Spiderman Vs. Starwar

[Damaso]

And then along came your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. In that one weekend, about 20 million Americans saw Spider-Man, making Sony $115 million — by far the most any film has ever made in a weekend (and a nonholiday one at that). By this coming weekend, Spider-Man, which cost about $120 million to make and $50 million to market, was expected to have earned $225 million. But by breaking the four-minute mile of Hollywood — the $100 million opening weekend — Spidey has shrewdly fine-tuned the rules about moviemaking, marketing and distribution. It also marks the beginning of what is sure to be the biggest moviegoing summer ever.

Will Starwar break the record?

Shoot, (me bad) Lucas will probably make that off of me alone.

Thanks for the correction, I don't know what I was thinking.
On the 3/4 of screens vs. spiderman, I believe Lucas was very picky on who can show AOTC. Something about having to have the right kind of sound system. I read it somewhere today. Non of that matters anyways, as long as the saga goes on I'm happy. Besides, I love watching space movies on my 65" Mitsubishi big screen so I am sure I'll be first in line to buy the dvd too.

well if you ask me, hype about numbers and everything is misleading. every year the population of the world gets bigger and due to inflation prices are getting more expensive all the time, so of course opening weekends will bring in consecutively bigger and bigger numbers. if you compared ratiowise it'd look different. $0.02
