This past weekend Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse took in a robust $55 million at the domestic office, bringing its total there up to $225 million. At present this makes a gross north of $300 million nearly certain, and $350 million quite plausible, with higher easily within the range of possibility. (The film, after all, is running about 5 percent ahead of Guardians of the Galaxy 3 at the same point in its trajectory--as against just 2 percent after opening weekend.)
The situation overseas is less certain. Over there the movie has taken in some $165 million to date, considerably less than the domestic total (58 percent of the global revenue of $390 million domestic so far), suggesting that the explosion of enthusiasm for the animated wing of the Spider-Man franchise has been more a North American than a worldwide phenomenon. Still, the film's international holds are better than at home (a 44 percent drop in gross this weekend from the last weekend, as against the 54 percent drop seen here)--perhaps indicating audience interest growing abroad, and stronger legs bringing up its share over time. All the same, it is a long way from the $88 million international gross of the opening weekend to matching the film's likely $350 million+ domestic gross, with the result that while I think Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse may still have a good shot at being the year's highest-grossing Marvel film and superhero film in general domestically, globally the movie looks like it will be #2 to Guardians of the Galaxy 3.
