"SPIDER-MAN 3" Creates HIstory; Sets World Box-Office Afire . . . . . . . . . .

Very good news for all Spidey fans!! It was expected! The box-office result of Spider-Man 3 is out. That too for 1 day!

It's broken the all time opening day record.

Spider-Man 3 cast the widest web ever—over 10,000 screens at 4,252 theaters—and nabbed the all-time biggest gross for a single day: an estimated $59 million on Friday.

The previous title holder, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, drew $55.8 million on 8,500 screens at 4,133 theaters, contributing to a record-breaking $135.6 million weekend last July.

Distributor Sony projected Saturday morning that Spider-Man 3 would generate from $135 million to $145 million for the weekend (Friday to Sunday). The studio claimed a $258 million production budget for the Marvel Comics sequel, compared to $200 million for Spider-Man 2 and $139 million for Spider-Man.

By shattering the opening day record, Spider-Man 3 followed the path of the first two movies in the franchise as Spider-Man's $39.4 million and Spider-Man 2's $40.4 million set new benchmarks. Adjusted for ticket price inflation, those days would equal around $45 million and $43 million, respectively.

Additionally, Spider-Man 3 raked in $45 million overseas on Friday. Combined with domestic's $59 million, the sequel pulled in $104 million worldwide, the highest-grossing day ever for a single picture.

Eventually, in India too, where *only* Bollywood films reign, it has surpassed all its Hindi competitors. It has taken the best start of the year in India. It's opening rangeg from 90% - 100 %. No film this year (or any foreign language film ever) has done it before.

Spider-Man 3 Production Video: Costumes of Spidey . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The release of the most anticipated movie this season is 5 days away (why???, someone give me a time machine!!!). Well, we are always dazzled and enthralled by the excellent looks of our very own superhero Spider-Man. His red-blue color costumes transports us into the world we can never dream of. So the credit goes to the people who work day and night for our visual treat.


In this video, we see how the suits are created. It's truly unbelievable to see how much effort they put forth. Watch this: just to create the web on the costumes they create a back liquid stuff and pour it into the layout and polishing...........it's beyond my reach. I am flabbergasted. In this video, head speciality costumer Shownee Smith and his team demonstrate everything.

Waiting!!!!!!!

SPIDER-MAN 3 Production Video: LIGHT STAGE ................................

When we see our favourite superhero on screen, we always overlook the technical aspect behind it. We don't know anything about the things which compel us to believe that the visuals are true. One such technical aspect is the lighting, which forces us to enter the make-believe world. The video here discusses some exotic digital lighting effects here. The Digital FX Supervisor, Peter Nofz elaborates some of the most complex parts very simply. It's possible for anyone to absorb the mechanics behind it. It also shows how they are done.
