The Spider-Man trilogy re-release has had an incredibly successful run thus far. Spider-Man 2 made over $1,000,000 domestically, and that’s on tickets going for $5 a pop! Sam Raimi, always a humble king, had this to say about the success of the rerelease. 

«I really appreciate the crowd liking the movies. I think it probably has to do with the character Stan Lee created and how he recognizes that we’re all capable of making the right choice and doing good. And when that’s put into a story or a movie, people are energized because they know it’s true. They can make the right choices, they can do the right thing. And to see it play out on the screen is affirming.»

I wish he could pat himself on the back a bit more, but he’s not wrong about Stan Lee’s contributions. If you are shaking with anticipation for the Spider-Man 3 re-release, you can momentarily tide yourself over with some Marvel memes.
