Tobey Maguire puts on his Spider-Man 3 garb and partners up with Kirsten Dundst and Sony Pictures to take aim at the top ten in the All-Time USA Box Office rankings.
The flick has broken records in every Asia country it has opened in this week and figures from Europe are likely to say the same is true there. The UK and America are eating their hearts out knowing the rest of the world is seeing this movie first...also a first. At least, we don't have to worry about IPR violations, eh?
Question: Do Tobey, Kirsten, Spidey and Sony have what it takes to crack the Top Ten All-Time USA Box Office Rankings?
Here are IMDB's Top Ten
| Rank | Title | USA Box Office |
| 1. | Titanic (1997) | $600,779,824 |
| 2. | Star Wars (1977) | $460,935,665 |
| 3. | Shrek 2 (2004) | $436,471,036 |
| 4. | E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) | $434,949,459 |
| 5. | Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) | $431,065,444 |
| 6. | Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) | $423,032,628 |
| 7. | Spider-Man (2002) | $403,706,375 |
| 8. | Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) | $380,262,555 |
| 9. | The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) | $377,019,252 |
| 10. | Spider-Man 2 (2004) | $373,377,893 |
The first two Spider-Man flicks have grossed more than $750 million. It seems a given that the triology will make $1 billion for Sony.
So...what is it about a flick that gives it such marketability?
I didn't even like Spider-Man growing up.
Will you be throwing your ticket stub into the $1 billion pile?
