Summary
- The most profitable superhero movie of 2023 is revealed, but it isn’t the one with the highest total box office of 2023.
- It generated a net profit of $328 million, surpassing other blockbuster films released in 2023.
- Revenue from VOD, streaming, and TV contributed to its success beyond the box office.
Industry experts recently revealed the most profitable superhero film of 2023, which turned out to be Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Last year wasn’t a good one for superhero films, as DC and Marvel both put out record-breaking flops that failed to generate interest from audiences. However, there were a few successful projects in 2023, and one brought in a significant amount of profit for its studio, despite not being the top-grossing film of the year.
According to Deadline, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse was the most profitable superhero film of 2023. The sequel to 2018’s Into the Spider-Verse grossed $690 million worldwide on a budget between $100-150 million. It also brought in revenue from VOD, streaming, and television, which boosted the overall gross. After factoring in marketing, production costs, distribution costs, and interest, Across the Spider-Verse had a net profit of $328 million, the most of any 2023 superhero film, and ahead of other 2023 blockbusters, like Wonka, Five Nights At Freddy’s, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and Oppenheimer.
