Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse has crossed the nett collections of its prequel in India in 3 days straight and the lifetime shall probably be almost five times the first part. The performance of Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse is good in India given the aggressive promotions and higher stakes but across the world, especially domestically, they are unprecedented. For instance, the film literally crossed the weekend collections of its prequel on its first day and it is all set for an over 450 million dollar domestic cume if all goes well. A billion dollar final worldwide total can't at all be ruled out at this point, although it is way too earlyto say, based on the phenomenal audience reactions. Meanwhile, the worldwide first weekend projections are around 225 million dollars.
