Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse takes fewer than two weeks to outgross its predecessor, 2018's Oscar-winning Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has already outgrossed the original movie. Across the Spider-Verse is a sequel to the 2018 animated movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It continues the story of teenage web-slinger Miles Morales as he is once again dragged into an adventure that requires him to save the multiverse from a dastardly villain with the help of a team of alternate versions of Spidey from different universes.
Per Variety, the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse box office has already pulled off a coup before the end of its second weekend in theaters. In just 12 days, the film has raked in a total of $390 million worldwide. This surpasses the entire $384 million global box office run of the original Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which went on for 112 days in 2018.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Financial Success of Spider-Verse Finally Matches the Franchise's Reputation While Into the Spider-Verse has a strongly positive reputation, its original box office run was somewhat lukewarm. In fact, it remains the lowest-grossing entry in the entire 10-movie franchise, considerably below the next lowest entry - 2014's The Amazing Spider-Man 2- which earned $708.9 million.
However, Into the Spider-Verse continued to draw attention in the months and years following its release, helping push its reputation far beyond its somewhat underwhelming theatrical run. In addition to many other accolades, it would also go on to win the Academy Award for Best Animated Film. Its envelope-pushing aesthetic has also inspired a myriad of recent animated films in the meantime, from The Mitchells vs the Machines to Puss in Boots: The Last Wish.
The adoration for Into the Spider-Verse didn't arrive quite in time to translate into a huge box office gross. However, that same adoration is likely what is helping to fuel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse's successful opening weeks. It remains to be seen where the film will stand in the overall franchise rankings, but the new film has a chance to make its way considerably higher than its predecessor ever did.
