Silent Assassin just told me Spiderman III broke the box in HK, besting Kung Fu Hustle's record by nearly twice as much take.


Spiderman 3 Opens, Earns $29M (http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1617080,00.html)

(LOS ANGELES) — "Spider-Man 3" cast a worldwide web with a blockbuster first day, hauling in $29.15 million in 16 overseas markets and beating the debuts of the previous two "Spider-Man" flicks in each locale.

The film had the best opening day ever Tuesday in some countries, including France, Italy, South Korea and Hong Kong, distributor Sony Pictures said.

"Spider-Man 3" opens over the next couple of days in dozens of other countries, including the United States on Friday.

"`Spider-Man' is a worldwide franchise, and the thing we're most excited about is that in two pretty completely separate parts of the world we've gotten off to a great start," Jeff Blake, Sony vice chairman, said Wednesday. "We certainly hope for the same in North America."

Domestically, 2002's "Spider-Man" opened with $114.8 million in its first weekend, a record debut that stood until "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" shattered it last year with a $135.6 million weekend.

"Spider-Man 2" opened on a Wednesday before the Fourth of July weekend in 2004, pulling in a record $180.1 million in its first six days.

The two previous films combined for a total of $1.6 billion worldwide, about half of that coming in the United States.

In France, "Spider-Man 3" took in $6.8 million on opening day, more than the first-day grosses there for "Spider-Man" and "Spider-Man 2" combined.

It grossed $4.6 million in Germany, $4 million in Italy, $3.7 million in Japan, $3.4 million in South Korea, $1.1 million in the Philippines and $1 million each in Hong Kong and Thailand.

The third installment in director Sam Raimi's superhero series, "Spider-Man 3" reunites Tobey Maguire as the web-slinger, Kirsten Dunst as the love of his life and James Franco as his old pal turned enemy.

Adapted from the Marvel comic books, the film also introduces two new villains, Thomas Haden Church as the Sandman and Topher Grace as Venom.

Along with bad guys, Spidey ends up battling his own dark side as he fights the temptation to use his powers for evil after an alien entity infects his superhero outfit.

Saw it last night.

Much more comic-book and the previous adaptations . . .

some fun surprises as well.

I was never fond of Venom in the comic but it played out well in the film by really expanding the "Marvel Universe" of the Silver Screen.

SPIDER-MAN 3: A Different Spin on the Web (http://ezine.kungfumagazine.com/ezine/article.php?article=708) by Dr. Craig Reid

this sh!t was whack. i'm gonna hit sam raimi with beng chuan to the chest when i see him for this awefull movie. i saw it on imax and imax always makes the crapiest movies look better and it still sucked. what the hell was up with all the stupid saturday night fever struts and the ****ing dancing. and how the hell you gonna have spider man crying three times in the movie and crying like ***** at that. nonono this movie was bad. the action was good, but i hated it.

[SevenStar]

the movie was great. the only things I really didn't care for were the matrix style aerial fight scenes and venom's "death" - they leave it open as to whether or not he's dead, but if they are keeping with the comic, then he should be very much alive. what's wrong with spidey crying? he may be an awesome fighting, cynical smartass, but peter parker is a geek to his heart. naturally, he's more sensitive than other marvel characters.

I wouldn't mind seeing another installment, possibly with carnage and someone else - rhino or electro, maybe.

Can't wait to see silver surfer in FF2 - he is the only reason I wanna see that movie.

[Shaolinlueb]

it was ok. im kinda disapointed with the whole venom thing though. next movie should have venom and spiderman with kraven hunting them both ;)

[jethro]

I never finished watchign Spiderman 2, hopefully they give a recap in part 3.

[5Animals1Path]

American cinema weaps for the death of any real tragedy.


Who cares if he's redeemed? He never did anything worth caring about any real redemption.







That aside, massive props to Tommy Church for 'roidin out. He was fricken huge.

