The latest sequel has so far grossed over $426 million at the global box office, much ahead of "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse" which grossed $384 million in its entire run in 2018. "Spider-Verse 2" crossed the first movie's domestic (North America) total of $190 million in just 9 days and global total in just 12 days.
"Across The Spider-Verse" has so far grossed $261 million domestically and $165 million overseas in 16 days for $426 million worldwide total. It is now the highest-grossing animated movie for Sony Pictures at the global box office.
The movie is benefitting from strong word-of-mouth and goodwill for the original, which introduced audiences to this universe's Spider-Man, known as Miles Morales, and brought the concept of a cinematic multiverse to the masses. Premium large formats, including Imax, have also been important in boosting the film's grosses.
Outside North America, the top-grossing market for "Spider-Verse 2" is China with a $40 million gross collection so far. In India, the movie has grossed around $5.2 million, which is almost 4 times higher than the total gross of the first movie.
