I really think Shrek is going to bomb hard. The hype and marketing was so little that I think people aren't expecting it.Solo said:

I remember Spiderman 2 being advertised for 4th of July weekend or something, and yeah, they pretty much associated Spiderman with America. I hated that part in the movie, btw. The entire audience at both screenings that I went to groaned and laughed.

I cant imagine anyone thinks it won't make 300 million, but 350 seems completely out of the question now. It's second Friday was less than Pirates 2's first Monday. Yeah, that bad.

Couldn't be any more right. Sam's a great filmmaker.. there must have been forces at work that caused such a talented guy to make such a trainwreck.
I just came back from this movie. Dear god, what did they do to the quality and acting that was found in Spider-Man 2? I feel so dirty for actually having paid money to see this film. The beginning was alright, but as the movie went on it started a slow build of utter cheese, culminating in the American flag moneyshot. I had my face in my hands, shaking it back and forth the entire time.
Not nearly enough Venom, either. Horrible, horrible effort all around, excluding the Jameson scenes. Ugh.
And the jazz bar scene! Somebody gouge my eyes!

I liked it.
I thought the movie was great until they defeated the entire character buildup of
. The last 10 minutes were a trainwreck and turned a really great movie into a pretty good movie.

Harry's revenge and somehow he ends up a good guy
People not seeing Shrek 3 Hype/Commericals......
guess what. Because they aren't shown on channels we watch! Shrek isn't like pixar where there is a lot of adult appeal and excitement. Shrek commericals are all over kiddie stuff like CN, Nick, kids WB...etc
Shrek 3 will make no less than 90 million opening weekend.

Pirates Movies > Spider-Man Movies
Listen, I like you. I do. I tend to agree with you, as well.
But here, good sir, you are wrong. Pirates is quality stuff, Depp is Sparrow is great, but on a whole.... Spider-Man Franchise >>>> Pirates.
Annnd...
Natalie Portman > Keira Knightly

It's bad in the sense that it means the movie won't have long legs at the box office, but you're right, it still made a ton of money. However, any movie that drops of that much, percentage wise, in it's second week, means that word of mouth is working against it. Make no mistake, Spidey 3 is making a ton of cash, and will probably generate another sequel, even if the cast and crew of this one move on, but when ever a movie takes a nose dive like that at the box office, the executives start to wonder what went wrong.
In this case though, the movie is still a colossal success. Sony is going to make a huge proft, but it appears to be doing so on the strength of the first two movies and the huge momentum that the hype for part 3 built up. A 60% drop in ticket sales means that the movie is likely seen as a disappointment by viewers as word spreads about it's quality.
All that said, I don't think it's as bad of a film as some here would lead you to believe. It's not as good as the first two, and it's certainly the victim of hype, but still a decent Summer action movie despite the missteps here and there.
While I agree with you, did anybody expect the movie to pull in another $70-80 million? I mean $151 million is a lot of money and a lot of people went and saw it. You'll have quite a few who will go to two or three showings and that, arguably, propells the box office totals of summer movies quite a bit. But, when a movie does that much business in one week, a vast amount of the audience will have seen the movie. So a sharp decline is expected.Kung Fu Jedi said:

And that means to me? Nothing.
My post was not a comparison between the movie adaptation of the comic, and frankly, I don't even read the comics.
Spider-Man 3 was a terrible film, period. Bad pacing, horribly plotted, people doing things that just don't make much sense. Even the one thing that the two previous movies in the series did right, which is the action, was mediocre at best. I don't know what more reasons I should give for not enjoying it. Just because "these things" were part of the comics does not justify them for being in the movie.

Too a certain degree you are right, but at 35-40% drop is more of what is expected on a film like this. Look at the percentage of drop off on those other big films that were posted earlier and you'll see what I mean.
You also have to look at the competition that comes out in Week 2 of a film as well. SM3 had nothing come out this week to really cannablize ticket sales, and it is showing in more theaters than any movie ever.

Finally saw this last night and....wow. They really ****ed up a great series. It's just mind numbing to me that this film was handled by the same director. The list of stuff that's wrong with it is numerous to list and has probably been touched upon several times over in this thread. But I just had to chime in and proclaim how amazingly disappointing this film is. Stunnigly bad.

what is the one more reason? Also, what is it about it that makes you love it?Dr_Cogent said:
Love it.
Now I have one more reason to love it.
Working at a theater and watching this thing on my lunch breaks, I'm starting to realize how much I love this movie. I mean, it's worse than the other two and sort of ruined the series, especially the Harry plot, but the dumb humor is so awesome. It's enjoyable as hell.
P.S. What does "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye" mean?

Spider-Man 3 is fun in a Superman III kind of way.
It's OK if you're going in with the mindset of it being silly and over-the-top.
If you're expecting something as even-keeled and consistent as Spider-Man 1 or 2, then you'll be let down.

So he could do "the Twist" with MJ while making eggs.
Seriously I think it was primarily (plot-wise) to make the audience think that MJ would cheat on Peter with Harry while Peter was getting closer to Gwen ... which obviously couldn't happen if he was still evil Harry.
Of course this all paid off with the hillarious evil Harry blackmailing MJ thing; capped off with the pie eating scene ("it's so good") :lol