[SevenStar]

I never finished watchign Spiderman 2, hopefully they give a recap in part 3.

No.

you could always go rent it though...

[doug maverick]

they did recap the first two movies in the opening of spider man 3. don't know what you were watching sevenstar

[Shaolinlueb]

*SPOILER*

























i didnt like how they handled venom. i thought he should have just been saved for the next movie instead of trying to fit him in the last 30 minutes or so. i hope he didnt die cause that would be stupid to have one of spidermans most popular villians be dead and only have 30 minutes of show time. sandman served a good purpose and i like how he was done.

i know they are making a 4th one but i dont know if toby mcguire will be in it. he said probably maybe. if they do i would like to see a movie revolving around spiderman vs venom. maybe throw kraven in there to hunt the two or something.

they have scorpian, electro, mysterio, the vulture, hydroman (correct name?) rhino, the lizard, hobgoblin, demogoblin, and carnage as good villians they could still use. there are others but they were in other movies. ie kingpin. i have the original marvel series card sets 1-5. i have to look up, i know i am missing some people.

[doug maverick]

alot of people been talking about the whole kraven thing, and i think that would be an execellent way to go they should save venom thou for like part five or something.

[Shaolinlueb]

kraven would be fun, but i dont think he could carry it as bad guy alone. he's a cool badguy, but many people dont know who he is. green goblin i always disliked.) i would like to see lizard or scorpian personally. sinister six would be too much for 1 movie. hobgoblin would be nice, but how much of goblins can we take on flyer's?

[Etrikkin]

now i know movies have to put in there glitz-n-glam and stuff but the funny thing is.
if you took lets say 20 comics in the numbered order like 1-20.
BAM you have a movie with enough action and drama for all viewers.

I guess what i'm saying is i like movies that follow the books as best they can and comics themselve are packed with plots. Some big some small. You have all thats needed for a great movie in most comic. With today tech you could make thing in them come alive.

As for spidey 3 it had tomany villains for 1 movie it should've been broken up.

[Shaolinlueb]

another spoiler

venom's total screen time from the church tower to the end is 22 minutes.

[GeneChing]

The daughter of a friend of mine said that Spiderman 3 is "Spiderman goes emo." She's totally right. I mean, look at Parker's hair. :p

I hate emo...

[doug maverick]

me and all my friends said, one of my partners bought 50 seats at the imax for all his employees to go see it and i snatched up two ticks, for me and my girly. and i'm so glad i saw it for free, spider man was crying like a *****, and when he went dark he was just super emo. again i say somebody needs to smakc sam raimi in the head so he could wake the **** up.

[doug maverick]

so spider man four has been scrapped and raimi and the entire cast is out....and i gotta say im kinda happy. but what im not happy about is sony's plan to reboot the entire series from scratch making it more dark and gritty like batman which to me is a wrong move for spider man....also the person on the super short list to play spider man...and this is just what i heard from a good source this is not in the news reports but my sources tell me taylor lautner is on the super short list to play spiderman...but he has plenty of films lined up. so we'll see...there are a few othr names that would be better picks then taylor. and they should ait till action man comes out to check the reception because if the fanboys dont like taylor, they will sink spider man...

[@PLUGO]

Hollywood News (http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00030185.html) noticed a retweet by "Adulthood" director Noel Clarke to British actor Arnold Oceng. He mentioned that Sturgess has been offered the part in upcoming "Spider-Man" film.
"Got inside track. jim sturgess has bin offerd the new spiderMan in spiderMan reboot, U knw I always get da inside scoop."

[doug maverick]

i'd take sturges over lautner...nothing wrong with lautner but i just dont see him as spiderman

[Lucas]

I think justin bartha would be a great peter parker, he has the look, if compared to classic spider man parker.

looks way to old to play a high school, student.

[Lucas]

i guess im talking older parker, when hes maried to M J and is in his 20's. where hes always scruffy and getting beat up by the sinister 6 and all that fun stuff.

