WHAT HAPPENED

Tom Holland's fourth outing as Peter Parker has broken box office records, defying expectations of superhero fatigue. According to Culture | The Guardian, this comes after a year where Marvel's big movies underperformed and the superhero-industrial complex seemed to be on the wane. The success of the latest Spider-Man film is significant, given the current state of the superhero movie genre.

The latest Spider-Man film's success is notable, as it follows a year where Marvel's movies did not perform as well as expected, with DC's Superman reboot outgrossing them, and the subsequent Supergirl movie being a costly bomb. The Culture | The Guardian report suggests that the Spider-Man franchise has managed to avoid the fatigue affecting other superhero films. However, specific figures and quotes are not provided in the available information.

The context of the superhero movie genre is one of uncertainty, with the genre's popularity seeming to wane in recent years, only for the Spider-Man franchise to revive interest. The success of the latest Spider-Man film may indicate a shift in the genre's popularity.
