Ever since Spider-Man: No Way Home hit movie theaters on December 17, 2021, it has been breaking box office records and has performed incredibly well, even by Marvel Cinematic Universe standards.
And, bear in mind, Marvel boss Kevin Feige and Co. are no strangers to commercial success. The Infinity Saga’s two final films — Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019) — are among the most successful movies of all time. In fact, the third MCU Spider-Man film ranks second only to Endgame in regard to debut weekend numbers.
Now, the mind-boggling No Way Home profit numbers have been revealed thanks to Deadline.
An ultimate $610M net profit for No Way Home would feasibly become Sony’s most profitable movie of all-time, besting the profits of the previous two webslinger titles, Spider-Man: Homecoming ($200M) and Spider-Man: Far From Home ($339M), as well as Sony’s near $1 billion grossing title Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle ($305.7M net profit), as well as Disney/Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War ($500M), Star Wars: The Last Jedi ($417.5M) and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker ($300M).
It’s worth noting that The Walt Disney Company and Marvel Studios covered 25% of the film’s production cost, an estimated $50 million, and they will also receive 25% of the total box office take, which is estimated by Deadline to be approximately $152.5 million.
At this time, it remains unclear if Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios will continue their relationship. Spider-Man producer Amy Pascal has already teased a fourth Spider-Man collaboration — and an entire second trilogy, in fact — between the two studios, but Sony Pictures was quick to note that this has not yet been officially confirmed.
Joining Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017) and Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), the official description of Spider-Man: No Way Home reads:
For the first time in the cinematic history of Spider-Man, our friendly neighborhood hero is unmasked and no longer able to separate his normal life from the high-stakes of being a Super Hero. When he asks for help from Doctor Strange the stakes become even more dangerous, forcing him to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man.