:D

im tired of teeny heros

:(

[doug maverick]

i mean he would totally be a good fit...why they are rebooting this is beyond me. sony might get effed in the Ae. for doing it. but we'll see its all how they repackage it.

[Zenshiite]

I'm hoping that Sony drops the ball on this big time and the rights revert back to Marvel, so they can do it in-house and knock it out of the park.

And, you know what, Spider-Man 3 mostly sucked because of Sony. Raimi didn't want to do Venom, and though I like Venom they should've listened to Raimi on this one, and hence why he was criminally underused. Raimi isn't into the McFarlane era and McFarlane made Venom what he is. That movie would've been awesome if it had only been the Sandman and "New Goblin" stuff sans the symbiot suit & emo-Parker. Throwing in Venom was completely unnecessary and completely wasted. Which is kind of Raimi's way of saying to the studio "screw you" for messing with what he was doing. They, unfortunately, didn't get the memo and wouldn't agree on a script with Raimi.

This reboot will bite them in the ass eventually, especially if the studio goes a direction they seemed to be attempting to force on Raimi. Dark and edgy simply isn't Spider-Man for the most part. It's not like Spider-Man 1 and 2 are consider two of the greatest superhero movies ever made, up there with Iron Man, and Batman Begins and The Dark Knight or anything...

[doug maverick]

actually when raimi said he couldnt complete four on time, they washed out the whole crew including raimi, its just been confirmed that marc webb, director of 500 days of summer(great movie btw) and a ton of really cool music videos, well be the director for the reboot. even if the movie flops(EXTREMELY, HIGHLY DOUBTFUL) doesnt mean the right revert back to marvel. it doesnt work that way.. sony retains the rights as long as they keep making spider man films within a certain amount of years. which is why fox called wolverine, "X-men origins:". from what i hear marvel is going to be concentrating on there other lesser known but still popular hero's to make movies with. besides having cap, iron, hulk, and a ton of other tent poles.

[Lucas]

booya. personally id like to see the spiderman/wolverine/wendigo series, it'll never happen and it would get ruined if it did, but i loved that storyline

[Lucas]

a couple mcfarlane covers. love his style. i remember reading hes the one that actually gave spidey his in insane flexability in his action poses.

I'm aware of that. In theory the Marvel/Disney alliance could buy back the rights to Spidey. Marvel's going to make tons of dough off the Avengers stuff. Sony is screwing the pooch here. Especially if they actually go with the whole "focus on teen angst rather than crime fighting" bit they announced in conjunction with Marc Webb as director. Basing it on Ultimate Spider-Man, one of the least popular of the Ultimate books almost universally hated by readers.

[doug maverick]

the rights to spider man is worth billions...disney is not going to give marvel that kind of money, for spider man...would it be worth it probably.. but thats alot of capital and it would probably be the highest pay outs for the rights of an intellectual property in history. and sony wouldnt sell it for anything short, if at all. if this doesnt work they are just going go back to the drawing board.

[Lucas]

just let me play spiderman, i got it down.

Probably not, but like I said... that's what I'd like to see. Disney doesn't have to pay Marvel for anything... Disney owns Marvel, BTW.

I'd be on board with a reboot if Sony would let it stew for a while instead of trying to rush it out there to attempt to cash in on the whole teen angst Twilight thing. You can't do that with Spider-Man, it's a ludicrous proposal.

i didnt say that disney would pay marvel...i said disney wouldnt give marvel that kind of money. marvel is owned by disney, not absorbed into disney, its still its owned compartmentalized entity, much the way abc is and miramax is. marvel gets an annual budget to produce a certain amount of films a year, im guessing disney will want to at least make four a year. so if marvel buys back the rights from sony they would have to go to papa disney for the money...thus why i said marvel wouldnt give disney that kind of money. mainly because right now no bank would approve that, neither any bonding company and disney wouldnt spend its own money.comprende?

[Zenshiite]

Gotcha. I thought you had some wires crossed there on the ownership of Marvel.

