Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, the sequel to the 2018's animated film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, has grossed over $390 million within the 12 days since its release in theatres. The current box office earning has outpaced the previous film's total global box gross of $377 million.

According to ColliderSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse has fallen behind Transformers: Rise of the Beasts in the second week of the release. However, the film is regarded as Sony's highest-grossing animated release in the US box office.

The film, which was released on June 1, opened to positive reception, " "Sequels to such widely appreciated films usually crumble under the weight of expectations. The anxiety to go bigger in scale, faster in rhythm, and higher in stakes are usually conspicuous in sequels. While Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse does strive to push past the scope and scale of the first film, it does so with meditative confidence." reads the CE review of the film. 

Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers and Justin K. Thompson, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is penned by Phil Lord along with Christopher Miller and David Callaham. 

The film features an ensemble voice cast, including Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Jake Johnson, Issa Rae, Daniel Kaluuya, Karan Soni, Jason Schwartzman, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Greta Lee, Rachel Dratch, Jorma Taccone, Shea Whigham, and Oscar Isaac.
