Steady “Spider Man” Flies to $328 Million on 6th Day of Release With No End in Sight

Share

Spider Man, Spider Man, does whatever a spider can.

Actually, thank God spiders can’t really do what Peter Parker can nowadays. Otherwise, the world might be a very different place…

Anyway. “No Way Home” added $31 million last night, crossed the $300 million mark to $328 million on its sixth day of release.

With just a 15% drop from Monday there is no end in sight. Sony-Columbia is flirting with $400 million by or on Friday. Right now, the worldwide total is just about $700 million. Most other movies are cursed by COVID and not doing well. “West Side Story,” which should be a blockbuster, is struggling toward $20 million. Shameful.

With business booming for Spidey, we can only imagine the pay days for Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield. Let’s hope they had escalator clauses…
