“Closing in the $2 Billion mark”- Fans predict box office numbers as Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse reaches $250M worldwide

It seems for some time now, most superhero movies will fail to hit the mark with audiences like Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse did. Only a week into its theatrical release, fans are already claiming that this second round of adventure with Miles Morales (voiced by Shameik Moore) is the greatest superhero film of all time, which isn't very surprising considering the high expectations this film shouldered ahead of the release.

However, what's even more fascinating is that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is doing equally well at the box office. After various pieces of news about the film this week, including how it broke into the top of Letterboxd, it has recently been revealed that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has already passed $250M worldwide.
