‘Spider’ Sequel Set for May 2004
A “Spider-Man” sequel is already in the works, after the film broke box office records in its $114 million opening weekend.
“Spider-Man 2” will hit theaters in exactly two years: May 7, 2004. Stars Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst will reprise their roles as Spider-Man and girlfriend Mary Jane in the sequel, and filming is scheduled to begin early next year.
“Spider-Man,” based on the popular comic book series created by Stan Lee, has broken several box office records since its release Friday.
On Saturday, “Spider-Man” posted the best single day gross in history, with more than $43.5 million. The film took only three days to hit the magic $100 million mark, also a record. And with a take of more than $31,500 dollars per screen, it boasts the biggest per-screen average in history for a movie in wide release.
