Monday Morning Box Office Report: May 7, 2007
This is why you don’t want to put your movie up against a massive blockbuster in its opening weekend. Spider-Man 3 obliterated the competition, shattering the record for first weekend box office with $148 million (the previous record was held by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with $135 million). The next closest movie was only $143 million behind, as Disturbia managed to stay a top the rest of the pack with $5.72 million. Lucky You, the only other new major release for the week, placed a distant 6th with $2.52 million. Whether or not the critics and fanboys liked Spider-Man 3 seems to be a moot point, because this is definitely a hot start for the summer movie season.
1. Spider-Man 3 — $148M
2. Disturbia — $5.72M
3. Fracture — $3.5M
4. The Invisible — $3.12M

Posted by Chopper Sr. on May 7th, 2007is there still anyone who really thinks Transformers is going to outdo this?
Posted by Goon on May 7th, 2007No, not Transformers. I think Shrek or Pirates are the only ones that have a shot at topping it this summer.
Posted by Sean on May 7th, 2007No way with Shrek or Transformers. Pirates maybe, but many were disappointed with Shrek 2.
