I saw this movie last week and have been hesitating to write about it. Frankly, I am appalled. THIS is what society has come to---indulging in what can only be called a musical masquerading as a comic book-action movie.
I have deleted the seemingly erroneous information. Thanks for pointing out inconsistencies. However, the movie did top the bar for the highest grossing in the opening weekend. There appear to be a plethora of reasons for its monetary success, but it is impossible to say anything about beating out other, higher grossing movies, let alone becoming numero uno of all time, considering it is still in theaters.

They purposely set out to achieve high gross sales on opening day by doing something that most movies do not do: open worldwide on the same day. Most films stagger opening days to usually open first in the US, Europe and Japan a week or so later, and elsewhere still later. This, coupled with the hype the marketing (both commercial and viral) set up was bound to be a..... I would say recipe, but it's more like a mathematical equation.... for success.
It is not, so far, the highest grossing film of all time, Titanic still holds that title and LOTR3 comes in second 700 million dollars behind. Spider-man 3 is #22 on the all-time list.
Spider-man 3 also benefits from the inertia built by the previous 2 films - which weren't as terrible. Im guessing a hypothetical Spiderman 4 film wouldn't be as well received given this one's poor reviews.
Yeah, I admit that I didn't check the stats myself as far as highest grossing. That Titanic still holds it is a bit surprising I suppose.
However, the movie still bit. :)
Haha. I despise that movie for two reasons. One because it was terrible, and two (and this is the most important reason) for making James Cameron famous. I STILL get retarded jokes when people realize the similarity between my "Camron James" and his bastardization of my name.
And of course, they say it like they are the first person to ever say anything about it. Ugh.
You poor thing. At least your name is pronounceable.
I amended my post yet again.
Haha. I'm probably completely wrong, but it does not seem terribly difficult to pronounce.
The joke is about as old to me as people who insist on mentioning the fact that one of my irises is distinctly 2 different colors by saying "Did you know your eye was 2 colors?" Really? Wow, I've gone my entire life without any one else noticing, including myself. Thanks for informing me!
