The budget of "Spider-Man 3" was reportedly set at $300 million.
"We knew what this movie was going to cost, and we hoped that it would be successful," Sony chair Amy Pascal said.
"I don’t think any of us thought it would break records the way it has..."
At 2 hours and 20 minutes, "Spider-Man 3" was released on an unprecedented 4,252 screens across North America.
Pascal said there are 'definite plans' to make yet another sequel to the "Spider-Man" movie franchise.
"We’re going to make a lot more," she said.
According to the BBC, three more "Spider-Man" films will go forward.