It's neither here nor there, really. At some point Marvel's getting Spidey back. It may be at least a decade or so. Which is probably the best time for a reboot, IMO. Incredible Hulk was a sort of maybe reboot/maybe sequel to Hulk. Was definitely way better of a film. So I wouldn't say it's necessarily a precident for Sony is doing with Spidey. Especially this soon after a wildly successful trilogy regardless of how people feel about 3.

It's odd they want to focus on teen angst Spidey though. There's got to be some other franchise out there to tap into the Twilight market that this would seemingly be aimed at. Jeez, maybe they'll kick it off with Mobius just to have that vampire presence.

I know, I know - the Spiderman 3 (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?46169-Spiderman-3) thread I'm posting this on is the old spiderman 3, not the upcoming Spider-man 3. Still gonna use it because Daredevil (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?19985-DareDevil).


Daredevil in Spider-Man 3: Charlie Cox Reportedly Joins Marvel Cast (https://comicbook.com/marvel/news/spider-man-3-daredevil-charlie-cox-cast/)
By BRANDON DAVIS - December 9, 2020 11:16 pm EST



It looks like the holidays came early for the Save Daredevil crowd because Charlie Cox has reportedly joined the sprawling cast of Spider-Man 3, reprising his role as Matt Murdock from the canceled Netflix series. This would be Daredevil's first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, appearing alongside Peter Parker in the joint production with Sony Pictures. Cox last appeared as Daredevil over two years ago, and now Netflix's rights to the character have reverted back to Marvel Studios for future projects. This is only the latest surprise casting notice, as it sounds like Spider-Man 3 could explore the multiverse and include different eras in the Wall Crawler's cinematic history.

Cox joining Spider-Man 3 comes on rumors and reports which are getting hard to keep up with at this point, with this Cox news coming from often-accurate Murphy's Multiverse. For weeks, there have been claims including the following: Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield will play their respective Spider-Man characters, again. Kirsten Dunst will reprise her role as Mary Jane. Alfred Molina has been on set playing his Doc Ock character from the original trilogy. Jamie Foxx is playing Electro from The Amazing Spider-Man 2, again. "Anything is possible," Foxx told ComicBook.com when asked if te rumors are true.

J.K. Simmons has already reprised J. Jonah Jameson in the post-credits scene of Spider-Man: Far From Home. With Benedict Cumberbatch playing his Doctor Strange character in Spider-Man 3, as well, it seems the multiverse stories are finally going to bee blown wide open leading into Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

Back in April, ComicBook.com's Adam Barnhardt talked with Cox in preparation for a Daredevil-themed Quarantine Watch Party. At that time, Cox denied any involvement with Spider-Man 3. "I hadn't heard those rumors, but it's certainly not with my Daredevil. I'm not involved in it," Cox tells us. "If that's true, it's not with me. It's with another actor." This, of course, falls in line with Hailee Steinfeld denying reports of being cast as Kate Bishop and now being spotted on the set of Hawkeye in a comics-accurate costume.

The film and TV rights to television recently reverted from Netflix back to Marvel Studios and Disney. If these reports turn out to be true then it will be the first time Kevin Feige's team at Marvel Studios have acknowledged the existence of Marvel TV properties. Whether or not the Netflix characters or other Marvel TV titles which were overseen by Jeph Loeb will be part of the main Marvel Cinematic Universe or tied to it through multiverse stories and alternate realities, remains to be seen.

Spider-Man 3 is slated for release in December of 2021.

Alright now - I originally added the post above was on the Spiderman-3 (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?46169-Spiderman-3) because I was too lazy to make a Spiderman 3: Homeworlds (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?71983-Spider-man-3-Homeworlds) thread. I just did that now and am adding Daredevil (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?19985-DareDevil) for good measure, plus dropping this on the Superbowl LV (http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?71982-Superbowl-LV) thread because that one didn't go anywhere.
