‘Spider-Man’ comes back swinging, takes No. 1 from ‘Scream’

After spending one weekend in second place, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" proved it still had some fight left. Sony’s superhero juggernaut swung back to first place in its sixth weekend in theaters and became the sixth highest-grossing film of all time, globally.

The film topped the North American charts with $14.1 million, according to studio estimates on Sunday. Globally, it’s now grossed nearly $1.7 billion, passing the total earnings of both "Jurassic World" and "The Lion King." And in North America, its $721 million make it the fourth biggest release ever.

Peter Parker also stole first place back from " Scream," which fell about 59% — a typical drop for a horror— in its second weekend with an estimated $12.4 million in ticket sales. The Paramount release has grossed $51.3 million so far.

Universal and Illumination’s "Sing 2" landed in third place in its fifth weekend, with $5.7 million. The animated title has earned $241.2 million worldwide.

There was little competition for the holdovers to contend with this weekend. The only two fresh offerings nationwide in theaters were comparatively lower-profile releases: "The King’s Daughter," a fairy tale with Pierce Brosnan that was filmed in 2014 and held until now, and "Redeeming Love," a faith-based historical romance with Nina Dobrev.
