Spider-Man 3 premieres in Tokyo The third and perhaps final installment of the blockbuster Spider-Man film series made its global debut in Tokyo on April 16, featuring two new villains -- Sandman and Venom -- and promising a potential gold rush for electronics and entertainment giant Sony. Stars Toby Maguire and Kirsten Dunst took a walk down the red carpet for the premiere, held at a ritzy Tokyo arena in drizzling rain. Japan, where Sony is headquartered, is a major market for the film and related merchandise. The initial Spider-Man took in $114.8 million in its first weekend in 2002, a record at the time. But three may be all. "I feel like this film is kind of a natural conclusion to a lot of stuff that's happened in the first two movies. It kind of feels like a natural trilogy," said Maguire.
