Spiderman 3 Will Open in China Before U.S.

Spiderman made 43 million yuan in China. Spidey II made 55 million yuan. Perhaps SIII will do better.

Maybe, we can watch pirated copies in the US now, before they hit the big screen. 

Have you ever bought a pirated DVD?

I bought U-543 when I was in Beijing to watch on my laptop coming home on a 15 hour flight. It didn't work.
