Spider-Man: No Way Home Seals 2021 Opening Day Box Office Record in UK

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Spider-Man: No Way Home just bagged a whopping $10 million on the first day of its release across the UK and Ireland and even when the threat of the new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, the latest Tom Holland-led film is expected to blow up the theaters with moviegoers and is expected to be the biggest movie of this year.

Considering that Avengers: Endgame had a record of $15 million in 2019, the circumstances today are different as a global pandemic is still ongoing. Spider-Man: No Way Home is not only bringing in fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, fans of previous Spider-Man movies are also expected to come now that the villains are back to enter the multiverse.

The release of Spider-Man: No Way Home tickets was a chaotic victory because it shows that the demand on the movie is really high but the cost of it are sites crashing, scalpers selling tickets for an insane amount, and even having moviegoers get into a literal fight over it while waiting in line.

The multiverse is getting bigger and bigger as villains from previous Spider-Man movies are coming with Willem Dafoe as the Green Goblin, Alfred Molina as Doc Ock, Jamie Foxx as Electro, Rhys Ifans as the Lizard, and Thomas Haden Church as Sandman. It is a literal “be careful what you wish for” because there may be consequences that are beyond one’s grasp.

Tom Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man and he would be joined by Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange. Also in the cast are Zendaya as MJ, Benedict Wong as Wong, Marisa Tomei as Aunt May, Jacob Batalon as Ned Leeds, J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson, and Tony Revolori as Flash Thompson.

Spider-Man: No Way Home is scheduled for an exclusive theatrical release on December 17, 2021.
