"The Amazing Spider Man" catapulted into the list of Hollywood blockbusters this week, and has sold more than a third of a billion dollars' worth of tickets around the world since opening Monday.
The latest Spiderman flick is projected to have sold $65 million this Friday-Saturday-Sunday period, and has grossed about $140 million since opening Monday night -- an unusual premiere day during a bifurcated U.S. holiday week.
"Ted" and "Brave" are also doing well, according to movie industry beancounter Paul Dergerabedian at Hollywood.com.
