"Spider-Man: Homecoming" is among the top three highest-grossing films of all time

“Spider-Man: Homecoming” has become the third highest-grossing film of all time.

**The success of “Spider-Man: Homecoming”**

The superhero film “Spider-Man: Homecoming,” created in collaboration with Sony and Marvel, continues its successful run at the global box office. In its fifth weekend, the film earned an additional $22.2 million in the United States and Canada, which is a decrease of only 44% compared to the previous weekend.

The film’s total worldwide box office revenue reached $2.33 billion, placing it in the top three of all-time highest-grossing films. Thus, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” surpassed “Avatar: Into the Deep,” which collected $2.32 billion. Currently, only “Avatar” and “Avengers: Endgame” are ahead of it in the ranking.

Another important goal for the film is to break the North American box office record. Currently, “Spider-Man: Homecoming” is about $45 million behind “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”’s $936.7 million. If the new “Spider-Man” surpasses that figure, it will become the highest-grossing film in North America. The next goal is to collect $1 billion in that territory alone.

**Other box office results**

* **Second-place film:** It earned $14.6 million in its seventh weekend, bringing its total domestic gross to $564 million.

* **Third-place film:** The live-action/animated film opened in 3,575 theaters and grossed $13.5 million. Originally released by Warner Bros. refused to release the film in order to take advantage of tax breaks, which caused protests in the film industry. In March 2025, the film was purchased by Ketchup Entertainment and released in theaters.

* **Fourth place film:** It earned $10.1 million in its second weekend. The film's total revenue in the United States and Canada reached $43 million, while the production budget was about $18 million.

**Ridley Scott's "Dog Stars" has a bad start**

One of the most anticipated premieres of the week, Ridley Scott's "Dog Stars", also had a bad start. The post-apocalyptic thriller opened in fifth place, earning just $8 million in the United States and Canada. The film, which was shown in 3,330 theaters, cost more than $80 million to make. However, the film received poor reviews from critics and audiences: it received a 40% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a C+ rating on CinemaScore.

This was another unsuccessful project for Ridley Scott. The director's 2021 film The Last Duel also opened with just $4.7 million, despite a budget of nearly $100 million.

Meanwhile, Disney, which released the film, has enjoyed significant success with other projects this summer. Toy Story 5 grossed $1.12 billion, and Despicable Me 2 grossed $692 million.
