Well, Spidey was in early May.
HP3, hmm...I think it was either November or December.

Checked TFN this morning and it said that within just two days the box office reached $85 million!!!
That is just so incredible.

Certainly is!
For Saturday, I'm hoping for something in the $40m range...hopefully around the $44m mark.
I think the Weekend record (Spidey's $114m-odd) could still be close. We'll need a great Saturday and as small a Sunday drop as possible. But the 4-day record should be toast.

I've been doing my part to contribute... been to four showings, all with several friends. 
I'm waiting for the Saturday totals... shouldn't be too long before they're up.

We need to start doing what S-M fans did in 2002... if you end up going to see another film, buy a ticket for ROTS anyway and just go into the film you want to see.

Who would want to see another film on ROTS' opening weekend though?

I'm talking about down the road, when other film actually come out and ROTS is still lingering in theaters.
S-M fans who wanted to see AOTC actally bought tickets to S-M 2 and then walked in to see AOTC.

Now there's a plan! Stuff the ballot boxes by buying extra tickets. I like it. I'll do that if I go see other movies were ROTS is playing.

Okay, weekend estimates are in from Box Office Mojo.
Friday - $33.8m (-32.4%)
Saturday - $40.9m (+21%)
Sunday - $33.8m (-17.4%)
Weekend - $108.5m
4-day - $158.5m
The Sunday drop is good, but I'd prefer the Saturday gross to be a bit higher.
This wouldn't break Spidey's $114m-odd weekend record, but would be juuuust ahead of Shrek 2's $108m and finish in the 2nd spot.
It would smash the 4-day total, though.
We'll have the actual figures by Monday afternoon/evening.

I hate the fact that an utterly forgettable film like Spiderman is now the standard of excellence. Talk about a film full of terrible CG and cheesy acting with no plot!

I was really disappointed when I finally got to see Spiderman. After all the hype, it just seemed kinda...there. Fine. Good enough for government work. But didn't hold my attention at all.
After being wowed by AOTC and TTT that year, Spidey was the only one that I felt a bit let down by...everyone thought I was a nutcase

Exactly. I'm not a big fan of LOTR, but I can respect it and wouldn't hold a grudge if it was in the lead. But Spiderman seems no different than your average run-of-the-mill action flick. It would be like if 'Con Air' or 'Tango and Cash' held the top spot all-time. Plus I really feel it had the worst CG that I've ever seen. Every time they showed him swinging around I was pulled right out of the movie because it looked terrible.
Well what's the next big piece of competition coming up? Is it Batman or War of the Worlds? Because ROTS will keep pulling big numbers until another blockbuster comes out.

We better beat the weekend record for Spiderman. If there's any blockbuster that deserves that record, it's RotS.
