Spider-Man is one of the most loved heroes in the superhero universe. Owing to the massive success and fans’ love for the comics, its first live-screen movie was released in 2002. The role of the web-slinging action hero made the lead Tobey Maguire an overnight star. The movie was a massive success, which led to more Spider-Man movies including Spider-Man 2 in 2004 and Spider-Man 3 in 2007. The big and soulful-eyed boy received amazing reviews from critics and fans.
Since that time, numerous movies have been made on Spider-Man with the entry of more actors like Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland.
Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies budget and box office collection
Tobey Maguire’s first release was Spider-Man in 2002, which was made with a budget of $139 million, and its box office collection was $821 million. The chemistry between Spider-Man and Mary Jane played by Kirsten Dunst, gave the film many memorable moments. In the movie, Spider-Man fights with his friend’s father, who becomes a villain named Green Goblin.
The second one was Spider-Man 2, which was released in 2014. In the movie, Spider-Man had to face off against Alfred Molina’s Doctor Otto Octavius, where a tragic lab accident turns the Doctor into a supervillain. It was made with a budget of $200 million, and the box office collection was $794 million, which was lesser than the first one.
The third and the last in the Maguire series was Spider-Man 3, released after three years in 2007. The movie was produced with a massive budget of $258 million, and its worldwide collection was $894 million. However, it received a mixed response from the critics and audience, leading to the scrapping of future films.
Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies budget and box-office collection
Spider-Man: Homecoming furthered the journey of Tom Holland as the new Spider-Man. He was recruited by Tony Stark to fight alongside him during the events of Civil War. The movie was made with a budget of $175 million, and its box office collection was $878 million.
The next in line was Spider-Man: Far From Home, released in 2019. The film had a relatively lower budget than its earlier release, which was $160 million, but the box office collection of $1.1 billion was truly overwhelming.
The most recent and the highest budget movie among all Holland movies is Spider-Man: No Way Home. Released in 2021, the movie had a budget of $200 million, and the box office collection was unbelievable in numbers, at $1.9 billion. The movie delved into the concept of the multiverse, where all three Spider-Men; Tom Holland, Tobey Maguire, and Andrew Garfield, get together to fight for a greater cause. The chemistry between Holland and Zendaya was also loved by the fans.
It would be interesting to note that Tom Holland’s biggest hit was made at a $58 million lesser budget than Tobey Maguire’s greatest hit, Spider-Man 3. However, the box office collection for Holland’s movie was more than double the collection of Maguire’s film.
