I posted a link to the article. Unless you think Forbes is lying for whatever reason. Last I saw, it made $823 million globally.

Spidey swung past $800M this weekend to $823M globally, thanks to China where it webbed a strong $70.8M. It now ranks as the third biggest superhero opening of all time in the market behind Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War. The film, which pushed last week opener’s Dunkirk in the market aside, grossed $71.8M internationally from 21,300+ screens in 47 markets for a cume of $495.3M. Domestic now sits at $327M where it has been in the Top 10 for 10 weeks in a lackluster North American market (until this weekend).

Spidey will cross $500M internationally likely tomorrow and now becomes the third-highest box office total in the franchise for Sony.

In China, Spider-Man: Homecoming had the benefit of 442 Imax screens and took in $6M there, which earned the distinction of becoming the best-ever Imax opening weekend in September and as well as the best opening weekend for any Sony title in Imax format. Imax dropped Homecoming trailers ahead of An Army, Once Upon A Time, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, Cars, and Dunkirk.

China was the biggest international market for the last two installments of the Spider-Man franchise. My colleague Nancy Tartaglione did a very good comparison of all the films in the story here.

Sony went all-out in China to make sure Homecoming opened well. Prior to its release on Sept. 8, it partnered with Momo on social, iQiyi on video, QQ for text IMs, with Baidu (when users searched for Spider-Man, Homecoming would take over the entire screen) and a number of promo partners including Audi, Doritos, Dell, Mizone, CapitaLand, M&M, Xiaomi, and HTV Vive as well as its corporate parent Sony just to push the word out on different platforms

In addition, it spent on outdoor and digital platforms while stars Tom Holland and director Jon Watts did a publicity tour two days prior to the film’s opening. All that contributed to a big $70.8M take in the Middle Kingdom.
