Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse slung its webs back atop the box office ranks while The Flash saw a drop faster than the film's speedy character. The Spidey animated sequel—starring Shameik Moore as the teenage webslinger Miles Morales—reclaimed the No. 1 spot in its fourth week in North American theaters, scoring $19.3 million. The latest number helped the Sony film reach $317.1 million domestically and an impressive $560.3 million worldwide. Spider-Verse beat Elemental, which took second place for the second week in a row with an estimated $18.5 million. The film held on to the spot after experiencing Pixar's worst three-day opening last week, the AP reports.
No other film had such a dramatic drop as The Flash, with $15.2 million for the big-budget offering. The second week output for the DC and Warner Bros superhero film, starring Ezra Miller, fell off by 72% after opening with a subpar $55 million. So far, the numbers accumulated by The Flash haven't measured up for a movie with a $200 million production budget. It barely edged out No Hard Feelings, starring Jennifer Lawrence and Andrew Barth Feldman. The raunchy comedy, which opened in fourth place with $15.1 million, tells a story about a teen's parents who hired a woman to date and boost his confidence.
