SpiderManAcrossTheSpiderVerse swings to impressive new heights at the global box office.
In what has been an otherwise gloomy year for superhero cinema with major movies from both Marvel and DC underperforming commercially, one film has vastly outdone all expectations. Sony’s Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has passed the $400 million mark at the global box office, and just under two weeks of release too. Only a few days ago, the animated superhero sequel overtook its predecessor — 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse — both domestically and globally.
Across the Spider-Verse was expected to make around $80 million in its opening weekend, but ultimately ended up grossing a phenomenal $120 million. This was the second-biggest debut of 2023, behind another animated hit that pundits wildly underestimated: The Super Mario Bros. Movie. That film remains the biggest hit of the year, with over $1.3 billion at the global box office so far.

But Across the Spider-Verse wasn’t too far behind. The film dropped by just 54% in its sophomore weekends — live-action Marvel movies tend to register second-weekend falls between 60% and 70% — and grossed $55 million.
The movie follows Miles Morales on a multiverse-hopping adventure with Gwen Stacy , as they run into Spider-People from different universes along the way. Across the Spider-Verse is directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, and co-written and co-produced by fan favorites Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film also features the voices of Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Vélez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya and Oscar Isaac.
