Spider-Man swings to box office records

The box office was a one movie race this week and it should stay that way for some time.  Not only did the third installment of the the web wonder break three day opening records it also broke one day records as well.  The film took in $158 million over the weekend crushing the previous record by more than $20 million which was held by the Pirates sequel.  I know some people are talking about not making a number 4, but how do you not come back for such a monster money maker?  Expect Sony to make some big contract offers for the next film.

1. “Spider-Man 3,” $148 million
2. “Disturbia,” $5.7 million
3. “Fracture,” $3.4 million
4. “The Invisible,” $3.1 million
5. “Next,” $2.8 million
6. “Lucky You,” $2.5 million
7. “Meet the Robinsons,” $2.46 million
8. “Blades of Glory,” $2.3 million
9. “Hot Fuzz,” $2.1 million
10. “Are We Done Yet,” $1.7 million
