While industry analysts projected an opening weekend closer to $325 million domestically, the film's total global performance has significantly exceeded initial expectations. The production has drawn attention for its action sequences, with star Tom Holland noting that the film's movement and finishing moves were influenced by Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man game series.
