Box Office Mojo ranks No Way Home among the highest-grossing films of all time. These figures include global theatrical runs adjusted for inflation and re-releases.
The combined domestic box office for the three films exceeds $2.2 billion. No Way Home holds the record for the highest opening weekend for a Spider-Man film in the United States. Far From Home became the first Spider-Man sequel to cross $1 billion globally. Homecoming marked the character's return to the MCU after the Sony Pictures deal with Marvel Studios.
Production Budgets and Studio Economics
Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios co-produce and co-finance the three Spider-Man films. Reported production budgets range from $175 million for Homecoming to $200 million for No Way Home. Far From Home had an estimated budget of $160 million. These figures do not include marketing costs, which typically add $100 million or more per film.
Sony retains worldwide box office ownership and home entertainment rights for the Spider-Man films. Marvel Studios receives a producer credit and a share of the box office revenue. The financial model allows Sony to leverage the character across its own Spider-Man Universe while sharing profits with Disney. SEC filings from Sony Group Corp detail segment-level revenue from film licensing and distribution.

Merchandise licensing for Spider-Man generates hundreds of millions annually for Sony. The three films have expanded the audience for related products including video games and apparel.
