According to Variety, the Dec. 24 global box office receipts for No Way Home will make it the highest-grossing film of 2021. By Dec. 25, it’s all but confirmed to clear $1 billion worldwide, tying it with Avengers: Infinity War as the second-fastest film to hit that milestone after 11 days in theaters. This would also make it the first film since the COVID-19 pandemic to clear $1 billion, and it’s made all the more impressive considering the box office haul doesn’t include China.

CBR: In No Way Home, villains from past Spider-Man films enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Peter Parker interferes with Doctor Strange’s spell intended to make the world forget his secret identity. When Peter discovers each of those villains died in their universes while fighting Spider-Man, he sets out to cure them before sending them home, but the plan backfires when Green Goblin, Electro, Sandman and Lizard go rogue. It’s eventually revealed that it wasn’t just villains who made it into the MCU, though, as Ned inadvertently opens portals for Maguire and Garfield’s Spider-Men to enter the picture. Together, the three Peters succeed in curing the villains, but Green Goblin’s damage to Doctor Strange’s spellbinding box means the only way to stop the damage to the Multiverse is for Strange to cast a new spell that makes the entire world forget who Holland’s Peter is.

“It’s a good thing when people are in a theater and they stand up and cheer,” Marvel Studios President/Marvel Chief Creative Officer Kevin Feige added. “It’s a good thing when people are wiping tears because they’re thinking back on their last 20 years of moviegoing and what it has meant to them. That, to me, is a very good thing — the sort of thing the Academy was founded, back in the day, to recognize.”

Spider-Man: No Way Home is in theaters everywhere.
