'Spider-Man' soars

Variety: "'Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark' surged at the box office last week, with sales swinging upward in a frame fueled by summertime tourist traffic.
Most of the Main Stem's larger-scale draws climbed, but it was 'Spider-Man' ($1,702,866) that stood out thanks to a stellar $430,000 (or 34%) bump up from the prior sesh. That tally indicates that, at least for now, the show's latest round of unenthusiastic reviews hasn't dented theatergoer interest. The cliffhanger, of course, is whether the show can continue to post those major numbers after the summer, when tourist biz dries up."
