Spidey Stays on Top in its Second Weekend

May 13 2007 - 11:20pm

What do Lindsay Lohan, Zach Braff and zombies have in common? None of them can touch Spider-Man 3 [0]. In its second weekend, the web-slinger stayed strong at the box office, bringing in an estimated $60 million more [1] and easily taking the No. 1 spot.

Sure, $60 million is nothing compared to the $151 million Spider-Man 3 racked up in its first weekend [2], but none of the weekend's other movies came close. Horror flick 28 Weeks Later [3], the sequel to 2002's 28 Days Later [4], slid in at No. 2 with $10 million. Lindsay Lohan, Felicity Huffman and Jane Fonda's Georgia Rule [4] snagged just $5.8 million to finish third.

Disturbia [4] finished fourth, while new release Delta Farce [5] brought in $3.5 million and finished sixth. The weekend's other major new release, Zach Braff's The Ex [5], finished at No. 11 with a puny $1.3 million.

It's been a pretty easy ride for Spidey so far, but things will get tougher next weekend when he has to compete with a big green ogre as Shrek the Third [5] premieres.
