Spider-Man: No Way Home has become the first pandemic-era movie to make more than $1bn (£750m) at the global box office.
The latest film in the popular Spider-Man franchise also took the title of highest-grossing film of 2021.
It beat Chinese-made Korean War epic The Battle of Lake Changjin, which has grossed almost $905m worldwide.
The last movie to gross more than $1bn was 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, according to media data analytics firm Comscore.
No other Hollywood production has come near to reaching that box office milestone since the pandemic began two years ago.
