Spider-Man 3 breaks more records

This time, it's Europe

Variety reports today that Spider-Man 3 set opening day records in 10 of the 16 markets in which it opened yesterday. In Italy, for example, it earned $4 million, beating the previous record of $2.5 million, held by The DaVinci Code. Sony invested $3.3 million in marketing there.

In France, SM3 earned $6.8 million, ahead of Star Wars: Episode III. In terms of ticket sales, that's 175,334 for Spidey, 124,664 for the Sith.

Records were also set in Germany, Belgium and Egypt.

I'm figuring if I go Monday, I might be able to get a seat.
