Tom Holland's Reaction To 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' Box Office Success Is All Heart

Los Angeles, February 4 - The latest Spider-Man movie, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is going nuts at the worldwide box office and breaking records with each passing day. The superhero movie, fronted by Tom Holland, has already become one of the all-time highest-grossing films. ## The box office success of "No Way Home" has left everyone wondering about how did it do that and Tom Holland is no exception. During the promotional press tour of Tom Holland's upcoming movie "Uncharted", the actor was informed how close "No Way Home" is to passing "Avatar's" lifetime domestic (North America) box office total. ## Holland was asked by a journalist how he was feeling about the success of "No Way Home". As you can see in the video below, Holland had no idea just how well the movie was performing and when the journalist informs him the film is just $20 million from crossing "Avatar" domestically, Holland couldn't believe what he's hearing, even looking to his team off-camera for validation.## TOM’S FACE WHEN HE DROPS THE NEWS 😭 pic.twitter.com/FkXWBMrPMC— Cam 🎬 (@camandfilm) February 2, 2022 ## Now to fact-check the claims in the video, "No Way Home" won't become the biggest movie domestically by crossing only "Avatar" ($760M). If it crosses James Cameron-directed, it will become the 3rd biggest Hollywood movie at the domestic box office, behind "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" ($936M) and "Avengers: Endgame" ($858M). ## At the worldwide box office, "Spider-Man: No Way Home" is currently at the 6th spot among the all-time biggest grosser with a $1.73 billion box office total. "Avatar" is currently the number 1 movie with $2.84 billion and "Avengers: Endgame" at number w with $2.79 billion. At once, "Endgame" had overtaken "Avatar" but after the re-release in China last year, the sci-fi epic reclaimed the top spot. ## Stay tuned...
