Outside North America, it is the 23rd-highest-grossing film, the highest-grossing film of Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" trilogy, and the third-highest-grossing film distributed by Sony/Columbia. On its opening day (Tuesday, May 1, 2007), "Spider-Man 3" grossed $29.2 million from 16 territories, an 86% increase from the intake of "Spider-Man 2" on its first day of release. In 10 of the 16 territories, "Spider-Man 3" set new opening-day records. These territories are Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, the Philippines, France, and Italy. In Germany, the film surpassed the opening-day gross of "Spider-Man 2". During its six-day opening weekend (through its first Sunday), the film earned $230.5 million from 107 markets, finishing #1 in all of them. "Spider-Man 3" set opening-weekend records in 29 markets including Italy, China, South Korea (the latter was first surpassed by ""), India, Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Indonesia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, and Peru. However, many of these records were achieved thanks to its six-day opening, while previous record-holders in some countries opened over the traditional three-day weekend (traditional two-, four-, or five-day weekend in other countries). In India, it grossed $16.4 million and was the seventh-highest-grossing film of 2007 there. "Spider-Man 3" was in first place at the box office outside North America for three consecutive weekends.
