The movie is tied with 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' as the third-fastest film to earn $1 billion.
Peter Parker's good fortune continued over the holiday weekend as Hollywood prepares to close the books on a turbulent 2021. Even with some mighty competition from new Matrix and Sing movies, and rising concerns over the omicron variant,"Spider-Man: No Way Home" stayed in the No. 1 spot and netted a few more milestones too, including crossing the $1 billion mark globally.
The animated musical"Sing 2" features high-profile celebrity talent including Matthew McConaughey, Scarlett Johansson, Reese Witherspoon and Bono, as well as a jukebox soundtrack full of well-known hits. Since its release Wednesday, it's made $41 million from North America and $65 million worldwide.Orr said the stellar CinemaScore and audience scores suggest that the film will continue to perform well in the next few weeks, when many kids are still out of school for the holidays.
"The Matrix Resurrections" is the last of the 18 Warner Bros. films released in 2021 to debut both in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously. Starting in 2022, the studio will have a 45-day exclusive theatrical window on their films. Paul Thomas Anderson's"Licorice Pizza" expanded nationwide on Christmas, after playing in limited release for a month, and added $2.3 million bringing its total to $3.7 million. And right behind it was the Denzel Washington-directed drama"A Journal For Jordan," which to $2.2 million.
