ, Jacob Batalon as Ned, Jon Favreau as Happy Hogan, Jamie Foxx as Electro, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, Benedict Wong as Wong, and Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson.
