‘Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark’ hits new earning record
More money in a week than Steve Ditko has seen from Spider-Man, ever.
Look who’s sporting a big smile behind his mask on Broadway — none other than the once-mocked Spider-Man. The Broadway League reported Tuesday that “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” took in a whopping $2,941,790 over nine performances last week, which is the highest single-week gross of any show in Broadway history.The musical shattered the old record held by “Wicked,” which last January recorded the then-highest one-week take on Broadway with a $2,228,235 haul, though over an eight-show week.

Let Phil Muschnick write the piece, he’ll tie it to pro wrestling somehow.
And I’m not sure about the Ditko comment. I was under the impression that a very nice arrangement was made with Mr. D before the release of the Spider-Man film. He’s certainly getting co-creator credit on both the films and the cartoon. I heard a (very likely apocryphal) story where he refused a cash payment, only wanting the creator credit.
