Spidey Shatters $200 Million
Spider-Man is simply amazing.
With $72 million in its second weekend, Spider-Man knocked off Star Wars: Episode I–The Phantom Menace to become the fastest movie ever to hit $200 million. Spider-Man passed that mark on Saturday, its ninth day of release. It took The Phantom Menace 13 days to reach $200 million.
The film has grossed $223.6 million in 10 days, according to studio estimates Sunday. The movie had the best second weekend ever, beating the $57.5 million that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone took in over the same period, according to the Associated Press. At $72 million, it was the fourth-highest weekend gross of all time, behind its own record debut of $114.8 million, the $90.3 million opening of Harry Potter and the $72.1 million premiere of The Lost World: Jurassic Park.
Opening in second place was the Richard Gere-Diane Lane thriller Unfaithful, which grossed $14.2 million in 2,613 theaters. The teen comedy ``The New Guy" debuted at No. 3 with $9.5 million.
Spider-Man is expected to hold well next weekend, though it comes up against Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones.
