Despite being the second reboot of Spider-Man in recent memory, Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: Homecoming has managed a $117 million (£90.7 million) debut weekend, making a further $140 million (£108 million) worldwide.
Homecoming — which also stars Robert Downey Jr, Michael Keaton, Donald Glover, and Zendaya — is currently playing in cinemas.
Analysts initially predicted the film would take around the $100 million mark, but thanks to a strong showing from a younger audience, Homecoming far surpassed those estimates.
Homecoming marks the first Spider-Man film to be co-produced by Marvel Studios and Sony, the character having first appeared in Captain America: Civil War: one of the many reasons Homecoming has succeeded is thanks to the character’s inclusion in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
