Spider-Man 3 smashes box office records
Posted by
The long wait is finally over, and those highly anticipated numbers are in. While it may face some tough competition in the weeks ahead, at least for now “Spider-Man 3†holds the opening day record at the box-office.
With $59 million pulled in on Friday “Spider-Man 3†beat “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest†previous record of $55.8 million last summer.
Tobey Maguire, Kristen Dunst and the rest of the “Spider-Man†cast now have their sites set on the three-day weekend record that ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean’ set at $135.6 million.
The first “Spider-Man†held the three-day record with $114.8 million until Johnny Depp and co. smashed the record four years later.
It could be a short lived record as “Shrek the Third†opens in two weeks and that will be followed by “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.†With a slew of highly anticipated films hitting the screen this summer box-office optimists are expecting record numbers at the ticket counter.
