Spider-Man: No Way Home's reign atop the domestic box office has been extended to three weeks following the latest MCU film earning another $52.7 million over the last weekend of 2021.


As reported by Variety, this brings Spider-Man: No Way Home's domestic total to $609 million and places it in 10th place on the list of the highest-grossing domestic films of all time. While it has just passed Incredibles 2's $608 million, it will now work its way to swing past Star Wars: The Last Jedi's $620 million and The Avengers' $623 million.


International sales continue to soar as well, and No Way Home's overseas tally is now at $759 million. All of these ticket sales have brought its total global earnings to $1.37 billion, a number that is enough to pass Black Panther's $1.34 billion and secure the 12th biggest box office sales in history.

Sing 2 continued to impress and placed second for the second weekend in a row with ticket sales of $19.6 million. Perhaps most impressively for the film starring Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson, and more, it only saw a 12% drop week-over-week. Sing 2's global total is now at $89.6 million.


While this is an impressive number during the COVID-19 pandemic, Sing 2's performance is well behind the original's $270 million domestic box office run and $634 million global run.


The King's Man took third place with $4.5 million, American Underdog placed fourth with $4.07 million, and The Matrix Resurrections rounded out the top five with $3.8 million. The Matrix Resurrections saw an unfortunate drop week-over-week of 64%.

As it stands, The Matrix Resurrections is the last film from WB to release day-and-date on HBO Max and in theaters. In 2022, WB will hope to improve its box office performance with such films as The Batman, The Flash, Don't Worry, Darling, and more.
