Spider-Man: No Way Home has been a massive success, and it has now officially taken down the sci-fi epic Avatar as the third-highest-grossing film in United States history.
The move came over the weekend, with No Way Home reaching the milestone of $760.9 million at the North American box office, good enough to just edge itself past James Cameron’s film, which stood at $760.5 million.
Spider-Man: No Way Home currently holds a worldwide gross of over $1.8 billion, and has become Sony’s highest-grossing film of all time.
“Though Spider-Man: No Way Home benefits from a much higher average ticket price than Avatar, this does not detract from the enormity of this achievement coming during a pandemic-impacted marketplace,” said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst with Comscore (via Variety).
