The premiere of Spiderman 3 is still a few days away here in the U.S., but it's already looking like it will shape-up as one of the biggest summer blockbusters of all-time.
This recent story in the Hollywood Reporter backs me up on that thinking:
Moviegoers are buying online tickets to "Spider-Man 3" at a faster clip than they did for its blockbuster predecessor almost two weeks before that film hit theaters, top online ticket sellers said Monday.
Movietickets.com reported that Spidey 3 tickets are selling at three times the rate of "Spider-Man 2" at the same time in the sales cycle and are "tracking to beat all expectations."
"Spider-Man 2" was the third-highest grossing film of 2004 and grossed about $784 million at the box office.
Fandango.com shows the new film is selling four times faster than did the previous movie in the franchise and accounted for 47% of all ticket sales early in the day Monday.
Goes to show you what a good product that doesn't let customers down will get you: Lots of return business, and even more good buzz!
