Spider-Man 3 has been giving the summer blockbuster run a big go for its cash races. Still early on in the Summer run we now have some incredible numbers thrown out for a movie getting TONS of mixed reviews.
The superhero’s latest adventure, “Spider-Man 3,” smashed box-office records with $148 million in its first three days, according to studio estimates Sunday.
That put it ahead of the previous record debut of $135.6 million set last summer by “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.”
With $59.3 million on opening day Friday, Sony’s “Spider-Man 3” broke the single-day box-office record, also held by “Dead Man’s Chest” with $55.8 million in its first day.
Since it began rolling out overseas on Tuesday, “Spider-Man 3” has taken in $227 million in foreign markets, bringing the film’s worldwide total to $375 million. In just days, the movie has grossed $117 million more than its whopping $258 million production budget.
We all know what this means for a franchise. SEQUELS. But Spidey already had 2 sequels, and with rumours and news of those involved not wanting to return, are we really going to see more? And if so, with who?
Webbed superhero Spider-Man will appear in at least three more movies, Sony Pictures has confirmed. The studio’s chief executive Michael Lynton said after the box office success of the latest release Spider-Man 3, there is a huge audience waiting to see the story continue.
There it is folks. The webslinger’s net seems to only catch money. So there will be more. As many more as you are willing to pay them for!
I just wonder if these records will be recovered by the Pirates franchise Spidey robbed it from when Pirates of the caribbean: At World’s End comes out this summer.
