'Spider-Man: No Way Home' swinging to massive $240mn debut after record-breaking opening day

'Spider-Man: No Way Home' is the second-highest opening day in the history of the domestic box office.

Los Angeles: Tom Holland-starrer 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' has raked in a whopping $121.5 million on Friday from 4,336 locations, putting itself on the path toward 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, reports variety.com.

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 measures out the parameters of a pandemic-era box office in general.
