MovieTickets.com report tickets to Spider-Man 3 are selling at three times the rate of Spider-Man 2. Fandango.com is also reporting that tickets to the new movie are selling four times faster than Spidey 2. Original estimates had the third film in line to make $101 million for it’s opening weekend (May 4-6), but now the movie is “tracking to beat all expectations.”
The first Spider-Man has the second biggest opening weekend to date, with almost $115 million. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest holds the number one spot with $135 million.
So could Spider-Man 3 become the new number 2? Our insiders are still saying it’s possibly, but not probable.

Your insiders are out of whack. Spider 3 will make 150 million opening 3 days. It will be #1 quite handily and will come close to 1 billion worldwide when the run is over.

The previous guy may actually be understimating, I saw the movie today and there was not a single seat in a theater at 8am with 6 screens showing the movie every 15 minutes.
