Unfortunately we have to wait till Friday to see Spidey 3 but Asia and Europe get first crack as the studios are attempting to combat piracy by releasing the film ahead of the US release date. Spidey 3 is bashing all records across Asia and Europe with Italy taking in 4 million on just 900 screens and Germany taking in 4.6 million via 870 screens. Could their strategy be working? Will this affect piracy? Or could the high sales simply be due to the popularity of Spiderman III? Only time will tell...
