AOTC beats Spider-Man record -- sort of

The weekend total for AOTC is an estimated $116 million, just over Spider-Man's 114 million, but for 4 days instead of 3. Details here:

You seem to be comparing apples to oranges.

seeing that aotc is bringing in around $30 million a day right now, that means that it didn't even come close... $114 mil spiderman to $85 mil

And Spidey still brought in $40 some million on it's third weekend out, against ATOC! Spidey still rules and the SW fans just have to accept it...

i wouldn't go that far... but still, fair is fair.

Yes, Spider-Man is well ahead.

I don't see the facination with SpiderMan. The story is tired and old. Superman shit all over again.

The actual WEEKEND total was 86.2 Million.

Where are you getting this information about 'good buzz' from non-core fans? Everything we've seen here on the Internet indicates that the HARD CORE fans love it, but ordinary people and casual fans do not.

<...> : ANH 5-25-77 Wednesday : ESB 5-21-80 Wednesday : ROTJ 5-25-83 Wednesday : TPM 5-19-99 Wednesday : : So the Thursday opening of AOTC was a bit of a departure in that there is : actually one LESS day between opening night and the weekend. :

Hmmm it's interesting though, when I went to see AOTC yesterday the girl at the cash was telling the guy in front of me that Star Wars was kind of quiet that day & that most people were going to Spiderman. Just an observation, it makes no difference whatsoever to me which film makes more money as they aren't making me ANY money
