'Matrix Reloaded' Sets Opening Day Record - AOL CEO
LANSDOWNE, Va. (Reuters) - "The Matrix Reloaded" grossed a record $42.5 million on its opening day on Thursday, said the chief executive of AOL Time Warner, which owns the Warner Bros. studio that produced the movie.
"The Matrix did $42,475,000. ... That's the largest one-day opening in the history of movies," AOL Time Warner CEO Dick Parsons said on Friday at the company's annual meeting.
The one-day start puts the Matrix well on its way to breaking the box-office records for an opening weekend. Last year's "Spider-Man" holds the record for a best three-day opening with $114.8 million in ticket sales.
The movie made its nationwide debut on Thursday, playing in a little over 3,600 theaters and on 8,500 movie screens. m e l a n i s m
