Bono and The Edge’s Broadway production of ‘Spider Man - Turn Off the Dark’ has rebounded from earlier harsh critical review by raking in $2.9 million over nine performances during this past holiday week. ‘Spider Man’ came so far as to oust previous top-spot winner, Broadway juggernaut ‘Wicked’.

The Daily Mail reports that with its $2.9 million in earnings during the holiday week, ‘Spider Man’ has broken Broadway records, making itself the production with the highest gross for a single week. The previous record was held by ‘Wicked’ which earned $2.2 million over eight shows.
