Spider-Man 3 Sets Box Office Records

The movie "Spider-Man 3" sold over 500,000 tickets on its first day of release, the nation's highest opening ticket sales ever.

The film's distributor said that the superhero sequel played on six-hundred-17 screens on Tuesday. It broke the record set last year by the domestic hit "The Host", which had opening ticket sales of 450,000.

The distributor added that the number of screens would increase since more theaters were asking for additional prints ahead of Children's Day this weekend.
