This Collider feature ranks all eleven Spider-Man films released to date by worldwide box office takings, without adjusting for inflation, offering a snapshot of how consistently profitable the character has been for studios. The piece notes that Spider-Man films tend to perform strongly regardless of critical reception, with even weaker entries such as The Amazing Spider-Man 2 still proving commercially successful, and highlights that the newest instalment, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, has recently broken into the top ten highest-grossing films of all time.

At the lower end of the ranking sit the animated Spider-Verse films: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) placed eleventh with $394.8 million against a roughly $90 million budget, while its sequel Across the Spider-Verse (2023) roughly doubled that figure to $690.5 million, aided by the goodwill from the first film. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) ranked ninth with $708.9 million despite mixed reviews, illustrating the article's central point that box office success and critical quality do not always align for this franchise.
