Spiderman-2, just saw it this afternoon..........very good movie......better than the first as they spent more time on the internal dynamics of the characters. Best movie of the year so far easily for me as I was very entertained and found some parts even touching, which I didn't expect. Its no ROTK however but then again, what is?
I have yet to see a brilliant movie released this year but its unfair to compare Spidey to that. Spidey 2 is just a whole lot of fun, so go! A pleasant surprise........high quality.........very good. But come on Greg.......it won't be posting Titanic numbers. Anyone who's studied box office receipts over the years knows this. That did $600 Million domestic and more importantly, $1.8 BILLION worldwide. The closest to that even is ROTK, which did $1.18 Billion.
Spiderman is more akin to Star Wars. Its more popular here in N. America than it is the rest of the world:
Spider-Man's Box Office:
Domestic: $403,706,375 49.1%
+ Overseas: $418,002,176 50.9%
That ratio, ideally, for a true universal blockbuster, should be more like Domestic 34% and Overseas 66%.
But once again, I don't want to take anything away from SM2; go see this movie! It was really very good.
Thank you Sam Raimi.
