The Scarlett Johansson-helmed film rang up $80 million in domestic ticket sales over the weekend, the strongest showing of any U.S. release since the ninth and final installment of the Star Wars franchise came out in late 2019. Black Widow also collected $78 million internationally, as well as another $60 million through the Premier Access streaming option on Disney+.
