Peter Parker just swung his way into a worldwide box office record.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe film starring Tom Holland as the titular web-slinging hero accomplished the feat in just over a week since its Dec. 17 release, with a worldwide total currently standing at $1.05 billion. The movie earned more than $600 million worldwide in its opening weekend and continued taking home strong ticket sales throughout the lead-up and during the Christmas holiday. Domestically, the movie claimed an opening weekend total of $253 million across 4,336 theaters, marking an opening-weekend best for the Spider-Man franchise and Sony. As previously reported by EW, the film also snagged a historical second-biggest opening day gross, raking in a reported $121.5 million, topped only by Avengers: Endgame during its domestic opening. The film's domestic total has now risen to $467.3 million.
Spider-Man: No Way Home — also starring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Benedict Cumberbatch, Marisa Tomei, Willem Dafoe, Jamie Foxx, and Alfred Molina — completes Holland's first trilogy as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, as well as ties this version of Spider-Man into Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's previous franchises by bringing in past villains like Dafoe's Green Goblin and Molina's Doc Ock, among others. EW's critic Leah Greenblatt gave the movie a B+ in her review.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is now playing in theaters.
