Box office: SpiderManNoWayHome rules again, The355 misfires
The latest Spidey adventure, starring Tom Holland as the title web-slinger, collected a leading $33 million from 4,108 theaters between Friday and Sunday, boosting its domestic tally to $668 million. After this weekend’s haul, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” stands as the sixth-highest grossing movie in history at the domestic box office, surpassing “Titanic” and “Jurassic World” . At this rate, it’ll soon take the No. 5 spot, which currently belongs to “Avengers: Infinity War” .
Universal’s star-studded action spy film “The 355” had to learn that the hard way. The film managed to fall short of already low expectations, generating a dismal $4.8 million from 3,145 North American venues over the weekend. The bad news? It’s unlikely to rebound in its theatrical run since “The 355” has garnered mostly negative reviews .
That’s a notable achievement at a time when parents haven’t been taking their young kids to the movies, though box office analysts remain concerned about the sluggish return of family audiences. In 2019, animated films generated, thanks to family friendly hits like “The Lion King” , “Toy Story 4” , “Frozen II” , and “Aladdin” . There hasn’t been a single pandemic-era film geared toward kids that has been able to come close to reaching similar heights.
