“No Way Home,” Tom Holland's third standalone film as the webslinger, gave a huge lift to the box-office recovery that started in earnest last spring when U.S. cinemas opened after a year of COVID-19 closures. Marvel films dominated the turbulent year, accounting for the top four movies of 2021: “No Way Home,” “Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings,” “Venom: Let There Be Carnage” and “Black Widow.
Second place over the weekend went to Universal Picture's animated sequel “Sing 2." It took in $19.6 million in its second weekend to bring its two-week total to $89.7 million. That's a steady result given that family movies and films skewing toward older moviegoers have been the slowest to bounce back during the pandemic. “Sing 2” added another $54.9 million internationally. It's trajectory should make it the top animated release of the pandemic.
Steven Spielberg's “West Side Story” sold $2.1 million in tickets in its fourth weekend. While holding well , the once-envisioned holiday upswing for the acclaimed musical hasn't materialized. “West Side Story” has grossed a disappointing $29.6 million domestically.
