Spider-Man 3 launched into the record books with the highest-grossing opening of all time with $148 million, surpassing the previous record held by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest when it opened last summer with $135 million. Spidey's take was a 167% improvement over the same weekend last year when Mission: Impossible III debuted. There was little competition as the only other major studio release, Lucky You took the sixth position with a paltry $2.5 million. Disturbia, which had held the top spot for three weeks was pushed to a distant second with $5.7 million for the weekend.
Spider-Man 3's opening weekend was a vast improvement over the two previous films. Spider-Man held the record for highest-grossing opening back in 2002 when it debuted with $114.8 million. Spider-Man 2 followed with a $88.2 million opening in 2004.
The web-slinger should have smooth sailing as there will be little to no competition for two weeks until Shrek the Third hits theaters on May 19th followed a week later by Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End which will try to best its predecessor and take back the record.
