Spider-Man is bringing great power to the 2021 box office.

The highly anticipated Marvel film Spider-Man: No Way Home grossed a huge $50 million on Thursday, the third best preview night for any film in history, Deadline and Variety report. The only movies to have made more in previews are 2019's Avengers: Endgame and 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, though Deadline notes it helps that Spider-Man's preview screenings started a few hours earlier than usual at 3:00 p.m.
