i think the filmmakers will learn from there mistake of having 3 villains and keep to one. Spiderman 2 got great ratings and if didn't open on july 4th weekend it most likely would have surpassed spiderman. the highly anticipated spiderman 3 broke the first weekend box office records but mostly because people thought it was going to be good due to the great spiderman 2. The domestic box office for spiderman 3 flundered and sits at 332 million and is making less than 1 million a week now so it will end up right around that mark compared to spiderman 2's 373 million and spiderman's 403 million. Why did spiderman 3 perform way below its predecessors even with a 151 million debut weekend? Because it just plain wasn't as good and the critics and the people say they tried to cram to much in one movie. More is less was the case. None of the villains really got to develop into a complex and interesting antagonist like Doc Ock did, and Venom easily could have done that as he's pretty much a fan favorite but yet gets only like 20 minutes screen time total. The filmmakers will most likely not make the same mistake and will stick to one villain that will make the movie more interesting and gross more money. Spiderman 3 was a one-time theater thing unlike spiderman 1 and 2 .

Thing is though Spidey 3 is the biggest grossing Spiderman film. I've also realized that I could care less as to what a critic says. A lkot of critics didn't care for Spidey 3, that is their prerogative, but that didn't stop millions of people from seeing and loving it also. No will it stop Sony pictures from making many more.
