The Sam Raimi-directed film added $227 million from May 1st through today internationally as well, bringing the worldwide total to $375 million!

Spider-Man caught just about everyone in his web. The superhero’s latest adventure, “Spider-Man 3,” smashed box-office records with $148 million in its first three days, according to studio estimates Sunday.

That put it ahead of the previous record debut of $135.6 million set last summer by “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest.”

With $59.3 million on opening day Friday, Sony’s “Spider-Man 3″ broke the single-day box-office record, also held by “Dead Man’s Chest” with $55.8 million in its first day.

Since it began rolling out overseas on Tuesday, “Spider-Man 3″ has taken in $227 million in foreign markets, bringing the film’s worldwide total to $375 million. In just days, the movie has grossed $117 million more than its whopping $258 million production budget.

In just two days, it also nearly matched the $114.8 million opening weekend of 2002’s “Spider-Man,” which had held the debut record until “Dead Man’s Chest” opened.

I’ve heard good reviews about spider man 3. I dont want to reveal too much about it on a public blog about the movie, but i think it will be great. I’m planning on watching it on Tuesday, which is very close. Cant wait to see that movie!

“Spider-Man 3″ took in a record $59 million domestically on opening day Friday, breaking the previous all-time high of $55.8 million for “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” in its first day last summer.

Sony Pictures, the studio behind the “Spider-Man” franchise, also reported Saturday that the movie took in an additional $45 million overseas on Friday for a worldwide total of $104 million, a record for single-day grosses globally.
“Spider-Man 3″ opened to record numbers in some countries as early as Tuesday and expanded to other locations over the next few days. Elzer said figures for the film’s total worldwide haul since Tuesday would not be released until Sunday.

MySpace, a popular social networking website operated by the world’s largest media and entertainment company News Corp., announced on April 26 that it is going to make a China foray soon after a long-period investigation on the Chinese market. I think that myspace might be able to grab good number of market share in China and it might become popular their too.
