Spider-Man 3 managed to bring in 148 million over 3 days, besting last summer's blockbuster cashbringer Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest, which only managed 135.6 million across the same period of time.
Spider-Man 3 has been anointed the worst of the three Spider-Man movies, just as Pirates 2 is universally accepted to be a really bad movie. Both of these films were expensive to make, and both of these had tremendous success their opening weekend.
Given the success so far, I think it's fair to say that there will be a fourth Spider-Man movie...
What's left for the summer?
- Shrek 3 (May 18)
- Pirates of the Carribean 3 (May 25)
- Ratatouille (June 29)
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (July 13)
- Stardust (August 10)
I'll wait on reviews for Pirates 3, most likely, but I think the rest are sure bets.
