It posted the <strong>second-biggest<\/strong> North American opening ever, behind only <em>Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, and set a $168 million opening-day record, according to weekend box-office estimates.

It also now appears headed for $1 billion worldwide. Strong word of mouth, plus some of the best reviews any summer release has gotten, has turned it into both a prestige play and a real commercial hit.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For people who follow the theatrical business closely, this stretch says a lot. Since 2017, films featuring Tom Holland and Zendaya have brought in more than <strong>$11.2 billion<\/strong> worldwide in cumulative box-office grosses. If these numbers hold, the latest totals could make them the highest-grossing acting couple ever, while also reinforcing their status as Hollywood\u2019s safest bet when it comes to getting people into theaters.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both films are in theaters now.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North American theaters had a huge weekend.
