SPIDER-MAN 2 breaks records

"Spider-Man 2" set new records on its opening day, bringing in $40.5 million. The fact that it costs $446 per ticket has nothing to do with it. $40.5 million is a new industry record for best opening day and a new record for best opening on a Wednesday.

The previous record was set by the original "Spider-man" in 2002. Before that, movie tickets cost only $8, so no records were kept.

The projected gross for "Spider-Man 2" is more than the GDP of many countries.
