Peter Parker's good fortune continued over the holiday weekend. Even with some mighty competition from new Matrix and Sing movies, and rising concerns over the omicron variant, 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' stayed in the No. 1 spot and netted a few more milestones too including crossing the $1 billion mark globally.  

According to studio estimates on Sunday, 'Spider-Man' added $81.5 million over the three-day weekend, down 69% from its first weekend.   

With $587.1 million from 61 overseas markets, in just 12 days of release, 'Spider-Man' has grossed $1.05 billion globally, making it the highest earner of the pandemic.

It's the first film of the pandemic to cross $1 billion and is tied with 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' for being the third-fastest film ever to do so, and this without the benefit of its release in China.

Universal's 'Sing 2' came in second place with an estimated $23.8 million, while Warner Bros. film 'The Matrix Resurrections' grossed $12 million to take third place.      

And in fourth is Disney and 20th Century's 'The King's Man', a prequel to the action-comedy Kingsman series starring Ralph Fiennes.

The Kurt Warner biopic 'American Underdog' opened on Christmas Day and has made an estimated $6.2 million in its two days in release.
