As for a Spider-Man title, Across the Spider-Verse was the third-biggest opening weekend ever. For comparison, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which introduced mainstream moviegoers to Miles Morales, debuted at $35 million in 2018.

David A. Gross, a Franchise Entertainment Research movie consultant, discussed the Spider-Verse’s growing popularity. “This is an exceptionally good opening for an animation follow-up sequel,” Gross said. “Spider-Verse took a well-liked superhero, gave the storytelling an original visual style and voice, and created a unique experience.”
