Current Results Spidey Takes Down Vader And Captain Jack Sparrow Posted By Mike on May 11, 2007 Congrats to Spiderman 3 for a historic opening weekend that shattered previous records set by Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and Revenge of the Sith. From DeadlineHollywoodDaily.com: "Peter Parker knocks out Jack Sparrow and Darth Vader! Spider-Man 3 today has shattered the U.S. opening weekend box office record set by Pirates Of The Caribbean 2: Dead Man's Chest and the global box office record set by Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge Of The Sith. With Friday's precedent-setting U.S. box office of $59.3 million and Saturday's record $51+ million and Sunday's projected $37.7 million, the Sony mega-blockbuster spun the biggest American weekend movie opening of all time. This is a historic Hollywood moment and sensational start to the summer movie season. The figure for U.S. gross was $148 million for Friday through Sunday at 4,252 theaters, the widest release ever, which easily beat the previous record-holder Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and its $135.6 million. (I have been saying that Sony execs were dreaming in the neighborhood of a greedy $150 mil for SM3's U.S. debut, and they got it by showing the pic almost round-the-clock ever since 12:01 AM Friday!) At the same time, Spidey 3 scored the biggest worldwide opening ever with $375 million, upsetting the previous record of $254 mil by Star Wars Episode 3. The overseas estimates from 107 countries total $225 mil; pic was the biggest film debut ever in at least 26 countries including Russia, China, Italy, South Korea, Japan. SM3 also shattered all the North American records (U.S. and Canada) for biggest opening day ever, biggest 2nd day of release and biggest 3rd day of release. Though SM3 fell -14% Saturday compared to Friday, that number without the midnight shows is actually +4%. This means that, comparatively, the threequel almost did in two days what the original Spidey did in three days back in 2002. Now, let's look at the exit polls: SM3's opening weekend audience was 54% male, 46% female, and 63% under 25 years old. Over 50% of those surveyed said they liked the film better than Spider-Man 1 and 2 (although reviewers did not; see below). The film played broadly, from ages 8 to 80, and sellouts were reported nationwide throughout the weekend. Friday to Sunday box office was up over 70% at U.S. theaters compared to last year -- and Spidey 3 captured 80% of the total American gross of $180 mil." Again, congrats to director Sam Raimi and company, but are they gearing up for some sort of Spiderman C4? I think not. Long live Star Wars!!! Click here for the full story. Thanks to TF.N's Scott C. for the link. UPDATE: Looks like Spidey might have lost a bit of steam after its incredible opening weekend. According to David Poland's Blog from Movie City News: "So you might be wondering how Spider-Man 3 is doing after its record-setting 3-day opening... It fell behind Pirates 2 on Tuesday, Day 5, with $169.4 million versus P2's $169.5 million. On Day 6 the spread got wider, with P2's $183.7m gaining $7.5m on SM3's $176.2m. It also fell behind both Star Wars: Episode (Three) - Revenge of the Sith ($182.7m) and Spider-Man 2 ($180.1m)." Click here to check out David Poland's Blog.
