'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Tops Box Office For Fourth Straight Week

“Spider-Man: No Way Home” smacked aside both the fears of the omicron variant and the Hollywood competition to continue its dominance at the U.S. box office.

What Happened: Now in its fourth weekend in theaters, “Spider-Man: No Way Home” generated $33 million in ticket sales from 4,012 screens. The $Sony(SONY.US)$ release has recorded $668.7 million from the domestic box office since its premiere on Dec. 10 – with the global box office factored in, the film has absorbed $1.5 billion, making it the eighth highest-grossing international release of all time.

The animated feature “Sing 2” from $Comcast(CMCSA.US)$ Universal Pictures ranked second at the U.S. box office this weekend with an $11.9 million tally from 3,713 screens. Now in its third week of theatrical release, “Sing 2” has accumulated $109 million at the U.S. box office, making it the most commercially successful animated film of 2021.

Universal also had the weekend’s sole new nationwide release, the action-adventure flick “The 355” starring Jessica Chastain, Penélope Cruz and Lupita Nyong'o, which debuted in third place with a weak $4.8 million from 3,145 theaters.

Rounding out the box office’s top five films were two films going into their third week in release: "The King’s Man" from $Disney(DIS.US)$ 20th Century Studios with $3.27 million from 3,040 venues and “American Underdog” from $Lions Gate Entertainment-A(LGF.A.US)$ , with $2.4 million from 2,729 venues.
