Spider-Man has extended its superpowers to video stores.
The year's top-grossing movie, which shattered box office records last spring with a $114.8 million opening weekend, set another record Friday with 7 million DVD and videotape copies sold in its first day of video release.
The previous record was 5 million copies of Monsters, Inc., sold on its first day in September.
A sequel is due out in 2004.
At theaters, Spider-Man took in $405.7 million domestically, for the first time bumping a Star Wars film out of the top box office spot for the year. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones, which grossed $303.6 million, hits video next Tuesday.
