<H3 class="big sIFR-replaced">Six-day record? Sony says it's fuzzy math

By Hy Hollinger

May 30, 2007
Sony is suggesting that the Walt Disney Co. bent the rules to plunder some boxoffice glory in touting the opening weekend for "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End."

Leaving aside the mind-bending complexity of the dispute, the basic question is this: Did "At World's End" or Sony's "Spider-Man 3" amass the most boxoffice booty over its first six days of global release?

On Tuesday, Sony spokesman Steve Elzer cited "irregularities" in Disney/Buena Vista International's record-setting claims. "At World's End" opened in at least two territories -- Italy and France -- on the previous Tuesday, effectively adding a seventh day of grosses to a span Disney trumpeted as a six-day record, Elzer said.

"We had previews that generated $1.4 million," a BVI representative countered. "And in keeping with industry practice, we rolled it into the opening day."

Arguably, the flap originated when Sony opened "Spider-Man 3" on a Tuesday in 18 overseas markets and later claimed a six-day opening record of $232 million in addition to other more conventional landmarks.

Disney/BVI followed by heralding its "six-day" record of $251 million. But throughout the past weekend, verbal darts were flying -- mostly off the record -- about which distributor included or excluded certain boxoffice figures to bolster their respective claims.

BVI declined to make an official comeback to Elzer's statement.

"While there may or may not be other territories that opened prior to Wednesday, we believe that as more day-and-date releases enter the market, there should be a consistent standard in international boxoffice reporting," Elzer said. "This issue is larger than an opening-week boxoffice statistic."

He added that "for the record," "Spider-Man 3" grossed $418.1 million worldwide in its first seven days, with $256.7 coming from overseas and $161.4 million from North America.

Perhaps industryites should gird themselves for a new battle over whether "At World's End" or "Spider-Man 3" set a new seven-day record.

Is there a record for the best gross of the 121st day in theaters?

ROFL no clue but if there is It's probably held by Titanic

I'm sure SR set a record. The slowest to 200 million. Took 117 days. An average of $ 1.7 million a day.

LOL!! Very funny. Look who's talking, the guy with the FF avatar, which was a dissapontment at the box office and critics. And do you wanna bet that the sequel will be horrible?

Meh I enjoyed it certainly not the best comic movie but i've seen worse it was entertaining. I think so far FF2 looks pretty bad A $$

Trailers can make you see things that are not there. Transformers trailer is pretty cool. Unfortunately, I have the feeling it's gonna be bad.

 

[GL's Light]

Nope, SR is the 8th slowest to reach $ 200 mil. But getting there slowly is better than not getting there at all. Besides, Carp, you should be awestruck since you said at the time that it would take a miracle for it to reach $ 200 mil and, let's face it, it's not every day that you see a miracle.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

which was a dissapontment at the box office

While I can't speak to the rest, the movie was a respectable box office hit. Not a blockbuster mind you, but it certainly pulled in enough money for Fox to immediately OKAY a sequel.

Meh it's all a matter of opinion I think the transformers trailer makes the movie look exactly like what it is crap. Like I said I found the first one entertaining and Im sure the second one will be at least entertaining if not good.

Actually it was just the opposite at the box office. The movie pulled in more money than Fox expected. The critics didn't like it, but a lot of movies that make the best profits don't agree with critics. I'm sure if movie studios had to choose between rave reviews and unexpected profits...they'd choose unexpected profits.

Just ask the WB. SR performed below expectations and received good reviews on average. If the WB could switch the two..I'm sure they would substitute good reviews for higher than expected box office performance.

FF was also more interesting and entertaining than Superman Returns. It also has a sequel releasing...as of yet, it would appear that things are still shaky with that Superman Returns sequel. No official word from the WB.

I liked FF, but SR was more interesting and entertaining in my opinion. It was a better film in all areas. And I thought the official word was SR sequel in 2009 with filming next year after Singer finishes his WWII movie.

I'm a SR fan. But I admit it was a dissapointment at the BO. Heck, they were expecting SM numbers, and look what happened. But the year FF came out so did BB, and you know who made more money. Marvel was expecting those kind of numbers. Because I think many agree with me that SM is the only character that can make billions. Everyone loves spidey ( including me ).

IMO SR took risks, some people like it, some don't. FF was made just to sell toys. Just check RT to see which one people thinks is best. And I'm pretty sure FF2 will do even worse at the BO.
