'Spiderman 3' Still Rules World Wide Box Office - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Spider-Man kept up his box office heroics for a second weekend, as the worldwide total for the third film in the superhero trilogy hit $622 million, the film's distributor said on Sunday.

In its second weekend of release, "Spider-Man 3" sold an estimated $145.5 million worth of tickets, split between $60 million for North America and $85.5 million internationally, said Columbia Pictures.

The worldwide lead is likely to change next weekend when "Shrek the Third" opens and then again the following weekend when "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" sets sail.

"Spider-Man 3" enjoyed a wide margin in North America over the two new releases that rounded out the top three: the zombie thriller "28 Weeks Later" with $10 million, and the latest Lindsay Lohan flop "Georgia Rule" with $5.9 million.

After 10 days, the North American total for "Spider-Man 3" stands at $242.1 million. By contrast, 2004's "Spider-Man 2" had earned $256 million after two weekends, and 2002's "Spider-Man" $223 million. ("Spider-Man 2" got a two-day head start, opening on a Wednesday.)

The latest film suffered a steep 60 percent drop from its first weekend, compared with 49 percent for "Spider-Man 2" and 38 percent for "Spider-Man." Columbia said it was comfortable with the slide given the film's record-breaking $151 million first weekend. The previous holder of that record, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," fell 54 percent last year.

Columbia Pictures is a unit of Sony Corp .. "28 Weeks Later" was released by Fox Atomic, a unit of News Corp. "Georgia Rule" was released on behalf of producer Morgan Creek Prods. by Universal Pictures, a unit of General Electric Co.'s NBC Universal.

I enjoyed the movie and don't see why everyone trashed it, it was better than Superman Returns.

I liked it a lot and thought it was hilarious (in a cheesy way)
