"Black Widow" live-action movie hits the global box office with over $215 million in its first weekend

Marvel's latest masterpiece "Black Widow" achieved the best opening weekend performance in North America since the epidemic. In addition, the simultaneous launch on Disney+ also earned more than 60 million US dollars in additional revenue.

According to official news from Disney, the live-action independent film "Black Widow" grossed more than 215 million U.S. dollars worldwide in its first weekend, including 78 million U.S. dollars overseas, 80 million U.S. dollars in North America (domestic), and 60 million U.S. dollars in Disney+ paid on-demand revenue. It is the highest-grossing film in the United States since the release of "Star Wars 9: The Rise of Skywalker" in December 2019 (first weekend box office of 177 million U.S. dollars).

The strategy of releasing the film simultaneously in theaters and on streaming media Disney+ helped "Black Widow" become the only film since the pandemic to have domestic consumer spending exceeding $100 million in its opening weekend.

"Black Widow" ranked third among Marvel origin movies in its first weekend box office, only behind "Black Panther" and "Captain America".

"Black Widow" has not yet been scheduled for release in mainland China.
