After months of pandemic-wary patrons and tepid numbers, this year of recovery for the domestic box office is at least going out with a bang. “” webbed up a truly mind-boggling $121.5 million on Friday from 4,336 locations, putting itself on the path for a projected $242 million opening weekend.
That’s a performance the likes of which haven’t been seen since 2019’s “Avengers: Endgame,” which hit a $156.7 million opening day, months before the world had even heard about COVID-19. Not only is “No Way Home” the first pandemic-era film to surpass the $100 million mark in its first weekend of release, but its success outmeasures the parameters of a pandemic era box office in general. The film scored the second highest opening day in the history of the domestic box office. The $121.
Due to high anticipation and a spoiler-phobic culture among fans, Marvel films tend to skew front-loaded in their debut weekends, with many making the effort to see a new release as quickly as possible. However, when opening weekends get this big, the numbers can begin to snowball instead. “Endgame” extended its $156.7 million opening day to a $357.1 million weekend, while 2018’s “Avengers: Infinity War” went from a $106 million opening day to a $257.6 million weekend.
