Although VanRamblings had predicted a couple of days ago that Shrek 2 was on its way to setting a box office record for the month of May, in fact, the Dreamworks release clobbered its way to 3-day weekend record, to become — along with Spiderman — only the second film ever to cross the $100 million mark Friday to Sunday.
How much has Shrek 2 raked in since last Wednesday? Would you believe $125,300,000? If figures hold when final numbers are released on Monday, the total box office will set a new record for a Wednesday release, besting the $124.1 million earned by Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King last December.
