The much-anticipated Hollywood movie “Spider-Man: No Way Home” is on pace to become the highest-grossing box office opener of the pandemic era by far.
The new movie took in $50 million at U.S. and Canadian movie theatres on Thursday, the third-highest total for preview showings.
This comes ahead of what is expected to be a massive weekend at cinemas that have struggled through the pandemic.

AMC on Friday said the film broke its box office records on Thursday night, making it “the single highest-grossing movie title on its opening night in AMC’s history,” in December and the second highest-grossing movie title on its opening night of all time, behind 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame.”
“Already in 24 hours it’s become a cultural phenomenon,” Dergarabedian said. “The appeal of the movie is number one and this movie delivers.”
