Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse, was a hit with viewers and made $120.5 million in the U.S. According to ComScore, this makes the Sony Pictures Animation movie the second biggest opening weekend of 2023, after The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The opening weekend of Across the Spider-Verse was also the third biggest of any Spider-Man movie.
In Across the Spider-Verse, Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) and Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) go on an epic journey across the multiverse. They meet a new team of Spider-People called the Spider Society, led by Spider-Man 2099 (Oscar Isaac), as they battle to face a new threat.
Moore told EW that Miles is in a place where all he wants to do is impress her. “He will jump through a dimensional opening to get to her. And, to be honest, I don’t know anyone I would jump through a door for.”
“Let me tell you something: I don’t!” Steinfeld added with a laugh.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse scores the 2nd biggest opening weekend of 2023, behind only The Super Mario Bros. Movie. It has already made more money in 3.5 days than Into the Spider-Verse made in its first 21 days of release, and will surpass its final total by next Friday https://t.co/bkBXFhejhO
