It’s already 27th on the list of adjusted-for-inflation domestic earnings, just below Forrest Gump ($330 million/$737 million). If it continues to leg out like Star Wars Episode VII, the Tom Holland/Zendaya actioner will reach $770 million domestic. It became a multigenerational nostalgic event and a metaphorical redemption for Sony’s previous franchise missteps. Spider-Man: No Way Home played not unlike how The Force Awakens was greeted not just as a new Star Wars movie but as a direct sequel to Return of the Jedi (one which was initially seen as a “This will begin to make things right.” reaction to the Prequel trilogy). Along with other positive factors (MCU fandom, general Spider-Man popularity, reviews, buzz, a lack of competition, holiday legs, etc.), Spider-Man: No Way Home was partially greeted (by nostalgic demographics) as both a glorified “part four” to Sam Raimi and Toby Maguire’s Spider-Man trilogy and a redemptive threequel to Marc Webb and Andrew Garfield’s Amazing Spider-Man duology.
Spider-Man: No Way Home has transcended “it’s a third Spider-Man movie,” “it’s a MCU threequel” or even “it’s a glorified Avengers movie/mythology episode” circumstances.
