Everyone expected that ‘Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse’ would be a success and no one doubted that in its first weekend it would improve the data that ‘Spider-Man: A New Universe’ had four years ago, but it is that its success has exceeded all expectations. The most optimistic expected it to make about 110 million dollars at the North American box office, but it has gone to the 120.5 million.
killing everything
In this way, ‘Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse’ easily dethrones ‘The Little Mermaid’, but the Disney remake holds a 57% drop quite well. That is equivalent to adding an additional 40.6 million in the United States for a total of 186.2 million, still ahead of ‘Aladdin’ at this point.

It is also worth noting that ‘Spider-Man: Crossing the Multiverse’ has literally ridiculed the landing in theaters of ‘A new universe’, since the first installment of this animated saga barely made 35.36 million during the weekend of its arrival in theaters. In fact, its final box office in the United States was 190.24 million, an amount that the title in question will already exceed next weekend.
To this we must add that his budget was “only” 100 million, so adding the international box office it is possible that in a matter of days they will start to be all benefits for Sony. It almost pays the studio more to give priority to this franchise than to focus its efforts on ‘Spider-Man 4’ with Tom Hollandthe truth…
