SPE enjoyed a blockbuster 2002 with the record-breaking SPIDER-MAN, which crossed the $400 million threshold. The webbed wonder is the fifth film ever to surpass that level in domestic box office gross and only the third to do so in its initial release. In addition, the studio crossed the $1 billion mark in domestic box office gross in the summer of 2002, joining the billion dollar club for the second time and shattering its own record for reaching that box office level faster than any distributor in history. Contributing to this record was the release of SPIDER-MAN, MEN IN BLACK II, STUART LITTLE 2, PANIC ROOM, BLACK HAWK DOWN and MR.DEEDS. The studio broke both the domestic and international box office records bringing in $1.57 and $2.87 billion respectively.

With a rich history that dates back to the birth of the motion picture industry, today SPE is known throughout the world not only for its top motion pictures and television programming, but also its breakthrough digital innovations and leadership as a 21st Century broadband studio.
