This is bigger than the opening gross for the last Bond movie No Time To Die which took £4.8 Million on its first day.
To date it is the UK's top movie of 2021 with over £96 Million, and it is the third top movie of all time behind Stat Wars: The Force Awakens and fellow Bond movie Skyfall.
No Time To Die was released in a time when the public was just beginning to get confidence in going back to public place safely which could have effected the movies opening day, although with COVID-19 cases going up in the UK again the opening day for Spider Man: No Way Home is very impressive.
With this in mind it looks like we are heading for the biggest opening weekend in the UK and Ireland in the last few year, it will be inserting to see if it can top the 2021 list at the same time?
#SpiderManNoWayHome scores an astonishing £7.2 million at the UK box office (£7.6 million UK & Ireland) on its opening day. - By comparison the figure for #NoTimeToDie - which is now just shy of £100 million - was £4.5 million (£4.8 million UK&I).
