Spider-Man: No Way Home, the latest installment in the adventures of Spider-Man, has retaken the lead at the North American box office by grossing another $14.1 million over the weekend, according to figures provisional published Sunday by Exhibitor Relations, a firm specializing in the film industry. The film, the first of the Covid era to have raised more than a billion dollars in North America and internationally since its release, has thus dislodged the horror film Scream which had briefly dethroned it last weekend. Six weeks after its release, the Sony-produced film continues to bring a breath of fresh air to a cinema industry brought to its knees by the pandemic, with worldwide receipts of $1.69 billion. The new version of the saga Scream, fifth of the name, comes in second position. The Paramount Studios horror film raked in $12.4 million in US and Canadian theaters from Friday to Sunday. Third on the podium, the animated film from Universal Studios All On Stage II gleaned 5.7 million this weekend (10 million expected over four days). Another Universal product, the new Christian romantic drama Redeeming Love comes in fourth. position with revenue of $3.7 million. This parable of sin and redemption, set in California during the Gold Rush, was more popular with audiences, especially in the conservative South of the United States, than with critics. : First Mission, a prequel to the Kingsman spy films, starring actors Ralph Fiennes, Gemma Arterton and Rhys Ifans, retained its fifth place with $1.8 million. Here’s the rest of the top 10: 355 ($1.6 million) American Underdog ($1.2 million) The King’s Daughter ($750,000) West Side Story ($698,000) Licorice Pizza ($683,000)
