Spiderman 3 broke the record for one day take. $57 million +
http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070505a.php
"Spider-Man 3" has already shattered records it seems. In one day the third adventure of the webslinger took in a whopping $57,274,000 at the U.S. box-office and snagged approximately 80% to 85% of the weekend's film business.
The number gives it the biggest opening day for a movie in history, several million ahead of last year's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" which took in $55.8 million on its opening day. The film looks set now to slightly beat out 'Pirates' opening weekend record of $135.5 million.

Wonder if this opening is an indication of how most of these summer movies will do, especially Pirates 3...
I liked the movie, but had issues with it, but so glad its racking in the money.

I am more shocked by how terrible Lucky You is doing than by how well Spider-Man 3 is doing...
But I really enjoyed Spider-Man 3 and think it is the best of the trilogy even if the last act is rather flawed and weak compared to the rest of the film....

Still, I'm hoping it'll be in theater's long enough so I can check it out.

Today, Spider-man 3 will either do a little bit more or a little bit less. The past two Spider-man films have all had a bump on Saturday.
If there's a bump, it will do: $61.4 million (which will lead to biggest opening weekend ever).
If there's a drop, it will do: $47.2 million (which will lead to $130m opening weekend -- a few million shy of Pirates 2).

So much for the negative reviewers (yeah, movie had a few problems, but I detect a large amount of "let's take the franchise down a notch" in some of these reviews). Go Spidey!

Well, I'll see what I can get in to. I'd like to go IMAX in Irvine, but if thats sold out all day tomorrow I'm sure I can catch it on one of the umpteen screens it's playing on.
