As per the initial reports emerging from Korea, the movie landed a $5.28 million opening, according to Deadline. The figure is notable as it is 11% more than the last Spidey title, and it is the biggest day-one collection for a film released after pandemic. It is also to be noted that the country was the second-largest international market after China for Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Figures reported from the UK are also a reaffirmation of the movie’s success. Bowing at $10.1 million, it could be hailed as the best launch of all time in the territory. It has also surpassed the collection of the James Bond movie, No Time To Die, which earned $6.6 million.
