Although globally, the worry of Omicron looms for moviegoers, the desire to watch their favourite Marvel superhero, Spider-Man, in the theatres is much more potent. The new film in the Marvel franchise, Spider-Man: No Way Home, is a silver lining for theatres and the Hollywood industry, which took a toll in the pandemic last year.
A Marvel movie is a sure shot formula for movie theatres across the world to ace up the revenue stream. The film, Spider-Man: No Way Home has crossed the record of even ‘The Black Widow’ in terms of advanced ticket booking.
The numbers from the first day of pre-sale bookings have surpassed the record set by Avengers: End Game.
Early this week, when ticket reservation commenced, Spider-Man: No Way Home, within a two-hour window, was able to beat the Black Widow’s pre-sale record of the first day.
The film also managed to surpass its predecessors- Spider-Man: Far From Home, Avengers: Infinity War, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
