How Spiderman saved New York and Marvel Entertainment ? And,How about Spiderman3 as a bollywood musical ??
One of the best sequels ever made, can be the expression for the new movie spiderman 3. I saw the movie on friday along with my friend and the movie was made with a best commercial formula.
But the most interesting aspect was that the character of Peter Benjamin Parker — alias Spider-Man — had aged nearly 40 years from the time he first appeared in the pages of Amazing Fantasy #15 in 1962, to when he exploded on the Hollywood screen in 2001’s first blockbuster Spider-Man movie. And he certainly seemed to have aged well. But perhaps even more impressive is how he rescued the firm that created him. For Marvel Entertainment’s financial fate — and with it, that of Spider-Man and his Marvel superhero brethren — had been hanging by a thread.
In 1996, Marvel was in bankruptcy, its vast assemblage of 5,000 comic-book characters in a kind of hibernation. But new CEO Isaac Perlmutter understood the power of nostalgia among baby boomers and, under his direction, old characters were revived and reborn on the big screen through licensing deals. Thanks, to “Spidey,” as well as Wolverine and the Incredible Hulk, by 2004 Marvel’s revenues from movie licenses and merchandise accounted for more than half its $513 million in revenues and much of its $125 million in profits.

Marvel’s resurrection from oblivion shows that superheroes are not the only entities with hidden powers. Businesses have them, too, in the form of underutilized or underappreciated assets — assets that can reinvigorate their core businesses.
Spidey into Musical :
Spiderman 3 was released in five languages(Telugu,Tamil,Hindi,English and BHOJPURI) throughout india. Nowadays, its very interesting to see that almost all new hollywood movies are being released in local languages throughout India. Its one way of improving the customer base by customising the global products with local tastes. And most of audience do feel the local version of the movies more funnier than usual.
And I was thinking to really entertain the global audiences, these dubbed versions can have the background scores of regional movies. In the context of spidey3, think of
- Tanhaaiye song from Dil Chahta hai for the scene when MJ leaves P.Parker
- Salman’s ‘garam chai ki’ song for the scenes when the ‘black’ spidey flirts around.
- Ofcourse, a title song during the titles and intro scenes.
